#ThisIsNotUs ignores the fact that in earlier versions of our constitution, a black individual was only considered three-fifths of a human.

No they weren't. For purposes of counting population towards apportioning representatives, the Constitution counted slaves as 3/5 of a person. Not black people, any slave whether black, white, yellow, etc. And, on the flip-side, free blacks were counted as a full person.

To exclaim that “this is not us” is to ignore the reality that the majority of the acts of terrorism in the United States in the last eight years have been committed by white supremacists and right-wing extremists.

Oh really? Can this guy name any acts of terrorism committed in the last eight years? Any at all? .... I'm pretty sure almost every 'right-wing' attack (not even terrorism, just plain attacks) has turned out to have been a left-wing agitator.

Yes, and the reason slaves were counted as 3/5 was to REDUCE the representation from slave states in the House, which, if slaves had been counted as 1.0 instead of 0.6 would have been that much greater.

In 1790, the slave states had 30/69 seats in the House. Had their slaves been counted as 1.0, even though they could not vote and were not citizens, they could well have commanded a majority.

The 3/5 clause was an anti-slavery measure.
