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.
Ding-ding, you are correct.
Real people across the country care about jobs and crime, not two groups of idiots fighting one another.
Any person, of any color, who dares tell me I am not allowed my own opinion (including voicing it) because I don’t have the “right” skin color can expect resistance from me - starting with logical speech, but with nearly no upper limit, depending on how stupid they want to be.
Bottom line: You don’t have to be a genius, paranoid, or a “Nazi” (there aren’t actually any real ones btw) to realize that THERE IS A WAR ON WHITE PEOPLE being waged by the Media, the Government, the Educational system and Hollywood.
Now, we are either supposed to lie down and take it or stand up and tell the world you’re not going to create an environment where our children grow up as targets for the hate currently being farmed by the Left.
We are at the point where everything to the Right of Fidel Castro is being called “Nazi” so it doesn’t really matter.
The Right will NEVER change the current Media, so it is time to create NEW Media and support those who support *gasp* equality, love and freedom which is what REAL Conservatism is all about.
Bottom line: The Civil Rights Movement of the 60’s was about equality and justice, the Un-Civil Rights Movement of today is about hatred and revenge.
If non-whites are always the victims in America, explain
-Why black Americans enjoy a standard of living much higher than they enjoy anywhere in Africa.
-Why there are disproportionately more Asians in elite universities (especially in the sciences) than there are whites.
-Why blacks murder whites at about 20 times the rate at which whites murder blacks.

I find Paul Ryan’s obstructionist views “repugnant”.
KKK? Really? What abunch of suckers.
There are probably no more than a few hundred (or at most low thousands) actual Klansmen and Nazis in America, and they have zero political clout. To listen to the Left (and some more politically correct Republicans) talk, you'd think there were millions of them and that they were on the brink of taking over the country.
In contrast, Antifa and BLMers are numerous, organized, and unlike Klansmen and Neo-Nazis, they have the blessing and support of most of the mass media and many prominent political figures, even when they engage in violent or criminal acts. Conservatives who complain about imaginary Klansmen under the bed while BLMers and Antifas burn our cities to the ground are just useful idiots to the Left.
There's plenty of knee-jerk virtue signalling on the right, too.
"I am NOT a NAZI or Klansman!!"
Embarrassing.
more Charlottesville violence - bump for later....
Shouldn’t this person tackle their own ignint self before trying to improve us?
