Nothing in that disclaims the meme.

It does on parts of it if you read and compare on the details. For example, according to its sources, the claim about the KKK having a hand in funding Mt Rushmore is false. And the thing about $300 per bounty is probably also a wrong number, as well as the timing of it. As I stated, "The general spirit of the graphic is true about the US," but there's no reason to pretend the graphic is saying it all correct on the details if it's not, especially for what appears to have been a viral facebook meme (which are not exactly known for strict diligence in facts). That's just cannon fodder to get mocked by people who don't want to listen to any of it. And I will say I was myself too quick to take it all at face value until I was corrected. It may be that the truth of it would be considered worse and if so, that's all the more reason to make sure we're using the correct details, since the alternative would be inadvertently downplaying the reality.
