Look dumbass, the first op-ed author was asking if Mount Rushmore is the ultimate test for those people who have been tearing down statues.
The second one is based on Native Americans and the ancestors.
Grow up and quit with the partisan bullshit. People like you are what's wrong with America.

Do you see the left( Pelosi et all) decrying monuments being taken down?
The Dems aren't disowning the radicals - silence is acquiescence.
nothing ever bothers you. "it's fine" for you if it's looting / assaulting cops with bricks and Molotovs
Like Lafayette Park. That's not the "real left". HA HA HA HA

HA HA HA.
I'm not the one tearing down US Grant / Andrew Jackson, George Washington and setting the head on fire with a gas soaked American Flag or saying the Emancipation Memorial in DC is racist
Why is Mt. Rushmore different? according to the radicals it's not. get woke

I tried to debate. You moved the goalposts.
Like I said - you & Fox went for the intellectually dishonest position that being anti-Mt. Rushmore is somehow a mainstream Dem position. It's shameful. Then, when I call you on it - you say I "can't debate."
I try to debate you all the time. You're reduced to a handful of oft-repeated, predictable generalizations. It's very sad.

For some Native Americans, Mount Rushmore is a symbol of broken treaties, white domination
the Supreme Court in 1980 upheld the Indian Claims Commission's ruling that the taking of the Black Hills was illegal under the Fifth Amendment, based on the fact that 75% of the tribe’s men had not consented to the agreement.
“A more ripe and rank case of dishonorable dealing will never, in all probability, be found in our history,” the majority opinion stated in United States v. Sioux Nation.
The Lakota tribe has been offered monetary settlements now worth about $1 billion, according to Jeff Ostler, a historian at the University of Oregon, but they refuse to accept it saying they will only accept the land back that was illegally taken from them.

How many mainstream politicians or activists have said Mount Rushmore is racist? I don't care about an opinion piece by someone with little to no influence.
I do think eventually, when Whites are a minority, Mount Rushmore will be destroyed. But there is no push for that right now and when it does happens, it won't be a partisan issue.
