6. Outkast is probably the group most responsible for making Atlanta the center of hip hop

And that should definitely be celebrated.

I actually kind of agree that the original statue should stay, personally, if only for its own historic worth (it's the largest bas relief in the world). But there's no reason not to add to it.

7. Someone should take a sledge and chisel to the whole thing.

Shave off all the confederate traitors and replace them with civil rights leaders.
