Final Article- The Resurface of the KKk and the Confederacy movement On Stone Mountain
Stone Mountain Georgia home of the worlds biggest confederate Memorial. Many may not know that stone mountain its self is a huge Mountain that sits In the middle of the city of stone mountain 30 mins way from the city of Atlanta. what many also might not know it is where the KKK started at. Picture everybody telling you racism is dead no such thing stop living in the past well this mountain is living breathing proof that racism is way alvie and prospering. The KKK is a group that was started by six confederate veterans who where originally from Tennessee they are considered extremist and some would say a type of christian terrorism. The revile of the clan started on April 23 2016 the politically correct name for said movement was pro-white rally/White Lives matter. white yes people are included to any type of freedom of speech but the asking of every one to bring there confederate flags as well as passing around clipboards asking people to join the new KKK is just wrong. Local state leader back the protesters saying that "when the clan was around certain people would act right so maybe we need to bring them back" this was a support statement from local democrat Johnson who was elected to office by 84 percent of black. its also been showed that state leaders are paying for these rallys tying to get more and more people to come out saying "we need to take out city back". Not only is this a direct target to the black culture but its also putting us in the mind that white are the better race. This is what the rally focused on learning the white supremacy ideology it states the belief or feel that the white race is superior or better in certain aspects weather is brain size looks economic structure back round anything you can think of. no race or religion should be more prominent then the other but thats why the kkk was formed and now is trying to continue to grow. Around stone mountain not only are the carvings of the former confederate leaders still carved into the mountain but the Confederate flags are still waving high slave houses are still up and preserved but for what ? The state leaders say it would be wrong to take these things away because its a part of the culture and all it would do is destroy the culture of the city as well as the state which goes back to the point of it only matter that your culture may be wrong but the millions and millions of other who have to walk by the old plantations live on roads named after Confederates and slave owners they don't matter unless they are white. Finally it just sucks to deal with the rascims and wants of people around the state and city to have blacks out in a city as well a surrounding area that almost 90 percent black it shows that our nation is still in a time of despair and still wont be fixed unless we can all unite Malcolm X martin Luther king cant do it alone we all need to unite until then the resurgence will continue to grow as well as our filling of oppression and lack of understanding for each other
