”MLK Jr. is Not Who You Think He is”: We Didn’t Know These Historical Figures Were Incredibly Problematic Until Now

Ah, Teddy Roosevelt, the rough-ridin’, big stick-wieldin’ president. Turns out he was also the OG “Teddy White Nationalist Bear.” I mean, I knew he loved nature, but who knew he was so keen on eugenics? And sure, he opposed slavery, which was pretty revolutionary to do so during that time.

But let’s not forget he was all about that “Euro-descendant” superiority. So, next time you think of Teddy as just a rugged outdoorsman, remember he had some not-so-cuddly views. It’s a good thing his face is carved in stone because it’d be pretty awkward if Mount Rushmore was able to blush!
