A coworker asked me if I wanted to see this. I’m like no??? Who drives that far for some chauvinistic rocks

Can someone outline the grandfathers? I can’t see them

They also just left an ugly pile of rocks sitting at the base of the mountain.

All because some guy had a huge boner for Teddy "Kill the [Indigenous person] save the man" Roosevelt of all people and wanted people to share his blatant worship of the man (which according to the bible they supposedly espouse would be a form of idolatry, but then again, what do I know).

And the historical info was God awful, no real truth telling including not acknowledging the dude started on Stone Mountain and was kicking it with the Klan before he got that gig. My mom and I were disgusted with that place and made sure to visit and support the Crazy Horse Memorial.

I just….maybe the cruelty was the point? Or maybe there ARNT as many mountains as I think there are…but WHY did they have to pick a specifically sacred mountain?

Also…why could they not clean up the fucking rubble at the base of Mount Rushmore? They were supposed to be professionals…

Definitely the point. It's all they knew and all they know. That's why they get so scared of "Land Back" because they think it means we will do genocide back

I hate what they did to that mountain, and other things. It's so gross.
