What do other Georgians feel about the Stone Mountain carving? [View all]

I'm kinda' curious what other Georgians feel about the carving on Stone Mountain now that it's been called out by the NAACP. Do you think it's a tribute to pro-slavery factions and promotes bigotry, or do you feel it's an honest part of our state's history?
