Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire NAACP calls for Mount Rushmore to be demolished

At a hastily organized news conference today, the national president of the NAACP asserted that images of two of the presidents honored on Mount Rushmore, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson, are "offensive and hurtful."

National NAACP president Rev. William Barber claimed that he was shocked Friday when he was shown a picture of the monument. Upon researching the memorial's history on Wikipedia, he discovered what he described as "disturbing truths" that require the site's "total demolition." Both former presidents were slaveowners.

One historian who disagrees is Civil War historian Kevin M. Levin. "I sympathize with Reverend Barber, and normally I do not disagree with black people, especially those who are bigger than me. But as a student of history, I think we need to appreciate Mount Rushmore in its historical context."

These arguments have not changed Barber's mind. "He is right that it has a historical context," Barber said. "But what is that history? The history of racism. The history of lynchings. The history of death. The history of slavery. If you say that shouldn't be offensive, then either you don't know the history, or you are denying the history."

When asked why the images of Lincoln and Roosevelt should suffer the same fate, Barber laughed. "They've been hangin' with George and Tom too long to be innocent. They had their chance."

April 1, sucka's

Too bad.

April fools...

This is too precious....


If it werent for at least Lincoln that dude would be cleaning out a horse stable somewhere...if he were lucky.

I think someone should sculpt a likeness of Obama on black stone.



Then toss it up in the air and hit it with a baseball bat

Yes, April Fools. They would never destroy Rushmore because of all the treasure stored in the tunnels behind the faces. You saw the movie, didn't you? And the tunnels lead to Warehouse 13. The town of Eureka is in South Dakota too (eurekasd.com) though they say it's in Oregon. Ties in with the Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory at the old Homestake Gold Mine for experiments on dark matter and neutrinos. South Dakota is America's well kept science and technology secret. All the pheasants are to distract you.

(The Deep Underground Science and Engineering Laboratory project is for real anyway. The pheasants too.)

Microscopic dark matter?
In between the ears of NAACP perhaps?

Tell these bastards take their America hating history hating asses back to africa and carve their own damn mountain.
And when they're done don't bother telling us about it because we don't give a chit. Jump off top of the son of a bitch and feed the buzzards for all I care.

I wouldn't be possible to carve a large likeness of Obama.
The ears would break off.

^ Take a big damn chunk of coal for sure!

The Emancipation Proclamation ONLY freed slaves in the 'rebellious states' south of Mason-Dixon! It did not apply to slaves in the loyal border states!

My dog just "birthed" a likeness of Obie
Talented bas-turd, did it without looking

Like the fact the Rev just found out about Mt Rushmore DFN

Another dumb ass black who needs to be taken to the top of Rushmore and tossed off .

I'd be in favor of dynamiting Lincoln and Teddy off, but not Jefferson and Washington.

You are a dumbass

Somebody could get up there and chisel Lincoln loose, as far as I'm concerned.

I'll never understand why they have a likeness of the man who destroyed the country next to the likeness of two men who created it.

Blacks are brain dead race that only have the color of their skin to do the thinking or lack of in most cases.

Sshhhhhh don't tell everyone.

I have always been under the impression that Lincoln fulfilled his oath of office by doing everything within his power to preserve the Union. What more could he have done to meet his obligations?
