They didn’t even clean up the rubble
That was intentional, the klansman who built it didn’t choose a place that was culturally significant to the indigenous people by accident.
I’m not American, but the isopods that live with me under the same rock weren’t aware that this was made by Klansmen
Don’t worry - most Americans don’t know either.
iirc they ran out of money and weren’t even able to make it look the way they intended. Like they planned for it to have a 5th face or wanted to do full bodies or something like that but they couldn’t get it done
They didn’t bother to check what the mountain was made of. The answer was granite.
They thought they knew what it was made of, but took their assumptions for granite
Are you saying granite? It’s granted, with a D. Take things for granted. Did you actually think it was… Jesus Christ Rick, what are you a boulder, a rock person? How long have you been saying that wrong?
What, you can erase my memories?
I would never have known this without your meme, thanks anon.
I’ve seen them before and they are ugly. None of them would have wanted their face there so who is actually being honored?
Teddy did. That’s why his face is included
While Teddy was the self-aggrandizing type who probably wouldn’t have objected to having his face carved into a mountain, Rushmore wasn’t even proposed until long after Teddy’s political career was over.
I dunno, Theodore was also a reknowned appreciator of natural beauty, so I could see it going either way.
Yes, he protected land like this from developers. He’s the reason we have national parks. No way he would have approved this.
It should be given back to the natives, with reparations. I wouldn’t be surprised if they wanted to remove the faces and attempt to restore it.
We’ll start by giving them back your house
If that’s what it takes to make reparations happen I’ll gladly give mine. Thankfully that isn’t what reparations would require so you just look like a racist asshole.
Another example of why downvotes are sometimes necessary. All they’ll care about is the six people that agreed with them
