Democratic Party: Mount Rushmore is White Supremacy

[Theodore]

The Democratic National Committee's official Twitter account on Monday attacked President Donald Trump's planned Fourth of July celebration at Mount Rushmore as "a rally glorifying white supremacy."

"Trump has disrespected Native communities time and again. He's attempted to limit their voting rights and blocked critical pandemic relief," the since-deleted tweet read. "Now he's holding a rally glorifying white supremacy at Mount Rushmore — a region once sacred to tribal communities."



The tweet linked to a Guardian article that detailed criticism from Native American tribes about Trump's proposed Fourth of July event. The article quoted a member of the Oglala Lakota tribe who said Mount Rushmore symbolized white supremacy and glorified conquerors who committed genocide.

"Mount Rushmore is a symbol of white supremacy, of structural racism that’s still alive and well in society today," the member told the newspaper. "It’s an injustice to actively steal indigenous people’s land then carve the white faces of the conquerors who committed genocide."

The DNC's Twitter account deleted the tweet after posting it.

The famed monument, completed in 1941, displays the faces of Presidents George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Theodore Roosevelt, and Abraham Lincoln.

In May 2019, Trump announced that the annual fireworks display would return to Mount Rushmore after a 10-year absence. The fireworks display ended in 2009 due to concerns over environmental impacts.

Gov. Kristi Noem (R., S.D.) said that free face masks will be provided at the event, set to take place Friday, but that attendees will not be required to practice social distancing.

More people ascribe to this nonsense then you think. The Boston Globe frequently runs stories that declare that white supremacy is a pervasive and huge problem in society. A lot of people believe it. Here is today’s Op-Ed

Despite all the discussions of race and policing in the past five weeks, the root cause of this horrific violence is rarely mentioned. That is why I wrote "The Problem Is White Supremacy." @GlobeOpinionhttps://t.co/jSroQxlrsR

These Mother****ers are nuts

Honestly I hope people are paying attention to this madness.. but sadly I don't think that's the case..

The media/social media is hellbent on Trump losing the election.. and Covid19 has turned what looked like a landslide relection for Trump into a 50/50

Depends what u ask and how u ask in these polls.

If u ask if white supremacy is a problem or stuff like that of course you'll get answers you'd expect.

It's different if u ask if taking down monuments to Washington because its racist.

Just for the LOLs I really do want Biden to win and have him choose someone like Stacey Abrams as VP, then he steps down and has her become President. A social justice warrior that is deep into identity politics.

So basically you want to see a full out race war?
