the logic you employ can be applied anywhere.

Yes , because the logic im applying is rhetorically sound.




this was written by slave holders...

"I believe in the original context of that phrase and under the intentions(race/class) of the original speaker(s). I dont agree with how you are using the United States Declaration of Independence now."

you see how easy cherry picking right's and who deserves equal protection under the law can lead to an unjust world?


And i agree the founding fathers did not include black people in that phrase. It is intellectually dishonest and rhetorically dubious to try to pigeonhole ourselves into the wording of racists that didnt want us in it. Jefferson's words do not apply to us and it is taken horriblly out of context when you try to force it to do so. Most of those founders would vehemently deny our inclusion in their words and in that country. (Confederation of 13 colonies)



And rather than redifining that phrase its worth noting that the 39th congress in 1866 did exactly what im advocating for here by changing the literal law of the land and creating language in the constitution that directly addresses the equality and freedom of black people in the 14th amendment. It is this document that applies to us and is the source of "equal protection".

It is that 14th amendment that we should be citing when expressing our equality as black people, not the declaration of Independence.

And as an aside, its worth noting that the declaration document is not a legal law and predates the united States and the Constitution.

The declaration of Independence is more of a legacy document, similar to the magna carta in modern Britain. If taken in context, it referred to the new and briefly lived 1776 Confederation of 13 colonies. Which was legally an entirely seperate country with its own laws that was seperate from the current united states under the Constitution of 1789.

Obviously magats hate dei and affirmative action and “woke” but are ok with segregation. Trump and his klan trying to bring back the old overt hardcore white racism.

You think black people catching strays? Bro they hate us too. Lowkey they hate us the most.

If they wanted it to be about LGBTQ only they would have wrote it that way.
This man. This fukking narrative that throwing LGB with emphasis on the T people under the bus to "save ourselves" is a viable strategy is some bizarro world shyt. I feel like cats literally did not pay attention in history/social studies courses because using Queer folk, immigrants, and black people is the model all of those fukkers have used.

Why in 2025 is anyone arguing decoupling is going to be some magical silver bullet to white racism?
One does not have to put on their sword and shield for LGBTQ people at every turn but you can't be diet-white supremacist and expect Black people to come ahead from doing so. @CopiousX man you've lost the plot.
