Statue not the only thing melting.

Proposals for the replacement art are coming in.

Blacks want to keep their History intact

and if it's not true, just make up some history (e.g. Hannibal and Cleopatra were black.)

That's some laughable mcarthyism/hoover FBI propaganda. if you think Dr King was a "communist" you are a certifiable moron.

You would be correct. One of you is a moron. It would be you.

You have bought into the MLK Fairytale. It is written for children and gullible rubes.

The Highlander Folk School was a communist training school. My father's family has been on Monteagle Mountain for many generations. My mother moved there as an infant and grew up there.

One set of grandparents were three miles from the school. The set five miles. You have never spent more than maybe a lunch stop in the area.

Highlander was there for the same reason Al Capone had a house about about two miles down the road from the school. People minded their own business, and grease could be applied to certain places to make sure everything ran smoothly.

Monteagle Mountain was a "Sundown Mountain". However, no one bothered the multi-racial school as they stayed to themselves, minded their own business, and left money in the right palms.

King preached actively against communism from the early 1950s onward, arguing that it was fundamentally incompatible with Christianity.

...once upon a time...

King not only trained at Highlander, but so did Rosa Parks. I know your stupid seld believes "Rosa decided one morning not to give up her seat."

Parks was a trained agitator, and the bus boycott was planned for months. Trained???? Where did she train? At Highlander Folk School, the communist training school.

Nothing you post is rooted in any sort of fact.

Everything he said is fact.

By the way, I know you believe the revisionist fairytale. Howeever, King was a woman chasing adulterer and spousal abuser, He also watched and laughed as a friend raped a woman. Saint Martin also like a few drinks too.

In case you ever actually make it to Monteagle you can vist the site of the Highlander. Right down the road is Al Capone's house.

quote:

---

The mansion was built in 1929 and still contains the original hardwood flooring and authentic light fixtures, presumably financed by Al Capone. It was put on the National Register of Historic Places in December of 1997.

In the twenties and early thirties, the three-story compound had escape hatches on the roof and underground tunnels in the basement. Capone used it for the transferring of liquor.

It is widely believed that Capone and John Dillinger lounged outside on the mountain stone patio of the building while having drinks and playing numerous hands of cards.

High Point's talented chefs, delectable creations, and charismatic and courteous service are what make this restaurant an incredible “getaway” on the mountain.
