NY Times Takes Aim at Mount Rushmore as Racist
The Jewish Voice ^ | July 2, 2020 | The Jewish Voice

Posted on 07/02/2020 7:00:00 AM PDT by Bon of Babble

The Times tweeted, linking to a story about the controversial past of this granite monument to four former presidents:

"Mount Rushmore was built on land that belonged to the Lakota tribe and sculpted by a man who had strong bonds with the Ku Klux Klan. It features the faces of 2 U.S. presidents who were slaveholders."

“Native Americans have long criticized the sculpture, in part because it was built on what had been Indigenous land,” the Times wrote.

First BLM was stirred up, now Native Americans.

What makes a land “indigenous land”?

So what? Don’t care. Will never care. And I’m actually to the point that I desire these PCdiots be offended at every available opportunity.

The NYT is much easier to bring down than Mt. Rushmore.

Trump is about to go there so you knew this was coming.

The New York Times was built on land that was stolen from the Indigenous People by Dutch White Dudes with trinkets and muskets. Maybe they should level it and give it back.

The New York Times was built by Holocaust deniers, the KKK and slave owners.

Who made the New York Times the spokes person for our country?

Mount Rushmore honors four of the greatest presidents this nation has ever had - men who created and preserved the freedoms today’s spoiled cretins depend on to whine. If you don’t like Mount Rushmore, then pack your bags and leave - go to a nation which will humor your spoiled whining. Don’t expect the carvings of the presidents to go anywhere.

The people with ‘strong KKK’ bonds HATED Lincoln.

They even assassinated him.

NYTimes is very busy pushing Commie/marxist propaganda.

The NYT has truly gone off the deep end. Even Pravda would not do such a stupid anti-national thing.

The science is now settled. Everything white is helplessly, hopelessly racist. Locked into the DNA. Has to be quarantined, removed, replaced. Requires open borders — tear down that wall. An utopian, non-white world awaits, just like it is in the non-white world around the globe.

The Tom Cotton episode reveals that management is afraid of their own woke staff. There is no place for them to go but over the cliff.

Wow.

They are a piece of work.

““. . . And although Lincoln was behind the Emancipation Proclamation — a move some have characterized as reluctant and late — he has been criticized for his response to the so-called Minnesota Uprising, in which more than 300 Native Americans were sentenced to death by a military court after being accused of attacking white settlers in 1862.”

They don’t acknowledge Lincon’s work on the 13th Amendment at all ! (abolishing Slavery)
