The more American history I read, the more I realize alot of the time it is the wrong side of history....

the famous quote of Churchill , "Americans can always be trusted to do the right thing, once all other possibilities have been exhausted.”

Wake up America and dump Trump !

For those interested, Snopes covered this very pic. It's mostly correct, but muddles some details.

Thanks. More memes could do with references around here.

It's extra fucked up that the native monument was called "Six Grandfathers." Choosing to carve massive heads of old white dudes on it is just insult to injury.

I'm sure that fact was not lost on the KKK when they funded it.

Sounds like a DEI initiative. They wanted to diversify and make the white man in charge. The wanted equity so that the white man had all the control. And the wanted to include white man laws, religion into the area.

fucking white men DEIing themselves into fucking everything. it's disgusting, and it pushes out competent people everywhere.

how could anyone fail to suspect any institution that put one of these incompetent diversity hires in charge?

Suppose the status-quo lasts for a hundred years. Do you think Israel will name it's sports teams or helicopters after the Palestinians? Do you think IDF paratroopers will shout "Arafat!" when they jump?

Previous admin already cleared the area to make way

It's a monument to racism, genocide, rape, etc.

hey, don't forget pillaging! pillagers so often go unrecognized these days, next to the rapes and racism and genocide, and I feel like, in a society with such rabid property fetishism, we could very much stand to give them more of the recognition they deserve, instead of shuffling them off to an 'etc'.

American history and legacy

USA has always been an evil nation and nothing has changed

Any source on it being funded by the KKK? Sounds true enough...
