A press release from Richard Rose, the president of the Atlanta chapter of the National Assn. for the Advancement of Colored People, calls for the elimination of the Confederate carving, calling it a "glorification of white supremacy."

"It is time for Georgia and other Southern states to end the glorification of slavery and white supremacy paid for and maintained with the taxes of all its citizens," the release states.

"History reminds us that despite the hero status accorded to Robert E. Lee, the West Point educated Lee was a traitor who led the military effort of the breakaway states, including Georgia."

Folks. There's a part of our history that involves slavery and bondage. You can tear down every monument you want in efforts to erase the past, but in the end, you've failed to re-write history. All the monuments should stand. They should stand as reminders. They are teaching moments....

The release continues, "The insurrection's sole purpose was to create a separate nation that would maintain the enslavement of generations of African descendants."

Rose said in a phone interview with The Times on Tuesday that "symbols demonstrate people's mindset. They mean something. There are monuments all over the South... that were erected to demonstrate and celebrate white supremacy."

He said that the art work is also inappropriate because none of the Confederate leaders depicted hails from Georgia.

"The heritage we should be celebrating is the U.S. heritage. We're not a separate nation," Rose said. He added that he is working with local lawmakers to push this issue forward.

In an interview with local Atlanta WSB-TV, Rose said that the Confederate carvings "can be sandblasted off or someone can carefully remove a slab of that" to sell at auction to the highest bidder.

The stupid people are going to keep this up until they get what's coming to them. Obviously, they want another war, and they're very close to getting one. This BS has gone far enough. There're a lot of folks that have had just about enough of this BS. I knew they wouldn't be satisfied with just the removal of the flag, I knew it. I hope and pray they get what they deserve pretty soon.

Yeah but certainty means nothing, what you can prove means everything. So your OP is a lie, its one guy with an opinion.

And you're losing your shit over one guy, and this other stooge is begging for a war....because of one guy

Sonny must be a democrat calling for the citizens to have a war. I dont know if you can have a war on one guy but.....

FYI - Sonny is NOT a Democrat, Republican, Liberal, Conservative, Moderate, Right Wing, Left Wing, nor anything other than an American for America, period. And, In my opinion, if "they" keep this BS up, they'll be another war, and I'll be glad when it comes.

 

[ogibillm]

why the fuck do we have a giant stone carving honoring traitors?

Hardly so. Sonny wants everyone to live in peace and harmony as one people, one nation, undivided. What do you want?

P.S. Calling me names shows you immaturity. Care to discuss the issue as adults?
