Title: “They Can Sand Blast Lee, Jefferson Davis, And Jackson” Off Stone Mountain

The Atlanta Chapter of the NAACP is calling for the removal of the Confederacy from Stone Mountain Park. Local chapter president Richard Rose says, “It is time for Georgia and other Southern states to end the glorification of slavery and white supremacy, paid for and maintained, with the taxes of all its citizens.” According to Rose, “all of this recognition of Confederate generals is upholding the white supremacy on which the Confederacy was founded and the war was fought.” He goes on to say, “all of this should have ended in 1865 when Lee surrendered to Appomattox.” He’s referring to, what historians refer to as, one of the last battles before Confederate Army General Robert Lee surrendered to Union Army Lt. Ulysses Grant on April 9, 1865.

Recent debate about the emblems was sparked by the mass killings at Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston, South Carolina. Alleged gunman Dylann Roof was seen in photographs posing with the Confederate Flag. While some consider the flag as a commemoration of their heritage, others consider it a symbol of hate. On Friday, South Carolina removed the flag from its statehouse grounds.

Georgia removed the Confederate emblem from its flag in 2001, though the “Stars and Bars” from the First National Confederate Flag remain on the state flag. The Confederate Flag still flies at Stone Mountain Park, which is owned by and run by the State of Georgia. Many, like Congressman Hank Johnson see the park as a museum for the Confederacy. According to Johnson, “where do we draw the line, do we blast the faces off of Stone Mountain?” Rose says “yes”. He adds, “they can sand blast Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Jackson off tomorrow. I’d be extremely elated.”

Rose calls it “unfair, unfortunate, and unconscionable for the State of Georgia and any other government to continue to commemorate and spend taxpayer dollars in upholding and preserving Confederate monuments and symbols including the flag.” On any government property, Rose says, “those symbols should be eradicated.”

A compromise, Rose says, would be to “add other figures to Stone Mountain”, those who he says have been “instrumental in bringing peace between the races” and in “elevating Georgia beyond the Civil War and Jim Crow eras.”

" “where do we draw the line "

Damn good question.

This whole feeding frenzy over the Confederate Flag is insane. Now they want to dig up dead generals & their wives, and now ant to destroy Stone Mountain.

I think the frenzy is being continued by a bunch of low iq idiots. The Fed govt wants it destroyed because to them, it symbolizes resistance to the Fed govt, and it gives the feds a tool to increase division.

+1000.

They may be a bunch of low IQ idiots, but as long as the King, Queen and all their mind-numbed idiots do their bidding, we have a major problem. Simply defined, the Confederate battle flag has symbolized resistance to tyranny and the preservation of State and personal sovereignty.

The govt is now at one with the academe, the media and thousands of tax-exempt liberal-left "Foundations," collectively chipping away at the foundation of the America's traditions and heritage. AKA, specifically those whose ethnicity, morals and ethics are based on White, Christian, and Western European.

As soon as lunatic Dylan Roof is used to broad-brush millions of Americans, the idiocy of author (as well as YOU, Willie Green) are clear.

As a result of thousands of whites are murdered in cold blood EVERY day, I don't hear the public outcry to remove MLK statues and references.

And WHY is a single Mexican Flag still flown in these United States? Illegal Invaders from MEXICO are murdering Americans by the bushel-full.

And don't get me started on the Muzzie's symbolism.

I guess according to the self-loathing, guilt-ridden pasty-azzed hating whites, ALL antiquity's monuments should be torn down pronto (except for statues of 0blabla, MLK, Stalin, and Marx.)

I've never been to see Stone Mountain Park.

of jack-asses say I shouldn't be 'allowed' to? Eh?

“It is time for Georgia and other Southern states to end the glorification of slavery and white supremacy, paid for and maintained, with the taxes of all its citizens.”

I see the public school system still working well at propaganda. Civil war was fought over states rights and slavery was sold to the northerners for moral cause.

Never forget north had slaves and million(s) of them. Best guestimate over 3 million.

If you want to blame someone one blame black people for enslaving other blacks. Blame a black person for making slavery "legal" in the North America.

Anthony Johnson (b. c. 1600 – d. 1670)

"Though Casor was the first person declared a slave in a civil case, there were both black and white indentured servants sentenced to lifetime servitude before him."

Even whitey was a slave too but you don't hear about this in the victomHOOD.

Somewhere beyond an imposed complete and absolute compliance and submission of the white race and total destruction of the nation.

"Antiquity" in Western Civilization generally refers to anything prior to the Fall of Rome (476 AD), dummy.

Stone Mountain deserves to be obliterated same as all the monuments to Stalin/Marx, Saddam Hussein, Idi Amin Dada, Pol Pot, Hitler/Nazis and all other contemporary despotic regimes. The Confederacy was EVIL and all its monuments should be eradicated.

Frankly, I wouldn't sand blast Stone Mountain... that's merely erasing the figures superficially... Instead, I'd level the whole mountain with high explosives... blast it to smithereens and use the gravel to build a highway and create jobs...

Of course, if some sculptor wanted to replace Lee, Davis & Jackson with Sherman & Grant, I might be persuaded to spare the mountaain.

Willie, your opinion has been duly noted. It has been found to be highly dubious, and absolutely worthless!
