The Nation’s justice correspondent Elie Mystal said Friday on ABC’s “The View” that the United States Constitution is “trash” written by slave-owning white people.
Discussing his new book “Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution,” Mystal said, “Republicans are obviously trying to manipulate those laws, particularly the rights of minorities, women, and the LGBTQ communities, and I explain it in ways we can understand so we can fight them.”
Co-host Ana Navarro said, “I live in Florida, so I’m, like, on ground zero of where all of this is happening. I’m out of my mind about the bills banning conversations about race and ethnicity and LGBTQ, just even mentioning gender identity in primary schools…Are you arguing for throwing out the Constitution? Should the Constitution be thrown out? What do we do? Is it a living document, or is it a sacred document?”
Mystal said, “It’s certainly not sacred. Let’s start there. The Constitution is kind of trash. Again, let’s just talk as adults for a second.”
Co-host Joy Behar said, “What did you say?”
Mystal said, “It’s kind of trash. It was written by slavers and colonists and white people willing to make deals with slavers and colonists. They didn’t ask anybody who looked like me what they thought about the Constitution.”
He added, “This document was without the consent of black and brown people in this country and without the consent of women. I say if that was the starting point, the very least we can do is ignore what those slavers and colonists and misogynists thought and interpret the Constitution in a way that makes sense for our modern world.”

Picture of a perfect role model if I were a Poodle.
Dear Ellie:
Then leave, motherf*cker.
We don’t need you.
Poodles have value.
This piece of gorilla garbage… not so much.
Let me guess....Harvard?
if the U.S. sucks to this, why isn’t this guy going to someplace that doesn’t?
A friggin’ Clown like Jo Jo. Elie needs to take his goatsmellin’, crybaby ass back to wherever he came from. No one is forcing him to stay here in America. GTFO Lardass!!! I’ll bet the porker hasn’t worked a day in his life.
This is the enemy, not Putin.
There’s a lot of African constitutions written by all black people...
“I, AB, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; that I take this obligation freely, without any mental reservation or purpose of evasion. So help me God.”
Elie, you are a domestic enemy.
Exactly. Maybe they can fit you with a new g-string and bone in the nose. Watch out for the Muslim killers and Ebola!
Does anyone else’s gaydar go off looking at this picture? “Portrait of An Ungrateful Fat Moron”.
To this punk, I say: “Get out of my country you angry and hateful traitor. YOU are the trash. Get lost. Go to Africa where I am sure you will find a perfect country for your future life.”
the ass is welcome to leave the country at any time.
just drop off that pesky US citizenship on your way out
Cha cha Chia. Chia Pet!
It’s funny you should say, “...starved individual that has to use his mouth to get what he needs.”
OBVIOUSLY, his mouth isn’t just on SPEW, vomiting hate, venom, and nonsense, it spends most of its time on INTAKE!... GORGING!
Keep the Faith.
Our Constitution is beautiful...it is poetry in a way.
It is NOT for people who are still wearing masks.
We now have a definite way of separating the strong from the stupid.
Unless the masks are worn to hide big noses and rotten teeth.
It’s OK to wear a mask in those cases.
Actually, Anna Banana, that bill does nothing of the sort. It doesn’t even ban LGBT discussions throughout primary school; just in the first three grades.
Bless their hearts.
And that, my friend, is why the document prohibited importation of slaves after 1798 and deprived slave-owning states of greater political clout in the House with the 2/3-person rule. Because the document was pro-slavery. /sarc
