Going to be a long, hot summer....and it won't end well.
These people identify themselves first by race, then by what they can find to offend them.
If Stone Mountain bothers you, don't go to stone mountain.
Is the removal of Washington and Jefferson from Rushmore next?

Does the fool know that Robert E. Lee served the US Army for 26 years before the WBTS? Does the fool know he was Superintendent of West Point Military Academy? That he graduated 2nd in his class at West Point, and was one of only 6 that had 0 demerits on his record?
That he was a hero in the Mexican American War, that he put down the insurrection of John Brown at Harper's Ferry? That he was asked by Lincoln to command Union Forces at the outbreak of the WBTS?
That's the wrong in all this. Lee and others whose families were instrumental in the building of this country, who had the courage and honor and ability to fight the un-Constitutional Federal government, whose deeds so surpass any accomplishment of minorities that their sinister attempt to defame and eliminate his memory because they fail to measure up to his shoe soles proves they are still 200 years behind the evolutionary curve. I keep hearing how this country was built on the backs of slaves. Right. The slaves are white taxpayers for the most part.
Feel good, hide history from the ignorant to make them feel better, doesn't make life better for anyone.
Coo-coo-ca-choo, Ms. Robinson.
This is nothing new. Jackson and Sharpton were blathering the same nonsense when Roy Barnes hurried the removal of the Confederate battle flag from the state flag through the Georgia General Assembly in 2001.
They will replace the faces with Obama, Holder, and Sharpton.
I first went out to Stone Mountain in 1958, I was a little kid. It was not a park, it was private property. You could just drive up to the base of the mountain. It was cool, my family would be sitting there eating a picnic, there were all these huge boulders around that had fallen off the carving.
And you looked up, way up, to see these giant figures carved into the mountain.
A few years later, I was in college, we would go out to Stone Mountain at night. Just hike up the mountain a ways, light a campfire, and drink tequila and beer.
They finally made it into a state park, took all the fun out of it.
What will they think of next...[8]
Aunt Jamima off the Pancake box.. take it off now..

I remember when that scumbag did that.
I only know one on the town board but I think her family came here in the 40s-50s. All the others are not native to the area to my knowledge. Even if they are, they disgust me for their libturd actions. I expect it to get worse as time goes on.
This town was first laid out in 1754, a grant from the English Earl of Hillsborough, although people had lived in the area for years before. It was a hotbed of activity during the Revolution, and Cornwallis stayed here before he went west, and eventually back to Yorktown after his * was spanked at Guilford Courthouse. A signer of the Declaration of Independence lived here, and General Nash, for whom Nashville, TN. was named after lived here. His home still stands.
Many historical houses and buildings remain from that period, as well as the WBTS years. My wife's family owned the inn during that time, which had been open since 1759. Her GGGrandfather was a CSA soldier and died during the war.
Now I wish the whole damn town would burn down. Let the f'ing Yankees build what they want. I won't say I'm from Hillsborough again.

AFTER we voted not to change it. That still burns me. The only good thing to come out of it was that our current flag is actually the 1st flag of the confederacy except with 13 stars instead of 7. The barnes flag looked like a Myrtle Beach placemat.
we are in a c I v I l w a r
and they are winning because whites are to arrogant to realize it, they think a war means gunfire

Exactly. I was following the situation very closely from afar.
The new flag is a good one too! Some people are referring to the basic design with the 13 stars as the 4th Flag of the Confederacy, I think.
like I keep saying

Exactly. Whites think that they can beat these scum through the vote. Such thinking is not only naive it's the easy way out.

I was really mad when they changed it the first time, especially after we had voted on it. But then when they announced the current flag and the irony of the situation escaped 99% of the people paying attention I now find it humorous. I like the current flag and in many places here it flies with the RW&B and the Stars and Bars mostly at State Monuments and cannot be removed without the approval of the GA Legislature. My office looks out on the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield. It is an amazing place to visit. The hike up the mountain is a great Nature Trail and a terrific time to educate your children and companions about what the War of Northern Aggression was really about... and it was not about slavery....
It burned me up too, Captain. 56 or Fight!
I hope I live long enough to tour some more battlefields with my son, and Georgia would be an ideal place to visit. Maybe we can visit the Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield and Chickamauga too.
I'll be thinking of you looking out of your window from time to time and remembering our forebears that wore the Grey.

I think you guys are a bit too worried, a bit too early. We are in the opening skirmishes, and many times it is best to let the enemy commit fully to his course of action prior to unloading in him. They are busily overreaching a little more each day, and each day, more and more people realize what their desired end game is.
Which means more and more people are waking up to the reality, and when the fun starts, there will be that many more people playing.

I have been to many of the Battlefields from that era. And hiked across long forgotten embattlements on many different hunts or adventures. We often stop and discuss the particular battle that happened at that location. It is a very humbling experience.
It almost always brings up the "What would you Do" question....
I wasn't very good at tennis and it emotionally scarred me. I want the Arthur Ashe statue in Richmond removed as it brings back those painful memories.
You do know his brother served as a Marine. He was a Warrant Officer working in Maint Bn on Okinawa when I was there.
One held out hope that these idiots would not go this far, but it was to be expected.

If Stone Mountain bothers you, don't go to stone mountain.

They have to make room for the coal.
