This is Macon, GA at its worst. This display of embolden privilege is the "white man's" comparative estimate of "thug/s" in the public square........in my opinion. One commenter of The Macon Telegraph's article stated get rid of everything associated with the “war of the states”, sarcastically. I think that is an excellent idea. Jews do not want to be reminded of the atrocities inflicted upon them and the perpetrators of those atrocities (Hitler) and neither does blacks want reminders of their ancestor historical atrocities. Let historical museums tell the story rather than flaunting on any given day the white man’s comparative equivalent of the holocaust in the city's square. Yes, the holocaust, because that historical event shares the same if not identical motives and intend as slavery and that in my opinion was to destroy a race of people.
The event is history (his story - your story), but be sensitive and compassionate enough to share it with those who would like to hear it, and display that history,(preferably in a museum) where people who do not agree with your story (his-story) of what took place a choice to see it or not and to hear it or not.
Macon GA you have demonstrated (as many times before) by allowing the Beer Festival in Rosa Parks Square and The Confederate Memorial Day Event to take place in prominent spots in downtown Macon things not to do in Macon, GA and how racially insensitive, divided, self-absorbed, and pompous this city is…….get a clue?
