“the Declaration of Independence proclaims that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, including the right to Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”

It was a fraudulent statement at the time and we’re still paying the price for the founder’s failure to include the black man as “all men”.

It’s not a fraudulent statement, but we have paid and are paying a great price for the original failure to apply it to all men.

There's no asterisk in the Declaration. "All men" means "all men."

Beyond that, your post is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen on this site. You have called the cornerstone of American liberty a fraud.

We paid in blood in the worst war the world had seen at the time.

And we also came around to include women.

Unfortunately, we are now at a stage in the republic ("If you can keep it") that not all men or women are created equal yet again. Hate crimes laws make some animals more equal than others.
