It’s historically inaccurate. The line in the Declaration of Independence states “ALL men” were created equal..not all white men. By putting the phrase “all men” in the Dec, it thereby asserted the U.S. was a country not to be restricted to one particular ethnicity. The fact that many early Americans were slave-holders, or held racist opinions about, or were completely unaware of other types of humans does not change the essential meaning of the document.

[James C. Bennett]

Depends on what the definition of ‘men’ constituted back then.

can diverse races live together? I believe yes with the condition that there needs to be both a common accepted culture and a common accepted notion:

1. Common accepted culture: if the culture is Christianity or Islam or Hinduism or bolshevikism

2. common accepted notion: glorification of the state or nation or ethnicity.

this has worked in the past for centuries at a time.

[Cronos]

what you cited is more to do with race than culture

So it would drive faux multiracials apopletic

Culturally there are many people who are of African heritage who are culturally Western -- we call them conservatives and we may notice they have a darker tone of skin, but that doesn't matter to us conservatives

Culturally there are also people who are not of African heritage but adopt "True" african culture as in Africa-Africa.

Finally there is the fake African-American culture which has inanities like Kwanzaa, rap, "convert to islam to rebel against Christian slavers forgetting that Moslems were the ones who first captured the slaves and sold them to Westerners...", etc -- and we have people who are "white" who fall for that as well -- Democrats

Racially, the fact is that the average East Asian has a higher IQ and the average people of Negroid heritage (not "African" as Africa includes the pygmy, Bushman and also afro-asiatic (Berber, Copts etc) people) are physically stronger and more agile -- how many times have you gone for a dance class and tried to dance something simple, even the tango and you'll find a black person so lithe and graceful while you trip over your own feet (well, it's happened to ME a lot :)

There were free black men back in those days. Remember Crispus Attucks? There’s no way the Founders weren’t aware of free black Americans. You have to ask the question if they were committed racists, why didn’t they stipulate all white men? The obvious answer is that they didn’t believe just all white men but all men.

[Sherman Logan]

I quite agree. The issue is not one of race, it is one of culture and belief.

I was using the term race in its liberal sense, by which being anti-Muslim is considered racist. Stupid notion, of course, but very common.

[Cronos]

Then we agree — disliking Islam is not “racist” as moslems are of multiple races.

Well, you're not going to get that, with the Communist International working on the minority community through its various organs like the ACLU and NAACP and the Kunstler Center and Southern Poverty Pimp Center.
