THE DONALD’S LATEST OUTRAGE

Everyone is horrified by the Donald’s latest outrage, and rightly so. However, please let’s not get into any pie-in-the- sky talk about how the Donald violates the very spirit and values on which this country was founded. Let’s not forget that the Declaration of Independence describes the First Nations people as “the merciless Indian Savages, whose known rule of warfare, is an undistinguished destruction of all ages, sexes and conditions.” Let’s not forget that the U.S. Constitution declares that Black people are three-fifths human.

Donald’s call for blocking all Muslims from entering the nation is, indeed, unspeakably unprincipled. The Donald is horribly out of touch with the values that we have come to identify as American, but he is not that much out of touch with those who deemed Blacks to be three-fifths human.
