Ben & Jerry's is melting under pressure after the ice cream giant trashed the Fourth of July and called on the United States to return Mount Rushmore to Native Americans.
"This 4th of July, it's high time we recognize that the US exists on stolen Indigenous land and commit to returning it," Ben & Jerry's tweeted, with a link to a statement condemning the U.S. for stealing Native American lands, especially Mount Rushmore."Ah, the Fourth of July.
The frozen treats company detailed how"colonizers" robbed the Lakota people of the Black Hills through broken treaties before desecrating them with the heads of"four white men — two of whom enslaved people and all of whom were hostile to Indigenous people and values." "Sounds like it’s time for Ben and Jerry to donate 100% of their profits to indigenous people," another person suggested.— Five Times August July 4, 2023
