If Jonathan had really had an education that involved actual facts instead of revised history, he’d have known that the big contention about the 3/5ths thing was mainly concern by the NORTHERN states that SOUTHERN states would be entitled to more House of Representative members if blacks were fully counted 1 for 1 as residents of the Southern states, and the NORTH couldn’t have a lock on everything.

I think in his case 3/5 is pushing it.

Learn some history, Capehart.

I get tired of leftists riffing on the 3/5 thing as if they have a point.

ap·por·tion·ment

noun
noun: apportionment; plural noun: apportionments

1 the action or result of apportioning something.
“an exercise in apportionment of blame”

Similar:
sharing

division, allocation, distribution, allotment, assigning, dispensation, ration, splitting, carving up, parceling out, slicing up, divvying up

2 the determination of the proportional number of members each US state sends to the House of Representatives, based on population figures.

I find this fact, ( some have accused me of apophenia ), to be quite compelling.

The 3/5ths rule counted only 60 percent of the black population for purposes of apportionments of congressmen from each State to the House of Representatives.

Therefore 2/5ths or 40 percent of the Black population was virtually nonexistent for apportionment purposes.

Irony: Since Roe v. Wade in 1973 which was overwhelmingly passed by Democrats, 40% percent or 2/5ths of the African American community has been aborted and in effect has caused 2/5ths of the aforementioned population to no lounger count and not just virtually not count but literally not count!

Therefore, I apportion 100 percent of the blame to Democrats.

Therefore, I apportion 100 percent of the blame to Democrats. I agree. Solely done for power and control by the Northern states. Hasn't changed one iota since then.

Jonathan Capehart throwing himself another pity party just for himself? Yikes doesn’t that ever get old Capehart?

Hey Capehart - think how much happier YOU would be living in a country that consisted of white liberal ‘elites’, blacks who prop up their power, criminals who are back on the streets before their victims are out of the hospital, lawyers and DOJ thugs who support criminals, and all the illegals who can get across the border. YOUR kind of country Capehart. All the gun control laws YOU want. Abortion up until the time of birth and an hour past in case the baby’s ugly. Sexual weirdos will teach your children from K - 12... No ‘deplorables’ allowed. YOUR Elites choose who can run for President - and your FBI will conspired against your ‘great unwashed’... Well, ‘secret police’ is more like it. Midnight knocks and all. YOUR hellhole - miles of homeless and drug addicts. All the things YOU support now.

And the rest of us - working class, middle-class, and decent wealthy whites, blacks, Hispanics, Asians etc etc etc... we’ll live in our own country. With the same Constitution but we’ll respect all the Bill of Rights.

Join with us for a rational happy whole country divorce. Peaceful division. Both side get to live in the country of their dreams. YOU get Martha’s Vineyard and all the rich elite trash ... and millions of illegals And us? We don’t have to live with progressive insanity.

It’s people like Capehart that make people treat negroes unequally. The more they pimp racism the more others push back.

Shameful ignorance. The 3/5 thing was a census trick to reduce the political power of the slave states


Exactly, it was a compromise. The slave states wanted slaves counted just like everyone else, the free states thought they shouldn’t be counted at all, just like ‘non-taxed’ Indians.

I understand why the 3/5ths business is a popular rallying cry for blacks, but it is based on ignorance, likely willful ignorance.

Meanwhile, in the real world, the Democratic party was the pro-slavery party. American never segregated the races. The Democratic party segregated the races. With Black-on-Black crime running high and the Black community in desperate need of police protection, it’s the Democratic party that defunds the police (black neighborhoods only).

President Trump brought the Black unemployment down to the lowest level in history. Biden is bringing illegal immigrants in with the predictable result of lowering wages in many of the fields where Blacks are employed.

Article V ping.
"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."

The stupid is thick at MSDNC.

I’ll assume he supports the imprisonment of Trumpsters.

As do a majority of Democrats, according to the latest polls.
