Predominantly Black armed protesters march through Confederate memorial park in Georgia

A predominantly Black group of heavily armed protesters marched through Stone Mountain Park near Atlanta on Saturday, calling for removal of the giant Confederate rock carving at the site that civil rights activists consider a monument to racism.

Video footage of the Independence Day rally posted on social media showed scores of demonstrators dressed in black - many in paramilitary-style clothing and all wearing face scarves - quietly parading several abreast down a sidewalk at the park.

The protesters all carried rifles, including military-type weapons, and some wore ammunition belts slung over their shoulders. Although African Americans appeared to account for the bulk of the marchers, protesters of various races, men and women alike, were among the group.

One video clip showed a leader of the demonstrators, who was not identified, shouting into a loudspeaker in a challenge to white supremacists who historically have used Stone Mountain as a rallying spot of their own.

"I don't see no white militia," he declared. "We're here. Where ... you at? We're in your house. Let's go."

DeKalb County as late at the 1960s was known as klan country. Around 1915 Stone Mountain (the actual mountain) was the birthplace of the second heyday of the klan. (It was first created in Pulaski, Tennessee in 1866.) Around 1945 the third heyday of the KKK was born at Stone Mountain.

Now, DeKalb is majority Black and has been so since around 1990. Stone Mountain is also majority with at least 70% Black residents, and I believe they are armed to the teeth.

Gwinnett County, which is next door to DeKalb, was once a GOP stronghold, is now a county where Whites are a minority. It is a very blue county politically.
