People should become educated (especially republicans) lol, before they voice their opinion about our rights in reference to the Constitution of The United States, for the following reason; (education is everything) A Continuing Foundation: European colonialism and imperialism eventually reached most of the globe and thus ~reated a global racist order, which has had severe consequences for the worlds peopTesnowf6rcenturies. The U.S. Constitution, which embraced slavery and imbedded the global racist order in the United States, remains the nations legal, political, and-to a substantial degreemoral foundation. Its openly racist provisions, though overridden by amendments, have not been deleted. At no point has a new Constitutional Convention been held to replace this document with one created by representatives of all the people, including the great majority of the population not represented at the 1787 Convention. Moreover, the racist spirit of the original document persists today. Even as they live in, and often maintain, a racist system, most white Americans still do not see slavery, legal segregation, or contemporary racism as part of the nations foundation. At the most, the majority see racist institutions as something in the distant past, something tacked on to a great nation for a short time, and something nonsystemic. From their perspective the racism that may have once intruded into the American house has substantially been eradicated. - Systemic Racism, Feagin
