I had ZERO idea what Stone Mountain was when we went there.
I’m from NJ, and my partner and I alternate which family we spend the holidays with, and her family is in Georgia. One Christmas we went down and they brought us there at night, and I thought it was fine.
Little shops, a train ride with Christmas lights and food places. Nice little “Christmas village” vibe. I thought it was like a state park or something.
My partner was looking at Christmas ornaments and there were ones that said “Stone Mountain” etc and then I saw a bunch of Christian ones. Like Baby Jesus in a manger… and I thought it was weird that a government park like that had religious stuff in it, and that’s when the cracks started to show.
Then I googled it once we got home, and holy crap!
I live in GA. Doctor’s offices play Christian music, there are Let’s Go Brandon bumper stickers everywhere, confederate flags on many houses, and an inappropriate amount of religious material in government buildings.
Holy shit. I didn’t know about this. That shit needs to be removed. If not by due process of law, then by citizen activists working under cover of night.
I just can’t get past how appropriate that name is.
In fucking Georgia. Why didn’t they just name it “White Power Hills”?
That should be the nickname for Stone Mountain.
As a native to Ga they need to put Outkast on that fucking mountain and let Andre redesign the laser show

It’s normal, but no less annoying.

Didn’t catch that on my first read. That’s so on the nose. I wonder what his parents say when they come to visit lol
Exactly, they’re inconsolable a black man somehow got in.
From what I understand, they used to love having them there.
oh no
