The only “flaw” in the Constitution was not freeing the slaves (although it wouldn’t have been ratified under those circumstances). Ironically, had that happened, far fewer Black People would have been brought to the US as slaves, and most of the “African-Americans” who run around cursing this country, would simply be “Africans”, without the hyphen. Then they could wear Dashikis for real, and not just for dress up. They would also be able to enjoy the liberty and vibrant economy of the African continent. You know, like Obama’s brother.

But I listened to the interview where this comment comes from. He's saying that racism against blacks was THE fundamental flaw of our nation, and I absolutely agree.
I wish we'd never had slaves. No slaves, no civil war. No civil war, no loss of states rights. No Jim Crow, no loss of states rights, no civil rights movement needed. No civil rights movement, no achilles heel for leftists to exploit and gain the moral high ground. The commies have been exploiting this weakness all the way back to the Scottsboro boys.
Hell, no slavery, probably we'd never have had the great society, welfare, inner city gangs, debasement of culture. Slavery and racism against blacks absolutely was our fundamental birth defect, and it definitely haunts us to this day. Look at Katrina. No slavery, no 9th ward.
I think the analysts in that interview got some things wrong though. They saw the 3/4ths compromise as a concession to the slavers. I see it as holding the line against the slavers. They believed they had to get a Constitution, and preserve the Union, and deal with the rest later. I think they were right. And of course Obama seeks to further exploit this birth defect of ours. But I can't say he is incorrect in this statement. The other statements he made are worthy of scorn. This one does nothing for me.
