RE: Equal Rights.

in #til8 years ago

One question, at that time these rights didn't apply to slaves and to some men who weren't considered free men, they couldn't bear arms, and these guys couldn't vote either, and guess what? Women couldn't vote either, so your founding fathers didn't have these people in mind when they assigned these rights, so what happened here?

Sort:  

at that time
Since then those errors have been rectified.
Sane people strive to learn from past mistakes.


I dunno what country you are from. You might check your history a bit.
__ 1775–83: Britain's rebellious North American Colonies ban or suspend the Atlantic slave trade.[33]__
We also fought a warover slavery a hundred years later, when some folks refused to take the hint.

A million died.

What a nice way to engage in discussion!
Let's just lead off with an obnoxious statement like "I don't know what country you're from!"
Hmmm, I think that translates to "You don't know SHYTE!"
Great. Building much Social Capital with those tactics? Naw, you don't need community! You are a FREE MAN! You can do it yourself! Have fun carrying all that water - the LAST thing you want to do is collectively create a water distribution system that benefits your whole society, so that no one has to carry water daily, and to create jobs running said system. NO, SOCIAL programs like that lead to Becoming NAZIS! Or worse, damn red COMMIES!!!

Arguably, the Civil War had less to do with slavery and more to do with the balances of power. Slavery was just a convenient rallying cry. No, no further discussion needed. Look it up or just don't believe it - I don't care.
