Gamey, that belies what you commented on earlier, about standards from over 100yrs ago. What is the difference then? Legal, historic, social context, establishment decree, it doesn't matter. It is now used as a crux to scream oppression. We know legality is full of selective reasoning and hypocrisies, we just need to learn from past mistakes. Africans even enslaved their own and sold their own to the white traders. Legal documents in writing which have the force of law and the state behind them are very different than one person's personal bias. The problem with the U.S. Constitution is that it guarantees its citizens certain inalienable rights in one place, and then takes those rights away arbitrarily from others based on race. The U.S. Government is 250 years old. It still exists and it must be held accountable. Governments need to be held accountable for many things, but what is relevant today\now, not what has already passed.
