Last week, the Supreme Court eviscerated a woman’s right to abortion, undermined Miranda rights, expanded gun rights and allowed border patrol agents to operate with even further impunity. Today, it ruled that a former Washington state high school football coach can pray on the field immediately after games—regardless of the religious backgrounds of the students.

If they don’t like it, there is a process to modify it...
...or leave. In her case, go back to Africa.

If they don’t like it, they should leave. Just go. Maybe it’s not for you.

I knew it. She’s a moron. Just another affirmative action token wandering around lost on the “white supremacist” democrats’ plantation.

it is unfair to judge the past with today’s morality and social acumen... just as those in the past had done to those they thought were of lower status.
judging the enslaved through the tainted scope of superiority as those who they enslaved as less than human, today’s moral judgement unfairly pictures those people in the past as evil and inhumane, when they were just living as life was shown to be.
placing a moral equiveillance on past practices is just as bad as what was practiced in the past; and it would have continued without the foresight of those sought change, not by condemning those in the past, but seeing what the future could be.

Well, Candace, having “white privilege” means I get to play the knock-out game with you.

Alexander Hamilton didn’t own slaves. Neither did John Adams. James Madison and Jefferson did though. The federalist papers are not about slavery they are about forming an effective and long lasting government not susceptible to tyrannical leaders.

The word “literally” is a reliable signal you’re dealing with an imbecile.
To: artichokegrower
Do these morons understand the basics of the Constitution, why and how it was written? My ancestors fled to America in 1720, a treacherous trip over the Atlantic. They were escaping religious tyranny, persecution, torture and death with no means of protecting themselves. Their children and grandchildren became patriots in the American Revolution, who vowed to never be at the mercy of a tyrannical rule again. They were poor farmers who NEVER OWNED SLAVES, they were the slaves to their beliefs and they WON. NOW, patriots are being persecuted again, and losing.

Just think. If it wasn’t for those pesky “slaveowners”, Candy would be living in a grass hut, wearing a grass skirt and no shirt while posing for National Geographic. THINK ABOUT IT.

the Constitution was written to be the standard for a non-tyrannical limited government. Just because it was not perfect at the beginning is not a rational reason for rejecting it now. It has been and still can be changed if enough people want it.

Yep. Compare the character of any of our founders to today's wokesters. Let's pick on Alexander Hamilton because he admitted to banging somebody else's wife albeit with the husband's blessing.
Alexander was more obsessed with preserving his reputation for honestly managing public funds than letting that scandalous cat out of the bag. Today's wokesters don't even TRY to manage public funds honestly. They view skimming or even gross mismanagement as an entitlement!

Hey Candace! You need to QUIT APPROPRIATING WHITE CULTURE. No more cars, refrigerators, electricity, computers, manufactured goods of any kind (including clothing), medicine, large-scale agriculture, food preservation, railroads, ships, airplanes, internet, music, painting, sculpture, literature, the English language, the Roman alphabet, money, banking for you.
Go "back" to Africa, Candace. Live the "Black" way ...

It’s extraordinary, once again, to read something this crazy and devoid of reality and try to fathom that the person who wrote it actually thought it made sense.
