"Wow, so many things wrong with that statement.
I didn't change the subject or skirt your answer. You're the one that brought "white men" not concerning themselves with other groupings when making the constitution. You aimed to lessen the credibility of the document and its policies based on the fact that "white men" didn't write it with other nationalities in mind. What national founders ever did?
I didn't skirt your questions, you skirted mine. You devalued the constitution on the basis of "biased white men" and I pointed out that it was a flawed argument and IF there is something wrong with the constitution you should bring up the policy flaw.
You didn't, or couldn't, so you now try to switch things by saying I didn't answer your question. What question? What argument? You didn't make an argument, you merely ranted about the fact that the US constitution was made by biased white men. Still, the aim of the constitution was focused on liberty for humans.
Yes, it is terrible that men back then looked at some people of different cultures as chattel, but the reason that the policies of the US constitution still work today with people that those white men didn't consider back then was because the principles were simply about liberty for individual humans.
Satisfying answer?
So you're white, you clearly indicate that you're part of that self-hating white group then. Whatever, I agree that white people did bad stuff in the past, but modern white people have no obligation to right those wrongs, they didn't do it. People just need to move on.
I believe that you would find it racist to point the finger at any other culture and say those people didn't consider white people when they were founding their national policies, therefor it is terrible and stupid. Obviously, that sounds dumb, because it is dumb.
Now, to the comment about me being closed-minded. Closed-minded to what exactly? My original post was very neutral, not politically left and not politically right leaning. If I had been of a particular political faction my peers would have been disappointed with me in something said in that original comment. I called anarcho-capitalists extreme right wingers, which I doubt one viewing themselves as an anarcho-capitalist would appreciate.
I'm not a republican, I'm not even a patriotic American, though I do believe the US constitution was one of the most brilliant constructions ever designed by humans. The aim for that document was decentralization and when you take the time to read it you will likely find that it was beautifully designed. Seems it did not create a incorruptible government though, which is a failing."
