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"

Why not put a warning sticker nearby saying, “Viewing this picture may offend sensibilities and cause nausea or abdominal distention.

If the Democrats want to get rid of monuments to a culture that had slaves and fought the government of the USA, then

Get rid of the Indian Reservations.

Sure, let’s take down as long as mosques are also removed for symbols of the racism, oppression, and national terror that they are.

The founding of this country is no longer taught in school. I doubt many of the millennials know who Stonewall Jackson was.

Oh, their ultimate target is the Jefferson Memorial, after which everything “Washington” will be expunged.

This sh!t must be defeated. Not resisted, defeated.

So cops do exist on the east coast?

Amazing. Too bad when the big events occur they cops back east seem to be nowhere in sight.

What are they all doing?

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

Control the history. Control the future. Give them enough power, and we could witness another tyrannical nightmare.

#1:"Stone Mountain carvings today and then Mount Rushmore tomorrow."

#2: "American Taliban."

#3: "reminds me of something the Taliban did"

Before and after pictures of the Buddahs of Bamiyan:

Interestingly, these statues were carved about the same time the Vandals and Goths were overrunning Rome and the world entered the Dark Ages. We in the 21st century are either on course for Dark Ages II or Civil War II.
