ESPN analyst Jalen Rose wants to cancel the term 'Mount Rushmore,' Kristi Noem fires back: 'Not...

CPT (Join to see) - He didn't say change the name of Mount Rushmore. Obviously your reading comprehension is lacking...he said for people to stop using the term "Mount Rushmore" to refer to people as "the top four greatest entities in a certain category." No one said, in this article, renaming Mount Rushmore.
But no one can deny that it has a very problematic history.

What New York attorney are you talking about? Jalen Rose is an ESPN analyst and I'm pretty sure he used to play basketball.

""So, I call for you and for myself — I'm owning this, too — let's stop using the term ‘Mount Rushmore' when we're talking about our favorite rappers, talking about our favorite movies, talking about our favorite players."" -- That's what he said. He said stop using it as euphemism, kind of like how people have misused "rape." Like guys on video games in the past would say "oh man I got shot in the back, dude just raped me." Or things of that nature. He didn't say rename Mount Rushmore...

"Defeat of the natives?" What the...are you talking about? That sacred land was stolen from them. Multiple treaties between the federal government and indigenous tribes have been violated by the federal government for generations.

Set aside your white privilege for five seconds...jfc.

SFC Fuerhoff,
Rushmore is the attorney for whom the mount is named. To be totally honest I have never used "Mount Rushmore" in the way you describe. I also haven't used the term "rape" in the manner you describe since working as a detective with the Exploited and Missing Child Unit (a joint Louisville Div. of Police and the Jefferson Co. Department of Social Services TF).
I will re-read the article(s) to determine if I actually did misread the information provided.
Since you are accusing me of using "white privilege" you should know that I am a white male, who has served the last 41 years either as a police officer (and occasional detective), combat arms officer, a public health practitioner, and now as a police chaplain working to help officers and detainee's alike. In your eyes, I may have "white privilege", but I have served my nation and my community my entire adult life.
I enjoy no white privilege. But you and those who believe as you seem to, are racists of the worst possible variety. You have the 1st Amendment right to believe and write whatever you please. But people who only judge others by the color of their skin are cut from the very same cloth as Hitler and the Nazi Party. Just as happened with Nazism the pendulum is now swinging back against radical progressives and Socialists. Enjoy this period of minute influence, it will pass away soon enough.

SFC Kelly Fuerhoff -
Oh I forgot ... yeah we beat their collective a*ses on the battlefield.
I don't approve of the way that the Native American people were treated, or the methods used to force them to finally lay down their weapons. We can and should find a way to assist them (when needed) whether on the reservation or not. We owe a lot more to them than we do to Ukraine.

CPT (Join to see) - Well if you don't play video games, then you wouldn't have heard it have you? I used to and I heard that - or when I was in mostly male units I would hear "rape" used as euphemism when it shouldn't have been. Long before SHARP.

I don't care about your biography at all. You being a police officer doesn't help your case at all. I'm a white woman and fully understand the privilege I have with my skin color. Does that mean I have never suffered hardships? No - it means my skin color wasn't a contributing factor in any hardships. So you definitely scream white male privilege. 100%. Did you really just invoke Godwin's law? You really brought in Nazism into a discussion that had nothing to do with it? Really? You really have no idea what Hitler or the Nazi movement was about do you? That's just another conservative dog whistle used to deflect when you have no point. You, as a white male, have not had the same experiences in life as men of color or people of color. Just like I have not had the same experiences as women of color or people of color. I can recognize that because I started listening to people of color and educating myself.

So you have no clue how the land came to be stolen from the natives and then desecrated with the monument. Now I didn't really know the history of Mount Rushmore until after I had visited it because they don't teach the true history of things that happen in this country.

"Yeah we beat their collective asses on the battlefield." What are you talking about? The US government didn't "defeat" anyone, they committed mass genocide. They violated numerous treaties with the indigenous tribes. You are the worst type of person because your ignorance is so blatant and you don't see it. Or you just pretend to not see it. Then you say you don't approve of the way indigenous people have been treated after saying "we beat their asses." What is wrong with you? Holy shit man. You have some serious issues.

I used to watch a lot of sports on TV. I now don't miss any of the professional sports I used to watch. I will watch the occasional College Football game, but that's all.

CPT (Join to see) - If it is not my local college team playing I never turn ESPN on, totally useless. Do not like politics mixed with my sports.
