Racists Furious That MLK Memorial Will Be Built At ‘Confederate Mount Rushmore’
At Stone Mountain Park in Georgia, which is the home of a giant carving of three so-called “heroes” of the Old South–Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis, and Stonewall Jackson–there will soon be a memorial to a true hero of the South, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. But from the furious reaction of some die-hard haters, you’d think someone had proposed scraping the mural off the side of Stone Mountain.
The planned memorial will feature a replica of the Liberty Bell, complete with the inscription “Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia,”–which is a line from Dr. King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. There will also be a memorial to black Confederate soldiers. All of which sounds like an idea that is long overdue….READ MORE at LiberalAmerica

If it is a separate carving, I believe it would be okay but it should not be included on the original.

i can’t for the life of me, see that it will be included.

A separate monument would be okay and well placed, but we do not need to infuse upon others artistic works. Think of Mona Lisa holding a baby.

being that the little girl is carrying a permission slip to ‘walk while being black’ …
but it is close to the land that allows worthless sacks of LYING gz to roam around with a state authorized illegal firearm locked and loaded,
he could view her as being ‘suspicious’ to him – after all, she is walking on a ‘deadly weapon’.

I have no problem with an MLK monument. Probably a good thing. I am very anti-confederate (kinda comes with the territory when you are against slavery) but I don’t support changing or destroying the original defacement. Whether I approve of it or not, it is part of our history. I don’t think we should do the kinds of censoring of history that the Taliban or Isis engages in.
