I don't know why people are so incapable of seeing that the fact that the men who wrote "we hold these truths to be self evident" owned slaves and went on to create a state that protected slave ownership. Clearly they did not mean what they wrote at all. You will always fail if you try to extend protections meant only for property-owning men to all humans, because those protections literally depend on the subjugation of others. There's no patch that can fix that. It needs to be thrown in the dumpster and then nuked from orbit.
