When are these idiotic broadcasters of "fake news" ever going to learn true history? The 4 men who are on the face of Mt. Rushmore were not responsible for being slave owners - - it was the thing to do at the time. It's just the way things were, and even if lots of people dislike it NOW, there's not a thing we can do to change the history that was.
Not possible.
Those years are long past and we don't HAVE CONTROL of those years now. How stupid do these people have to be to figure out that tearing down a bunch of statues is NOT going to change what took place in our past??
As far as I'm concerned, the people who are responsible for the slave trade at that time are the people who brought those people over here on those over-crowded ships. Do we know who that was?? It was NOT our gubmint at that point in time, and that's a fact. So - - who was it? Who headed up those slave ships? Who rounded up the people to put on those ships? It certainly wasn't George Washington or Thomas Jefferson.
These protestors, as well as the ridiculous newscasters, need to just give it a rest now. Either that or start apologizing for not using their God-given brain. They are displaying pure ignorance at this point. No wonder no one listens to their asinine programs.
