That is some really ugly stuff. I do hope the authorities are following up, investigating it and watching out for Councilman Bond and his family.

A blast from the past…
Interviewer: Alright, Mr. Wilson, you’ve done just fine on the Rorshact… your papers are in good order… your file’s fine… no difficulties with your motor skills… And I think you’re probably ready for this job. We’ve got one more psychological test we always do here. It’s just a Word Association. I’ll throw you out a few words - anything that comes to your mind, just throw back at me, okay? It’s kind of an arbitrary thing. Like, if I say “dog”, you’d say…?
Mr. Wilson: “Tree”.
Interviewer: “Tree”. [ nods head, prepares the test papers ] “Dog”.
Mr. Wilson: “Tree”.
Interviewer: “Fast”.
Mr. Wilson: “Slow”.
Interviewer: “Rain”.
Mr. Wilson: “Snow”.
Interviewer: “White”.
Mr. Wilson: “Black”.
Interviewer: “Bean”.
Mr. Wilson: “Pod”.
Interviewer: [ casually ] “Negro”.
Mr. Wilson: “Whitey”.
Interviewer: “Tarbaby”.
Mr. Wilson: [ silent, sure he didn’t hear what he thinks he heard ] What’d you say?
Interviewer: [ repeating ] “Tarbaby”.
Mr. Wilson: “Ofay”.
Interviewer: “Colored”.
Mr. Wilson: “Redneck”.
Interviewer: “Junglebunny”.
Mr. Wilson: [ starting to get angry ] “Peckerwood!”
Interviewer: “Burrhead”.
Mr. Wilson: [ defensive ] “Cracker!”
Interviewer: [ aggressive ] “Spearchucker”.
Mr. Wilson: “White trash!”
Interviewer: “Jungle Bunny!”
Mr. Wilson: [ upset ] “Honky!”
Interviewer: "Spade!
Mr. Wilson: [ really upset ] “Honky Honky!”
Interviewer: [ relentless ] “Nigger!”
Mr. Wilson: [ immediate ] “Dead honky!” [ face starts to flinch ]
Interviewer: [ quickly wraps the interview up ] Okay, Mr. Wilson, I think you’re qualified for this job. How about a starting salary of $5,000?
Mr. Wilson: Your momma!
Interviewer: [ fumbling ] Uh… $7,500 a year?
Mr. Wilson: Your grandmomma!
Interviewer: [ desperate ] $15,000, Mr. Wilson. You’ll be the highest paid janitor in America. Just, don’t… don’t hurt me, please…
Mr. Wilson: Okay.
Interviewer: [ relieved ] Okay.
Mr. Wilson: You want me to start now?
Interviewer: Oh, no, no… that’s alright. I’ll clean all this up. Take a couple of weeks off, you look tired.

I used to perform in the retail plaza across from this monument. I know the area, and the people who come to watch very well, since prime time was 2 hours before and 1 hour after the nightly laser show. The park itself was a treasure (last time I was there was 1999.) Last I knew the retail side had been taken over by Dollywood, so it might be different today from what I knew. Hopefully not by too much.
It’s impossible to understand how magnificent the carving is from pictures; photos alone just can’t do it justice. For example, when the work was finished they held a party on the rump of Lee’s horse that included tables and chairs and all the workers.
I’ve seen the laser show hundreds of times. I’ve seen the old black and white pictures of it being made. I’ve seen the monument from the overhead cable car system. I’ve gotten as close to it as a person can without a climbing rig. And I still have trouble wrapping my head around what an amazing feat of engineering this thing truly is.
And it needs to go.

To be clear: just because supporters of these monuments to racism are raging racists does not mean that these racist monuments are racist. Okay?

True. Colored people and whitened people alike can look at the giant monument to treason carried out to preserve slavery.

Interesting and intelligent comments over there supporting the fine “heritage” of Stone Mountain. Personally I think they should give this man’s insightful commentary heavy consideration:
Why change history now.jimmy carter did not help us .stone mountain will ther for people the pass and what not to do.why the changes now.some people do not care for the pass an some do.thanh hard about this.talk to the people.that is our history you are going to hurt.

I looked at this reply and some others, and now I need a long hot bath. Strange how the South esp. Texas talks about seceding and I say let them because smart states, i.e. the blue ones, can band together for a more perfect union

Whomever wrote the email, they seem nice. I’m sure they’re just misunderstood, and their hearts are in the right place.
That is fucking hilarious, and awesome. We could put speakers on the mountain, and have it blast out this memorable hit from Outkast as people come by:

My understanding is that when Lee put away his uniform, he vowed not to wear it again, directed that he not be buried or eulogized as a Confederate, and asked that no CSA uniforms be allowed at his funeral. At Stone Mountain and throughout the south images of Lee wearing his greys are displayed. How does this honor him and his “memory” when he specifically rejected this image, and asked others to also put it away?
