NAACP wants removal of Confederate generals from Stone Mountain

[mamooth]

Score one for the NAACP. They got the slavery suckups to melt down completely. Again.

 

[Mr. H.]

There is most definitely a race war in progress within our borders.

It was instigated on November 4, 2008 and has the full support and backing of the White House the NAACP the Liberal Media and a host of Hollywood elite and network talk show hosts.

And... this.

Sorry, I don't do guy cooties.

[Mr. H.]

The Negro population in this country will forever be unsatisfied and unfulfilled.

The same can't be said of Mexicans, Germans, the Polish, the Italians, French, Spaniards, Russians, Chinese, Israelis, Croats, etc. etc. etc.

Whether a people were persecuted from within or from without our borders...

“Give me your tired, your poor,
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free,
The wretched refuse of your teeming shore.
Send these, the homeless, tempest-tossed, to me:
I lift my lamp beside the golden door.”

Yearning to breathe free...

The Negro population has breathed free for decades now. Just as other nationalities have breathed free for generations in this country.

Yet it is only the African-American who consistently and vehemently shouts "racism, justice, freedom, equality".

And they will continue to do so in perpetuity...

Got y'all talking about an unlikely event as if it was imminent. The wingnuts are so easy to troll, it's almost unfair.

The fact that anyone displayed the temerity to propose it is appalling enough.

 

[bripat9643]

Did you have a point of some kind?

You're free to say any stupid thing you want to say. I'm free to point out how moronic it is.

I was not aware of this Confederacy carving. The thing is three acres in size

Interesting history, especially the timing:

In 1912 the carving existed only in the imagination of Mrs. C. Helen Plane, charter member of the United Daughters of the Confederacy (UDC). The Venable family, owners of the mountain, deeded the north face of the mountain to the UDC in 1916. The UDC was given 12 years to complete a sizable Civil War monument.

Three sculptors worked on the carving during its creation. Gutzon Borglum was hired in 1915 as the carving consultant, and in 1916 he was appointed carving sculptor by the Stone Mountain Monumental Association
---- Stone Mountain Park​

Interesting because that era, the early 20th century and especially the decade of the 1910s, was the most racially explosive era in our nation's history, and it was in 1915, just as this idea was getting started, that William J. Simmons took some disciples and a fiery cross up that mountain to found the second incarnation of the Ku Klux Klan, which had been extinct for about 35 years, after watching the movie "Birth of a Nation". That version of the Klan was the one we heard the most about, and by far the largest one.

After that one petered out with World War Two, a doctor named Samuel Green went up there and revived it again, although the Green version didn't take off like the Simmons one. Happily, Green keeled over and died five years later.

The place has quite the history. I wonder if they have any Klan history displayed. Maybe what they need is a counterbalancing exhibit on civil rights and the costs of some of the past history.

A literal display of the Fairness Doctrine?

Guess I will take a two hour ride to Atlanta this weekend to see stone mountain for the last time...

Before they sand blasted off, but I refuse to take that stupid ass lame train ride around it again

I am betting the request by a single independent chapter of the NAACP won't get much traction. If the description and explanation for the monument is done in a tasteful and accurate way, it should not be a big problem.
