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.

@marcoarment This is called retconning reality to avoid looking at systemic oppression, there is no promise of equality in the American colonial settlement. To actually achieve equality between all people it would require undoing the foundational institutions of the US. It would bear no resemblance to the historical US, and so this kind of liberal patriotism is insultingly naive at best and protective of empire at worst.
