Still against what founding fathers wanted therefore placed in Constitution.

@Marine I know, but the fact remains in some areas of the country the people do accept and propagate it. It makes me sick.

@Sticks48 Agree completely maybe with all the northerners moving south change will happen.

@Marine I hope so. I have played places in Wyoming and the Dakotas where racism was pervasive. In the Dakotas it was aimed at Native Americans, and in Wyoming it was aimed at everyone who wasn't white.

@Sticks48 I know of them also.It is ashame people can be so stupid

@Marine The founding fathers were slave owners and they founded this country based on the official law that black people were 2/3rds human, depriving them of all rights under the Constitution and Bill of Rights. It’s embedded in our system.

@Sydland it's more complicated I think. The Declaration of Independence was the ideal, where all men were created equal. The Constitution and Bill of Rights are the compromise to get all the colonies on board. As to how slave owners could justify such inhumanity I don't know but there was no shortage of rationalization of immoral acts then just as now.

@Sydland ut They started an idea about free men and it had to start somewhere. Even George had slaves but got rid of them
