Does anyone else think Mt. Rushmore is disgusting? We come to America, kick the Indians off their land, and then carve a bunch of white men's faces into some of their most sacred land(which we gave back to them, btw, but that doesn't matter cause we'll still do whatever we want.) Borglum, the man in charge of the making of Mt. Rushmore, was even a known racist and had affiliation with the KKK. Red cloud and his indians needed supplies one winter(for fear of dying if they didn't get them). So red cloud cut a deal with Borglum. They could continue Mt. Rushmore as long as Borglum gave them supplies. Then they make Borglum look like such a nice guy by helping the Indians out, when in fact he was just out for his own benefit.
I'll never visit Mt. Rushmore. It's a disgrace to America.
