The NY Times has totally given up on a few things- journalism, objectivity, veracity and history.
They now advocate for the destruction of Mount Rushmore
First, a history lesson.
The Lakota tribe only held the land around Mt. Rushmore for a time. They stole it from the Cheyenne.
After this, the Lakotas became fierce buffalo hunters riding on horseback. In around 1720 the Lakota split into sects and scattered in the region but later by about 1760 they relocated in close proximity on the east bank of the Missouri river. However, they couldn’t cross the river for over a decade due to the influence of powerful tribes Mandan, Hidatsa and Arikara. Ending the long wait, in 1780, after the great small-pox epidemic killed three quarters of these powerful tribes, the Lakota crossed the river and settled in the grass prairies of the high plains. By 1775 all the Lakota sects were settled in the high plains and a year later they defeated the Cheyenne people and captured the Black Hills (Paha Sapa) and made it their home.They weren't exactly a peaceful tribe:
The Lakota are a very strong and fierce tribe with legendary warriors and the battles and treaties that took place between the Lakotas and the United States’ Government have a long and popular history. First recorded incidence was the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1804 where the Lakotas did not allow the explorers to head upstream the Missouri river and the conflict ended without casualties after a standoff. The southern Lakotas, in 1843, attacked a village owned by Pawnee chief Blue Coat in Nebraska and killed many and burned their lodges down.The US obtained the land from the Lakotas who killed the Cheyenne for it. The Pawnee also got hammered along the way. It was all so peaceful.However, Lakotas and other tribal bands attacked emigrant trains and settlers which attracted a vengeful hit back from the US Army in 1855 under General William Harney, killing more than 100 Lakotas.
The Lakota slowly migrated south and westward and pushed aside the Omaha tribe in this early migration. At first, they didn’t have horses, but horses were spreading throughout the Plains from Spanish settlements in the Southwest. By 1742 the Tetons had gotten horses and they became more and more like horse-riding nomads. In the Central Plains the Lakota came into conflict with the Pawnee, a village tribe that held the rich hunting lands of the Republican River Valley until the Lakota entered the region. The Pawnee war parties usually made their trips on foot, unlike other tribes. Because the Lakota were mounted on horses, they had an advantage.The Times cannot bring itself to tell you how brutal these tribes were to each other, but it is the truth.The Omaha war parties varied from eight to a hundred warriors. All members of the party were volunteers. The leader was usually a well-known warrior who had demonstrated his skill in battle. The warriors are said to have worn a white covering of soft, dressed skin for their heads. No shirt was worn, but a robe was belted around the waist and tied over the breast. No feathers or ornaments could be worn at this time. In actual battle, the warriors wore only moccasins and breechcloth.
Sometimes the wives of a few of the men accompanied a large war party to help care for their clothing and to do the cooking. A sacred War Pack, kept in the Tent of War, was important in any war activities. The contents of the pack were believed to protect the tribe from harm. A returning war party with the scalp of an enemy held a special scalp or victory dance. Men who won special honors on the warpath were permitted to wear an eagle feather in their scalp locks. Certain warriors might also wear a deer-tail headdress. Only important men wore the large feathered headdress seen in movies and only on social occasions. Only the men wore feathers in their hair, but the women might wear them on their clothing.
Trump spoke at the monument last night. The Times' response was predictable
Yet when obama visited there in 2008 Mt. Rushmore it was well, different

Exactly. Has to go because swarms of people attended/watched orange man at Mt. Rushmore.
The Leftwing media are down with the communist mobs of Antifa and BLM to act as the Taliban of America.
If it is what is a symbols of this great country, it has to be destroyed.
The thinkers (an oxymoron for sure) at these Leftwing media types conveniently leave out the fact that the entire continent was populated by native peoples before the europeans invaded and therefore the NYSlimes and the rest of them have blood on their own hands for building their physical infrastructures and buildings on stolen lands.
But then that doesn't fit their narrative, so let's move on to something else that the evil Trump has done.
I had forgotten that! Thanks.
Here’s one that will soon be here.......
By March 2018, it was acknowledged that the digital circulation for major newspapers was declining as well, leading to speculation that the entire newspaper industry in the United States was dying off. ... The number of newspaper journalists has decreased from 43,000 in 1978 to 33,000 in 2015
Why yes, good idea...they evolved randomly from the rock. ;-)
I am going to repeat what you said.
The NY Times must go! We must burn it’s buildings down and execute everyone who works there as traitors! Let them contemplate this!
So the U.S. government bought the land from the Lakot which was the only existing conqueror of the land? Did the Government pay up?
Isn’t the NYT headquartered on land stolen from the Indians for a handful of beads?
Time for NYC to go...l
NY Slimes must go.
The New York Times needs to go instead. Useless as journalists, it is now simply a tool of the Marxists. The Gray Lady, like John Brown, is mouldering in the grave...
Some had the wheel... for used it mainly for toys. But lacking animals large enough to be suitable for pulling carts across rough ground [which would require large all-terrain wheels], while having waterways in abundance [the Mississippi/Ohio/Missouri’s drainage basin is huge compared to the smaller waterways of Europe] upon which to paddle canoes of all sizes and transport everything in trade, there wasn’t much call for the wheel, though there were also overland trails, some of which our highway system still follows. If they had horses or domesticated cattle the wheel would have been practical and would have been used beyond just a toy, but about the only animal in the temperate parts of North America that could be used to pull a load was the dog, thanks to the loss of megafauna. On rough ground and fording shallow streams there are fewer hassles with a dog pulling a travois than if there had been little red wagons....and good luck trying to contain, breed and domesticate bison for use when it was easier and more profitable to make a dugout.
[In South America there were alpaca and llamas but again the wheel was impractical on narrow mountain trails so they were used as pack animals rather than draft animals.]
Native Americans, or as I like to call them, Indians, had 12,000 years to get themselves out of the stone age and build a civilization that could repel an influx of immigrants, and they didn't do it.
Their fault!
Good for you, seowulf!
Worse than that. They also had glowing things to say about Hitler and Stalin. Time to cancel culture them by canceling subscriptions to their rag that I wouldn’t even toilet train a puppy on!
If he had announced the cure for cancer they would have used the "controversial touting" template and interviewed a black lesbian facing unemployment from the chemotherapy division of a drug company about how the Badorangeman hates her.
Every week or two there's a story about tourists making friends with the cute, fuzzy cows of the plains. Three quarters of a ton of bad attitude.
Didn’t the New York Times ignore the plight of the Jews and supported Nazi Germany during World War II?
Likewise, if I had a copy of the Times, I wouldn’t put it in my parrot’s cage. It would endanger what little mental health he has!
dont post anything the ny times has to say dont let thier wordss get out
We've come to a point where no white historical figure can be honored or even represented.
