Relax, Jonathan.
This was liberal paranoia on steroids. On his Sunday Show on MSNBC this week, saying that the prospect of a constitutional convention, something advocated by many conservatives and Republicans, "scared the hell out of me," and really "blew my mind," Jonathan Capehart actually expressed this concern:
"The one thing that folks need to understand is any rights that have been granted under the Constitution, even as an amendment, such as granting full U.S. citizenship to the former slaves, would be up for grabs in a constitutional convention!
"And with the way folks [i.e., conservatives] are acting right now, I wouldn't put it past them during the constitutional convention to go back to calling me three-fifths of a person."

If anyone is making you smaller, it’s yourself, Jonathan, with this kind of absurd, paranoid, statement.
Ping to Liberal Media Criticism list.
Nah, you’re not important enough to bother with so go away.
Well we already think you’re 5/5ths of a moron, so...

Stupid and ignorant is a bad combination. Unless you live in WokeWorld, where stupid, ignorant and woke is a tribal identity marker.
Well, he does only possess three fifths the intellectual capacity of a normal person. So, not a slave, but definitely a mental midget.
When you’re in a business to say stupid things, it gets harder and harder to out-stupid the last stupid thing the last stupid person said
Shameful ignorance. The 3/5 thing was a census trick to reduce the political power of the slave states. I guess this low IQ fool wanted the slave states to totally dominate US politics prior to the Civil War. Which would probably have meant, no Civil War at all.
she’s flattering herself - Communists aren’t people
Yes!
From the article:
“The Southern slaveholders wanted all slaves counted as people. It was the Northerners who wanted only free people to count! This was because the Northerners didn’t want the slave states to have a larger representation in Congress by counting their ‘property.’”
Conservatives might make you put on some overalls and start pickin'.
I hear they'll be serving Moon Pies and RC Colas at break time.
Don't give yourself airs.
I just checked the newly updated secret whitey playbook this morning and that’s not in there.
Little Jonny has had such a rough life in America. He wanted to be a moron and somebody tied him up and sent him to “college”. However, the aho still can’t get a job. He works for the “media”. It’s all he can get. He really should go back to his homeland where he will be 3/4ths human. What an idiot.
The apophenia is strong with this one.
He looks like the sort of guy who might get monkeypox ...
You’re already at 0% of a human as a commie. Up next? Subhuman! Congratulations! You’re 1/5 below amoeba.
If you were being held as a slave by Democrats and Democrats were using you get more power in congress without giving you a vote, then yes, we may Recalssify you as 3/5th of a person.
You flatter yourself, Mr Victim. Maybe 1/5
It's very effective propaganda.
Remember when Joe said, "they'll put y'all back in chains"? It may have been a complete and evil lie, but it was still emotionally effective.
