It would take a monster of a sandblaster, and raise some highly uncomfortable questions about the selective editing of history, but the Atlanta chapter of the NAACP has called for the removal of the giant carving that depicts three leaders of the Confederate States of America on Stone Mountain.
“It is time for Georgia and other Southern states to end the glorification of slavery and white supremacy paid for and maintained with the taxes of all its citizens,” reads the chapter’s release. “NAACP Atlanta chapter is calling for the immediate removal of all Confederate Memorial Monuments maintained by the state of Georgia using taxpayer money.”

Turn about is fair... I call for elimination of the NAACP. Where’s the caucus looking out for me?

Okay if we lose them we can only put up the entire cast of Archer then.
Made in Georgia.

They should solve the problem by privatizing the park.

The “colored people” of the NCAACP sure can get nutty when they’re offended by the latest fad ...

I suppose the NAACP will also be calling for the recall and melting down of the one million-plus Stone Mountain Memorial half dollars that were minted in 1925 to help pay for the monument.

Grind the ‘guidestones’ to dust first, then we can talk.

It’s time for everyone in the Atlanta Chapter of the NAACP to settle the f-— down and start taking their lithium again.

It was made in China.
Beside its horrible appearance it is a memorial to a communist.
Those who call for erasing history should be careful what they ask for.
