The constitution was a compromise between the crackers who thought this and the crackers who actually believed the part about freedom. It’s been debated for hundreds of years but there was never a consensus that America would be a racist shyt hole for ever. Though even if you believe that, who cares, those crackers didn’t have electricity and thought leeches was modern medicine. We’re in the year 2025, post Obama, post the end of segregation, post the civil war. A senator saying shyt like this isn’t an “interpretation” it’s him being racist. We all know it, we also know a bunch of white people dont agree with him.
