Sounds ugly but there's truth to the assertion, in my exposure at least.

There's no love among the majority of black people for the United States Constitution. Never mind the arduous efforts to find a workable solution to the obvious incompatibility of the institutions of human bondage with the ideals of our Founding, never mind that many State constitutions expressed this incompatibility (even some southern ones), the fact that it continued utterly condemns it in their eyes.

Never mind that the United States didn't invent or impose or even permit for long the African slave trade, or that much of the world continued on with it, or that fellow Africans sold their ancestors into slavery or that Arab Muslim traders were responsible for capturing the majority of them, never mind the blood and death of war that resulted in the end of the practice or the treasure expended in an apparently futile attempt to right the wrongs, real or perceived.

I just wonder what the statute of limitations on the grudge might be. The Axis of Al doesn't appear willing to jump off that gravy train any time soon, so I suppose we'll be penalized for an inherited, legal practice ... forever, bwuahahaha!

In schools, the Constitution is taught to be a document created by slave holders who made black slaves only worth 3/5ths of a person.

In reality, it was created by people who abhorred slavery and the 3/5th clause was put in place to reduce the power of the slave states, only giving them the legislative power of their full population when their full population was free.

In other words, the real Constitution set in motion freedom for all.

Some are for sure. I hear this arguement tossed out from time to time.

My opinion based on observation.

Why do 90+% of blacks vote for Marxists? ...because they revere freedom and liberty? or because they believe the progressive left are really there to help them. I mean as far as indoctrination is concerned that is some neat trick.

...and I have NEVER heard a black man or women articulate the premise of my thread, only the context free distain for the 3/5ths of a person crap.

Col. Allen West is a clear example of the opposite, but blacks who identify themselves as conservative with a reverence for the constitution I would argue are few and far between.

I’d love to be proven wrong.
