"How 'bout a KKK theme park?" . . . Please come CAPTION the new NRA President, Carolyn Meadows!!!

[skip fox]

NRA President Carolyn Meadows is saying: "And I tell those people who get upset because I helped block the construction of a bell tower honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. on Stone Mountain in Georgia, that there wasn't a bit of racism involved. Stone Mountain is the site with a statue depicting Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Jefferson Davis on horseback. . . . Why should such a sacred site be desecrated with the bell tower honoring the man who opposed their ideals? . . . You know the old saying: 'Give them an inch, and they'll take a mile.'"

1. And by them she means

the blaaah people.

[Chin music]

2. If they could, they'd erect a memorial tower for the

Austin Texas Clock Tower shooter Chas Whitman. Bc he was a reasonably good shot.
By all means build a kkk 'fun park', they'll be easier to ID and round up. Hopefully they build it over a biggggg sink hole.
We can surround it, and see who's 'having fun' then.

Nuthin' says 'white power' more than the use of fashion to appear a little less white.


NRA must be truly desperate. Good.

(Edit: Typically, I don't care what anyone is wearing, but here I'm struck by the irony of the person behind a racist stance trying to appear more tan thru the use of color.

Additionally, I find it kinda sorta comforting that she's willing to stand out in the herd of idiots packing heat.)

putting a hateful woman in doesn't change a thing

6. CAUTION! CAPTIONing at DU is a creative activity

but we try to channel our subject's stupidity, avarice, cupidity, etc. Or, as here, her racism.


That is, she really didn't say that (esp. the old saying which is associated with racism) but she probably would have if she thought she could get away with it.

Sheactully was the chairperson of the Stone Mountain Memorial Association (SMMA), an organization that maintains the largest memorial to the Confederacy in the United States on Stone Mountain and sat for over a decade on the all-white board governing the park which disallowed King's bell.

Some CAPTIONs, like this, are made, primarily, to inform people of what's going on (that a creature like this is Pres. NRA).

7. OIC

Ha. Hehehe. Oof. Got it.

Well, that's one heckuva starter caption to get at the gut punch in her bio.

Going forward, I'll be sure to adjust how I swing at the captions.

I adore these posts, as I use humor to process thru the daily horrors. Will choose seriousness when it hits me, but likely will continue mostly lobbing jokes.

8. My Great Aunt had a dress like that. Kudos for trying to bring it back and make it work--trying.

9. "I found this in my Great Aunt's closet, when cleaning our her estate. It's time to bring it back!"

10. "We were going to bury my Great Aunt, in her favorite dress, but I decided to make a go of it."

11. Robert E Lee owned slaves until after the Civil War began: his announced view

was that slavery was “a greater evil to the white man than to the black race” -- and that blacks actually benefitted from their slavery

Stonewall Jackson was also a slaveowner. And Jefferson Davis himself owned a hundred or more: by 1858, he was threatening secession as a response to the election of any Republican

King's famous call to "Let freedom ring from Stone Mountain of Georgia!" had a profound significance: the Confederate project to carve Robert E. Lee, Stonewall Jackson, and Jefferson Davis onto the cliff face there dates from the time of the reorganization of the KKK in a ceremony atop that mountain

The early history of the NRA certainly did not suggest it would come to adore traitors like those three: its first President was the former Union Gen Ambrose Burnside, and he was followed in that office by the former Union Lt Col William Conant Church

But of course the NRA is no longer really an organization of rifle clubs: it is the US lobbying arm of an international coalition of gun manufacturers and distributors and currently much interested in small arms trade between the US and Russia. When it seemed the Russian connection might hurt the NRA's image in conservative US circles, the organization brought-in Ollie North temporarily as a figurehead President, to surround themselves with his strong anti-Russian aroma. But when North didn't fully understand the limited role he was supposed to play, they sacked him for neo-Confederate Carolyn Meadows

The history of Russian involvement in the NRA, and the current Russian tendency to promote schismatic chaos (through Brexit or efforts such as Calexit), should strongly suggest that a neo-Confederate like Meadows has landed atop the NRA as a direct result of Russian meddling

14. What the Board, which she chaired, DID say is that a King memorial at Stone Mountain

would clash with the purpose of the park as a memorial to the Confederacy -- and she has boasted of her role in blocking a King memorial there, so the caption is not misleading, provided we do not take it as a direct quote

15. You're exactly right.

I just spiced it up a bit and added the last racist phrase.
