America was founded on the promise of freedom and equal rights for all.
In reality, this has always been unevenly applied. Freedom is a constant battle, and everyone’s rights are FAR from equal.
The most American thing we can do is to keep pushing hard for freedom, liberty, and truly equal rights for EVERYONE.
As far as I can tell from our history, it was founded by British oligarchs living in a colony pissed about taxes. It enshrined the rights of these white, male, slaveholders and left everyone else out.
After the war was decided, they stole the rest of the continent through genocide.
The same class of people are now rolling back the few rights we were able to wrest from them after WWII because people sat on their asses thinking it was all decided.
It's never over.
