NAACP wants Stone Mountain sandblasted
Posted by jbgleason on 7/15/15 at 3:45 am66
Several posters predicted this a week ago when the flag was a hot topic. I scoffed at the idea. The flag is one thing but a national monument carved into the side of a mountain is another. We aren't the Taliban after all. Well... Boy was I wrong.

Atlanta NAACP chapter calls for removal of massive Confederate sculpture in public park
A sculpture in Georgia larger than a football field – depicting Civil War luminaries Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Thomas "Stonewall" Jackson – has become the latest target in the push to purge the South of signs of the Confederacy.
The Atlanta chapter of the NAACP called Monday for the elimination of all symbols of the Confederacy from Stone Mountain Park, whose marquee attraction is the 90-foot-high, 190-foot-wide sculpture carved deep into the mountain.
Those guys need to go,” chapter leader Richard Rose told WSB-TV, referring to Davis, the former president of the Confederate States of America, and the two Confederate generals. “They can be sand-blasted off, or somebody could carefully remove a slab of that and auction it off to the highest bidder.
"My tax dollars should not be used to commemorate slavery,” he added.

Maybe they can put one up of Martin Luther King Jr. I mean he embezzled money from the church to pay for his hookers. The same hookers he would beat up. Instead of calling it Stone Mountain, they can rename it Bone Mountain.

I believe he cheated on his wife, but this statement is retarded.

OK... maybe the Bone Mountain part but the rest is factual and very well known by those that were closest to him.

Good question, from the speeches I heard it seems his message was different than theirs. He probably would not have gotten the publicity to carry his thoughts though. I do think if he would be alive today he would be appalled by his people's actions.

I would like the NAACP to be sandblasted.
