Shaun: when can I interview you?
Take a few minutes out of your day and watch this short film on how bigoted whites desecrated a 350 million year old mountain to create the largest monument to hate in the world.

As lifelong Georgia resident I’ve despised that carving since I was old enough to understand it. I would so love to see it blasted away!

Sorry, just reminding you that carving racism into mountains is not just limited to GA. Though like you, I also call Atlanta my first grown home.

They say it would be too expensive to take down but I have an easy solution. Sell $1,000 raffle tickets to fund the take down. The winner gets to fire three shots at the “sculpture” with a rocket propelled grenade to kick things off.

This is all very factual. I lived in Decatur. I witnessed the cross-burnings by the KKK. It was a horrific time for a child.
