Since the goverment gave to, then stole the Black Hills from the Lakota Native Amercan nation, should we blow up the presidential monument?

 

  It was already discussed on a local radio station program last week, the conversation was about the dozens of potentially endangered things that could fall under the protest chopping block. The Mount Rushmore Monument was one of them.

:(

I agree.

I personally think the land belongs to the Lakota.

It might have (and, even then, it's of little use or consolation), were it not for the discovery of gold, only a few years after promising the Black Hills to the Lakota in 1868. In that sense, a man-made landmark (although constructed decades later) almost comes across as a cover-up for why the land was actually seized. And the Wounded Knee Massacre also relates to this displacement.

I don't mind the monument at all, but it wouldn't be a bad thing for more people to know what's behind it (which one doesn't accomplish with explosives either).

Didn't you say that already?

 

  I wrote it as a comment to another member’s response. Here I have written it as my own response. Quit trying to second-guess me, I know what I’m doing.

  For the most part, yes, but a comparison of the two shows different wording.
