Pretty sure Mount Rushmore belongs to the American people, but whatever, dude.
This photo is very sad because the Lakota people never wanted their mountain defaced like that—especially not with reminders of 4 presidents who were bad for Native Americans, all pushing policies that caused every needless problem facing their tribe spread over generations! pic.twitter.com/khNDl6AY6b

The Lakota took the mountain through violence and bloodshed. If it was “their mountain” by right of conquest then it’s ours now by the same right. https://t.co/xnJbwCRotL

A bit of actual history, for the win.
Since we’re talking wants, the Lakota did want to massacre the Cheyenne when they took the land from them just a few hundred years ago.

Seems like a detail you should add before trying to paint the Lakota as blameless indigenous owners. https://t.co/tr0xI6EyBX
It's almost like groups have been conquering each other and fighting for land since time began and that's the way life goes.
A) The Lakota slaughtered at least 3 other tribes to conquer that land.

B) They lost that same land in the same way they won it.
C) Fight harder next time. https://t.co/f8z3j5cVZm
Only the strong survive.
The proposition that the Lakota were a peaceable people who lived in the Black Hills for centuries until the white man came is an entirely fictional.

Violent, genocidal cannibalistic https://t.co/HKE7gdzfDx
It’s not their mountain https://t.co/TNo5vpNXOB

Did the Lakota care about the opinions of the Cheyenne, Crow, Kiowa, and Arapaho when they drove them off that land, @brettachapman? https://t.co/sLtbdJe22C

No, no they did not.
Who cares what the Lakota wanted?

The friend of a president wanted to carve a memorial to some of our greatest presidents https://t.co/w8oTMRasdR
NOTHING about this photo is "sad"

IT IS OUR MOUNTAIN.
The THOUSANDS of People murdered by the Lakota tribe, including entire villages of women and children in raids were primarily Crow, but not exclusively. It also included some Cheyenne, Kiowa, Shoshone villages. Lakota… https://t.co/Jc2GXk9LVC
What do you mean defaced? It had no faces before. It was faced! https://t.co/VcgnT86xwi

The face was provided. The mountain should be grateful. Heh.
You need to be very special to score this kind of ratio. https://t.co/7pely8J8HQ

Yes, a special kind of stupid.
If the Lakota people didn't want their mountain carved up, they should have won the war. https://t.co/f2GKxHRx20

That's what happens when you lose a war.
This photo is very awesome because did you know that you can beat people in war and carve the faces of your presidents on mountains? That's awesome. https://t.co/WADu4u69ov

It's kind of cool, actually.
