They read it aloud on the floor of The House today. Almost in it's entirety. I think that's a good thing.
We still have a ways to go, though.
To wit:
"Rep. Jesse Jackson, D-Ill., spoke for African-Americans, women and others not enfranchised in the original draft and warned against historical revisionism. It was not right, he said, to redact despised sections such as the three-fifths clause because "many of us don't want that to be lost upon the reading of our sacred document.""
"It was not right to redact...."
Yet, they want to remove the word "nigger" from Mark Twain's Huckelberry Finn. Revisionism is revisionism, plain and simple. You can't have it both ways, folks. Obviously the Brother from Chicago sees it differently than I do. Perhaps he just wasn't thinking? Many of us want to read Mark Twain the way Mark Twain wrote.
Do you think Jesse is really representing all of the people in his district? Ya gotta wonder....
To share a quote.... "As long as any individual or group can expect to gain advantage by screaming "racism", racism will continue to exist." ~~Paul Buchanan
Or, how 'bout this one....
"How wonderful for governments that the people they administer do not think" ~~Adolph Hitler
Hmmmmmmm.......
It's a strange, strange world we live in, Master Jack....
Stay safe.

Some good points made here.
Revisionism does work both ways. Good call.
All the injured parties will not heal for healing would remove their basis of power and like a hypochondriac, they cough and spit and beg for help, drawing from the rest of society the health that it once had.
Well stated, Mr. Davis.
