GA gov candidate calling for removal of Stone Mountain carvings

there is a lot more to stone mountain than the carvings. you might see a dip in attendance, but i doubt it would go down too much just from the carvings being removed.
it's a moot point anyway, i don't think there is any way they are going to remove the carvings.
Who had the privilege of being a winner.
Winners get to keep their statues for now.
For those states, cities, communities that historical items of the confederacy are revenue streams will have an interesting decision to make. One "issue" Shreveport is having is there is a confederate statue sitting in front of the courthouse. From appearance it is on government property. People have tried to have it taken down but there's one tiny, little problem. The patch of ground that the monument sits on isn't owned by the city or any form of government. But rather a private organization.
This doesn't have anything to do with the thread, other than they might have to change their name to just "Being Railroaded"

These people don't seem to understand that riding this tidal wave will eventually turn upon them.

What I find more odd about this is the people that seem the most offended are white people. I was in Charleston SC recently and there were a whole lot of black folks taking pictures of a whole lot of Civil War sites and statues. They didn't seem too angry or offended.
Removing memorials is apparently another version of Washington government math:
LIE: Mayor Mitch Landrieu originally said the project would cost just $170,000 and that private funds would pay for it.
TRUTH: Cost the city $2.1 million (and please don't pull the old "they didn't know they were gonna have to spend X on security" nonsense).
Amazingly enough, this isn't the most insane miscalculation involving New Orleans in the last 15 years or so:
Guy offers to pay $100 apiece to remove cars flooded out from Katrina, an offer that would have netted the city $5 million and gotten rid of a problem far more pressing than who has a statue.......Numb Nuts Ray "Convicted Felon" opted for a plan (that fell through) that would have COST the city $23 million.
When your city is run by politicians like these two imbeciles, you have FAR bigger problems than worrying about which past historical figure doesn't actually offend most of the populace, who doesn't know anyway until a stink is made.
But I'm glad for all those who were pulled out of poverty and got health care (and all those other sudden appeals we get) when these monuments were taken down. And I say this as someone who could really care less one way or the other.

Depending on which way he's coming from, I doubt he can even get there with all the road insanity documented here in recent months.......
It's called jumping on the bandwagon. By protesting in front of cameras it proves that they are not racist. Plus it helps them get "likes" and retweets, which all that really matters in the world.
