In my post yesterday I said that it is only a matter of time before they come after the carving on Stone Mountain. That time is now. They never stop.
STONE MOUNTAIN, Ga. — The Atlanta chapter of the NAACP officially called for the elimination of all symbols of the Confederacy from Stone Mountain.
This comes on the heels of the removal of the Confederate battle flag from the South Carolina State House.
NAACP’s Richard Rose says the time to move is now, but admits it may be a steep slope to climb.
But that won’t deter them. They never stop.
Shackelford, who was chaperoning a group of children from Cobb County on a trip to Stone Mountain.
“When I’m out here, and I have to be honest, when I’m out here enjoying Stone Mountain, I’m thinking about what it has to offer for what I’m coming for,” Shackelford said.
If you don’t like what it has to offer, don’t come. It’s as simple as that.
more serious point of view.
The organization issued a statement calling for the removal of all symbols of the Confederacy from the park.
“My tax dollars should not be used to commemorate slavery,” Rose said.
And my tax dollars shouldn’t be used to support welfare leeches and parasites who don’t take reswponsibility for their actions. GFY!
Rose said his group wants Confederate symbols removed from all state-owned buildings, parks and lands.
Rose told Petersen he would start with Jefferson Davis, Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson.
“Those guys need to go. They can be sand-blasted off, or somebody could carefully remove a slab of that and auction it off to the highest bidder,” Rose said.
Yep! As I said yesterday, it’s the Black Taliban. Mooselimes demolish things from previous civilizations because they consider them an affront to Islam. The Black Taliban is offended by symbols of southern civilization so they must be destroyed as well. They never stop.
Shackelford said she is all for a discussion as long as it’s not based on emotion.
“We have to look at history. We have to look at how it’s affecting all people. That’s my view. We are an organization of many faces. So, we always want to consider our total community,”Shackelford said.
A spokesman for Stone Mountain Park said any removal of the Confederate flags or monuments is up to the Georgia Legislature.
And hopefully they will save the monument, but the Black Taliban is relentless and it will never stop until we finally say, “Enough!”
