Yes, the original ideas behind the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were so terrible for non-white males and all females that basically the past 200+ years have been a struggle to provide EXACTLY THE SAME RIGHTS THAT WHITE MALES HAD AT THE FOUNDING OF THE COUNTRY TO ALL CITIZENS. One would have to be blind not to see that.

I’m not going to dignify any of the rest of your screed with a reply. Nothing in my response indicates my level of education, although its quite obvious you’re quite insecure about your own. That’s your bugaboo, I’ve been called uneducated by people with poorer reasoning skills than you [if you can believe it]; its the first response of people who can’t defend their point. Nothing in my response required you to flee to the archives.

Case in point, the above excerpt. Your approach seems to be that the constitution dropped from heaven, and the poor passive white males have been fighting ever since to extend the rights that they were granted, strictly by accident of history, apparently, to their brethren. In so doing, they left a wonderful narrative of legislative history in that regard–Scott v. Sanford, striking down the Civil Rights Act of 1875, Plessy v. Ferguson, etcetera, and a hundred years worth of petty legislation designed to keep African Americans from having any voice in politics and assuring that slavery would remain by another name. Yeah, two hundred years of struggle–against people like you! Almost all of the civil rights victories for African Americans happened in the last 60 years.

By the way, as I said to your somewhat smarter partner, there’s no need to bring up the actions of any other country when discussing those of your own. That’s simply childish wimpering.
