> We tried; it didn't work. The Constitution was worded very generically without labels, except for laws specific to native Americans, and using "he" as a pronoun. Most following laws followed the pattern. The result? Slavery, genocide, disenfranchising women.

If you are gonna fight for historical reparations at least get your history right.

The US didn’t invent slavery, didn’t perform the first genocide, nor the last, and didn’t treat women any different than any other modern society did at the same point point in time. The constitution is not responsible for any of that, despite all the “he”s you might find in it.

These problems have been with us for centuries. There is no society that has ever existed that hasn’t encounter them.

Progress only comes from realizing we are more equal than we are different. We should not go back to segregation, we should not keep creating labels-americans.
