‘Faces of the conquerors’: Trump trip to Rushmore draws fire

[Kondor3]

Every vestige of this country is under attack to be destroyed. Of course Trump's visit will come under attack. Everything Trump does comes under attack.

Nahhhh... even a broken clock (like Rump) is right twice a day...

“Mount Rushmore is a symbol of white supremacy, of structural racism that’s still alive and well in society today,” said Nick Tilsen, a member of the Oglala Lakota tribe and the president of a local activist organization called NDN Collective. “It’s an injustice to actively steal Indigenous people’s land then carve the white faces of the conquerors who committed genocide.”

While some activists, like Tilsen, want to see the monument removed altogether and the Black Hills returned to the Lakota, others have called for a share in the economic benefits from the region and the tourists it attracts.

Trump has long shown a fascination with Mount Rushmore. South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem said in 2018 that he had once told her straight-faced it was his dream to have his face carved into the monument. He later joked at a campaign rally about getting enshrined alongside George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Teddy Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. And while it was Noem, a Republican, who pushed for a return of the fireworks on the eve of Independence Day, Trump joined the effort and committed to visiting South Dakota for the celebration.

SIOUX FALLS, S.D. (AP) — President Donald Trump’s plans to kick off Independence Day with a showy display at Mount Rushmore have angered Native Americans, who view the monument as a desecration of land violently stolen from them and used to pay homage to leaders hostile to Indigenous people.

Democrats literally believe that anything American is racist so anything American must be destroyed.

Being an American and voting for Democrats is like being a jew and voting for nazis.

If you buy into Democrat race baiting, you become the racist you claim to hate.

I would pay good money to see that happen SOLEY for the meltdown entertainment value.
