Back then, America was a segregated nation, too.

So What?! Segregation isn't written into the historical documents of our nation. Christianity is.

3/5ths clause

Christianity is.

Show me where the words "Christ," "Christian," or "Christianity" appear in our Constitution

(or, by "historical documents," are you including informal correspondence between the framers? Some of the most important framers weren't even Christians, which might be why our Republic has survived for so long)

I'm not quite sure why the poster you responded to mentioned segregation to prove a point. However, I'm not one to take such a cavalier attitude towards the history of segregation, either.

It was flat out hypocritical and wrong, but thanks be to God that it changed.
