(The website sucks and the link doesn’t show the image as I intended, on mobile at least, so here’s just the image from that site: stone mountain carving )
Yup, that’s right, they carved their racist confederate leaders into a goddamn mountain.
That website is hilarious btw.
A FAMILY PARK! WITH HISTORY! AND FOOD! AND A MONUMENT CARVED INTO STONE TO REMEMBER THE GREAT SACRIFICES OF WHITE SUPREMACIST SLAVE OWNERS IN THEIR RESISTANCE TO THE AGGRESSIVE NORTHERN OPPRESSORS AND DESTROYERS OF WHITE IDENTITY! DID WE MENTION THE CORNDOGS AND FUNNEL CAKES?
The architect was actually the same for both, and he designed Mt. Rushmore after Stone Mountain. Mt. Rushmore was originally supposed to depict Lewis and Clark, Sacagawea, Crazy Horse, Sitting Bull, and Red Cloud, but this racist mf’er convinced the government to use founding fathers instead
Reminder that while Mt Rushmore is obviously dogshit and insane it exists…don’t worry, Georgia one-upped the rest of the nation:

Another to add to the list. Decolonization is gonna be great.
Not just a mountain, the largest single rock we could find.
