Please try and grow up and come up with adult suggestions for real adult problems. If they sand blast this mountain will race relation between blacks and white in Georgia be better. No........ Will there suddenly be more jobs available for black youth? NO. Will black men suddenly stop walking away from their black babies? NO. Will some mentally deranged DNA challenged white kid who live his life through chat and sees all blacks as mud creatures suddenly see the Grace of God because the mountain was sandblasted? NO> NO> NO> So lets stop with the childish PC nonsense grow a pair and start trying to come up with adult answers to serious problems
How can a small group dictate a whole nation. Stone Mountain is part of southern tradition. It does not need a poke in the eye. Much time and effort was put into the design of the park. Here is what I wrote yesterday:
To: 2ndDivisionVet
In the late 60s, while at Griswald Winters and Swain, we developed the master plan for the park at Stone Mountain. For the open meadow at the base of the sculpture, we provided individual landscape settings for each of the thirteen confederate states. The individual designs featured each states flowers and trees, along with their individual state flag.
Each landscape setting was positioned and chosen based upon the order of each states succession and framed so that there was no obscured view of the sculpture. This was many years ago, and was developed to show reverence for southern history: a history that should not be dismissed.
