I thought I saw it all with the change to the "General Lee." Now it seems that confederate monuments throughout the South are under attack. The latest is a petition to remove the carving of the three Confederate generals from Stone Mountain. Will it ever end? Surely this single tragic event in Charleston hasn't fueled this witch hunt. I wonder what made it grow to this point, where images and monuments long left alone are suddenly under attack. I was born in Detroit but live in the South. You can't erase history. People of all colors and nationalities visit Stone Mountain by the millions. Why this and why now?

COL Ted Mc
SSG Leonard Johnson - Staff; Not until they start rounding up all the "Rebs" (defined as anyone who has more than 12.5% "Rebish blood" (unless, of course, they are rich and connected to the people who are running the program) and sending them off to "The Camps" in order to effectuate "The Final Solution of the Rebish Problem" it won't be.
Simply wanting to erase any physical trace of a FORMER foe is nothing unusual (either in America or any other country).

I suppose that the Crazy Horse Monument
http://www.npr.org/2013/01/01/167988928/the-slow-carving-of-the-crazy-horse-monument
will simply have to go too.
After all, like the Confederacy, the Sioux went to war with the United States of America to preserve their traditional way of life and prevent the federal government controlling territory they saw as theirs (both legally and traditionally) - and lost.
Mind you, a trip to the Little Big Horn Battlefield will be sort of boring without any mention of the "Indians".

Stone Mountain has pretty long ties with racism. The KKK was re founded at that site in 1915. MLK Jr even mentioned it in his "I have a dream" speech.
"let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!"

I've said this in other threads and I'll say it in this one too:
"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it."
