I understood the meaning of the original pledge's wording as this:
A black child born today in America has less of a chance, less hope, then a black child born in America when slavery was legal.
That's simply true. Simply, horribly, brutally true.

No, that actually isn't, as worded!

Though there was ALWAYS the possibility of being sold, under slavery, being beaten, and kept in total ignorance ( though some slaves were taught/found a way to learn how to read ), today it isn't necessarily someone else keeping blacks in poverty, ignorance, and "enslaved", but they, themselves! Yes, they can now vote, someone doesn't exactly "own" them, but the Dem "slave masters" have pushed so many of them into a position that is untenable;or should be! And THAT should have been the way this "pledge" was written. It wasn't and it is also historically inaccurate,as I proved up thread, in an earlier post.
