Members of the NAACP, The National Coalition to End the Confederacy, and other groups, carried flags and signs as they marched from Stone Mountain Village into Stone Mountain park, and eventually up the mountain. The Stone Mountain carvings represent one of the largest confederate monuments in the world. Supporters of keeping the carvings as is say the monument it's a representation of history. "I think its more of a work of art. It's a representation of history that is part of our United States," one park visitor said. Meanwhile those who oppose it, said its a sign of hate. "Its a symbol of the past and the past was filled with hate, it is there footprint," Reverend Jeffery Benoit of the Clayton-Henry County, National Action Network. Both Republican Gubernatorial candidates, Brian Kemp and Casey Cagle, have said they want to see the carvings kept in place. Meanwhile Gubernatorial Democratic nominee, Stacey Abrams, has previously called for the carvings to be removed. |

There is no reason what-so-ever to destroy it. |

A lot of people lost their lives fighting a civil war over it. People think the civil war was about states rights, well what were those rights? The democrat party wanted to make the entire US a slave country and take control of Mexico & Central America for the purpose of slavery. |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76657865 United States 07/06/2018 11:01 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | My understanding about Stone Mountain is that it was previously privately owned and was given to the state with the condition that the monument be continually maintained and kept in good condition. If the monument isn't maintained ownership reverts back to the original family who owned it. So the monuments can't be removed otherwise the state loses the entire state park. |

To me I see that and it's a beautiful carving. To be honest I couldn't name who it is of if someone didn't tell me; it just looks like history riding into the sunset to me. Passed History, I would call it. What makes their twisted interpretation more valid? |

Whom do they think will perform the sandblasting? Not Jaquavious or Shaniqua. Too much work. The NAACP will bitch and moan until some ethnomasochistic SJWs or cuckservatives do it for them.

Slavery and Civil War aside, what always disheartened me was that such a beautiful and curious natural wonder (research the geology of Stone Mountain) was defaced by ANY type of carving. It would have been better left in its natural state. |
