Is "creative" a euphemism for stupid?

They were built by the Africans. The Roman’s just altered history books to fool y’all into thinking they made them.

What would a smart creative man like yourself name it today?
The "Rosa Parks back of the bus memorial mountain"?

Like the Europeans who called our cities New Orleans and Baton Rouge?

2 pages and only 4 posts injecting race into a thread about a fricking mountain. Politics have completely taken over some people's minds.

There are a heaping pile of S. Creeks and Rivers around the world...you'd think that someone would be brave enough today to call those what they were called initially since going up one of them without paddle is universally known to be problematic....shortening it to a simple "S" does not give the uninitiated the proper sense of what they might face should they venture up one of those bodies of water...

Stoned/ Sue Gunter Mountain.
In the 70s and 80s it was referred to as Stoned Mountain by many....and rightly so. Nothing better than being 16 years old and hanging out at Stoned Mountain getting stoned and trying to get laid...it is like a shopping mall today but back in the day it was pretty wide open to just about anything...

Nope, not at all.

Right, but the topic of the thread (which is dumb so shame on OP) is about the name of things. Or does the aqueduct have a really creative name?

Stone Mountain was built by slaves, like everything else.
While it categorically was not it was not financed with any real interest until Brown v. Board of Education...then all of a sudden a monument to the confederacy seemed like a good idea. It was initially proposed by a woman whose own writings indicate that she came up with the idea after seein "Birth of a Nation" and initially it was going to have Klansmen in the mix with the Southern Gentlemen who exist on the thing today.
Stone Mountain has an interesting history and way to many people on both sides would like to white wash it, pun intended. Like all of the other confederate monuments around the world, the vast majority of which are less than 70 years old, they should be preserved and signs posted stating why they were erected in the 1950s and 60s and not in the 1860s. The good folks who want them preserved because they represent their ancestors don't want them around if the real reasons they were erected was exposed...and the evidence for those reasons is ample in the forms of Op Ed pieces in local papers and records of how they were financed and who was behind it...if the true history were known the very people clamoring to keep them in place would quietly remove them out of embarassment...
