ESPN Analyst Jalen Rose Wants To Cancel the Term ‘Mount Rushmore’
https://whitehousewire.com | Aug 7, 2022 

ESPN analyst Jalen Rose is attempting to cancel the term “Mount Rushmore” because he believes it is “offensive.”

Rose demanded that the term “Mount Rushmore” be canceled because the monument dedicated to U.S. presidents was built “on top of dead bodies” of Native Americans.

“And 25 years later, to add insult to injury, four American presidents were put on what we call Mount Rushmore on the top of the dead bodies that is buried right underneath,” the NBA analyst asserted. “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.”

Rose caused a stir last summer when he claimed that the Team USA basketball squad only selected Kevin Love because he’s white. Rose spouted that Team USA was “scared to make an all-black team representing the United States of America.” However, Team USA fielded a basketball team comprised entirely of black players in 2016.

And have you ever tried to dig under Mt. Rushmore to locate graves?   I’m guessing it would not be pleasant.
