Armed black protesters marched in Geogia on Independence Day to protest one of the largest Confederate monuments in the world.
“Stone Mountain Confederate Memorial, a nine-story-high bas-relief sculpture carved into a sprawling rock face northeast of Atlanta, is perhaps the South’s most audacious monument to its pro-slavery legacy still intact,” Reuters
reported on Friday. “The monument – which reopens on Independence Day weekend after the COVID-19 pandemic forced it to close for weeks – has faced renewed calls for removal since the May 25 killing of George Floyd, a Black man who died during an arrest by a white police officer who pinned his neck to the ground with a knee.”
Upon reopening, a huge group of armed Black protesters marched through Stone Mountain.

They need to LEAVE IT ALONE. This is a work of art.
When it comes to
mass produced Confederate Memorials, I don't care...they need to go. They were produced for one main purpose. They aren't art.
Hmmm, no you don't get to decide that, not unless you get consensus from a majority to do so.
They are artfully done, and in fact that is all they are viewed as being now (works of art). Of course you will have those whom might solute the statue's because they don't like any culture except for their own, and so that will always exist regardless of a monument or statue being anywhere erected for them to idolize, but if one exist, then at least they visit it, and honor it peacefully and privately.
The only alternative is to create gardens and statue's of ones own liking, and hope that many will visit them, and I'm sure that they will come to visit them.
Now don't say that you, and your friends, family or folks that think like you, can't get the money to do so... I mean with all the filthy rich black athletes and leftist in this country now, then why don't we as American's see more in the form of the blacks, neutrals or leftist honoring some of their black and leftist historic heroes of the past, otherwise by creating statue's for them in rememberence of, and then placing them in beautiful gardens that represent peace and harmony in respect to them ???
Look sadly racism will always exist on all sides, but for those whom want to live in harmony together be it black, white or etc, then we do that very well also.
Many have issues with different cultures and lifestyles, and they want to live separate from them, and they don't want it shove down their throats, and they don't want their children exposed to that which they don't agree with.
Trying to force the issues is when people get upset, and they begin to push back in everyway they can, and if that means using very controversial figures of the past to take a stand against those whom want to somehow dominate them in the future, then they will revert back.
It's best to give each other space in order to come together while not invading people's private spaces in which enrages them to anger.
Am I right here ??
