Governor Candidate Calls For Removal Of Stone Mountain Carvings

STONE MOUNTAIN, GA (CBS46) -

Former Georgia House Minority Leader and candidate for governor of the state Stacey Abrams is calling for the Confederate carvings on Stone Mountain to be removed.

Abrams tweeted that the carvings is a "blight on our state and should be removed". She also tweeted that "Confederate monuments belong in museums where we can study and reflect on that terrible history, not in places of honor across our state".

The Confederate Memorial Carving has images of Confederacy President Jefferson Davis and Generals Robert E. Lee and Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson and were not complete until a dedication ceremony on May 9, 1970. Finishing touches were completed in 1972.

Abrams says the carvings have no place in the state and were "paid for by the founders of the second wave of the Ku Klux Klan." She also says the carvings have "no purpose other than celebration of racism, terror and division when carved"

Maybe I’m not the political genius that Stacey Abrams is but it seems pretty stupid to me to alienate over half of the electorate. While I believe that the Civil War was a huge tragedy that should have been avoided while still eradicating slavery, I have no issue with the former Confederate states honoring their war heroes.

The North owned slaves. Tear down the Lincoln memorial.

The American hating left are going to be busy for the next 3 year destroying American history. Lots of targets readily available.

How long before those thugs desecrate headstones of Confederate soldier's graves?

Is Stacy Evans any better on this issue, because I’m hoping that she wins. The entire country’s history should not be held hostage to 13 percent of our population.

“Most slaves were black. Blacks remind me of slavery. When are we going to get rid of THEM.”

Brilliant!

They wouldn’t have to kill anyone. When the sandblasters are sent up, a few ricochets off the granite will send them packing. Antifas OTOH will simply be picked off.

There won't be any snipers.

Stone Mountain could go up in a giant gray cloud of dust and dynamite and there's be a hundred posts here saying, "One of these days we're gonna get really, really mad!" and another hundred posts wishing that Richard Spencer and David Duke would go away because they're agents of George Soros and making everyone look bad.

And that's the truth.

Monticello will be sacked and burned by an angry mob within five years. Mount Vernon soon after.

Didn’t Trump promise us to be the law and order president? Here’s a perfect opportunity.

Right you are. And respectable conservatives will say, “I can’t demonstrate against removal of those monuments because that Nazis will show up and I’ll be on the evening news and everybody will think I’m with the Nazis and I’ll lose my job.”

Didn’t a lot of the LAPD cops drive their black-and-whites into a large concrete building during the Rodney King riots and disappear in 1992? I seem to remember that.

And the San Jose Trump rally last year, when Trump supporters were chased down and attacked?

And the Berkeley riot recently, when antifa goons attacked conservatives on campus with bicycle locks in a sock?

Incompetent cops who do nothing is a coast-to-coast affliction.

I think we should dismantle the University of Virginia because it was founded by a slave-owner.

__________________________________________________________________________

Monticello and the Jefferson Memorial too. And all other buildings associated with the slave owning founders of the democrat party.

No argument. During the big events, they’re as useless as the east coast cops. No question.

White House and Capitol were built by slaves, according to Michelle Obama.

Therefore...
