A predominantly Black group of heavily armed protesters marched through Stone Mountain Park near Atlanta on Saturday, calling for removal of the giant Confederate rock carving at the site that civil rights activists consider a monument to racism.
Video footage of the Independence Day rally posted on social media showed scores of demonstrators dressed in black - many in paramilitary-style clothing and all wearing face scarves - quietly parading several abreast down a sidewalk at the park.
The protesters all carried rifles, including military-type weapons, and some wore ammunition belts slung over their shoulders. Although African Americans appeared to account for the bulk of the marchers, protesters of various races, men and women alike, were among the group.
One video clip showed a leader of the demonstrators, who was not identified, shouting into a loudspeaker in a challenge to white supremacists who historically have used Stone Mountain as a rallying spot of their own.
I dont see no white militia, he declared. Were here. Where ... you at? Were in your house. Lets go.
Nine stories high and spanning the length of a football field, the bas-relief Stone Mountain sculpture carved into a granite wall overlooking the Georgia countryside some 25 miles (40 km) east of Atlanta remains the largest such monument to Americas Civil War Confederacy.
It features the likenesses of Jefferson Davis, who was president of the 11-state Confederacy, and two of his legendary generals, Robert E. Lee and Thomas Stonewall Jackson.

I wonder if this was the group of thugs who were harassing White people in their cars?
Conservatives exercising their Second Amendment rights: "White Nationalists violently assaulting minority protestors peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights"
I never knew the Taliban were Black Americans.
I saw a Twitter post yesterday about this, someone said that immediate area was about 75% black and had a lot of black owned businesses.
Someone else said most of the workers at the park are black and he said it is awful that those workers have took at this monument every day.
Im thinking, well then just get a different job, duh!
Where is my “oppressor”?
Come out and fight me!!........crickets.
Lol. Hilarious.
I remember the Black Panthers and Malcom X pulling off the same armed demonstrations in Chicago back in the late 60’s, 70’s. Worth monitoring, but their motive of hate and intimidation disappeared by the 80’s. Watch closely to see how this develops, these times are different.
Good thing they left before dark. They did not want to face the ghost of Stonewall Jackson.

what a bunch of larping posers. Setting up camp in a national park surrounded by trees instead of marching into Chicago or Detroit and dealing with their fellow black man slaughtering their black children on an hourly basis
wimps
unfortunately those black-owned businesses are probably going to go out of business if they depend on tourism dollars because 40 or even 1000 black larpers aren’t going to spend the amount of cash an endless stream of tourists would. In fact the larpers will be expecting ppl to give them stuff, just like Chop expects $2000 worth of free pizza, every day.
I know you are, I am saying there will be no difference when the order come. A study conducted by some army officer was conducted 20 years or so ago and asked the question whether they would disarm the public if ordered to. I don't remember the exact numbers but the majority answered they would. Think that was done at 29 Palms.
It would surprise me...and disappoint me...
I dont know...I believe, like the military, the upper echelons of government would take their side, but the rank and file would not...
................................
You’ve stated here what I firmly believe to be an egregious error about how the rank-and-file of the military and law enforcement would react in any confrontation with civilian defense forces. Rank-and-file soldiers and cops are constantly indoctrinated from their first day on the job to FOLLOW ORDERS TO THE LETTER. And they are made painfully aware of the dire consequences that will result should they fail to do so.
Well, they should view it as a reminder that the slavers, Confederacy and KKK were all democRATs, just like todays big city governments, and they should be properly aiming their frustration at them.
LOL! Thanks. I have never seen that video.
Sadly it would disappoint me as well, but it would not surprise me. Rush commented a couple weeks back that we as a people have said for years that the patriots would never let this happen because we have all the guns. Well it is happening in the streets right now, where are the Patriots and their guns. Crickets.......
So what do you suggest an honorable American do?
