We absolutely should use the state to sandblast Stone Mountain. It's on private land so there's no other way to do it. It's an insult to every Black person in America, especially the ones in Atlanta.

I'm sorry but insults don't warrant state action. This seems to be a fundamental philosophical difference that we aren't going to come to agreement on.

Racism is not "insults." Anyone who says that has clearly never been the object of it.
