Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams called for the removal of the giant carving that depicts three Confederate war leaders on the face of state-owned Stone Mountain, saying it remains a blight on our state and should be removed.
We must never celebrate those who defended slavery and tried to destroy the union, Abrams said in a series of tweets posted early Tuesday, a response to the deadly violence sparked by white supremacist groups in Charlottesville, Va.

Oh yeah, Civil War II and World War III will be a simultaneous calamity. That’s the goal.

Just wait until they call for the banning of the Confederate Battle Flag being flown, worn or otherwise depicted even on private property or your tee shirt, belt buckle or hat......................

They will go after the American flag at some point too. My husband has family in the south. They are libs too, they are real upset about the attack on the Dixie flag.

It is not just destruction of history. It is a wholly, intellectually dishonest vilification of honorable men. And it is only limited in its destructive path by the fact that the mischief makers appear to be unaware that most of the great figures in human history are "guilty" of precisely what the Confederate leaders are accused of.
The Southern labor system was fundamentally that which had prevailed for thousands of years in the lands of American origins, as well as their rivals all over the world.
The big difference was that the Old South molded the feudal serfdom into a more humane form, and took a more emphathetical view of the bondsmen. That is obvious in what Booker T. Washington relates in his plea for racial cooperation:

Sherman never owned a slave - but he did rent one at one point while he was stationed in Louisiana. Does that count?

Libs? Upset over the symbol of Old Dixie?
They should be celebrating what they have wrought.
It’s only a matter of time..................

The state owns the mountain, which is managed by the Stone Mountain Memorial Association.

If it be war, let it come while I still have my faculties as I am getting up there a tad.

We should also get rid of Fulbright scholarships because Fulbright, the liberal Democrat, was a segregationist and opposed the civil rights act of the 1960’s.
And here’s a nice quote from the liberal Huey Long, according to Wikipedia: “When Fascism comes to America it will be called anti-Fascism.”

Ulysses Grant was a slave owner I was not aware of that. I thought he had a couple failed businesses after getting out of the military.
