        What's not so funny is there are talks in the works to remove this as well. What's next Mount Rushmore?

        Mount Rushmore was carved by a racist who held a covered position in the KKK, and was close friends with rapists/murderers.

        Mount Rushmore was carved on sacred Native land, and was supposed to have Lewis and Clark, Red Cloud, &Buffalo Bill...

        But the racist made edits to the original idea, probably because he didn't want to carve a Native. So yeah, blow the thing to smithereens.

        This is truly disgraceful. I remember visiting Stone Mountain when I was a kid. Despicable racists leave my beautiful mountain alone!

        I hiked up Stone Mountain in 2008, and took a big'ol piss right at the top.

        They know what the cross part symbolizes right? Yet they apply for permits to burn it? Would they equally burn one of their many flags?

        The Charlottesville klan gathering was just the tip of the iceberg. The nation is full of scurrying white supremacists emboldened by Trump.
