Half of our country including the people whose flag you defend were willing to die to preserve slavery. Mexico banned slavery without a war. No we don’t “deserve” credit for ending slavery 78 years after the Constitution was written.

- and then taking another 100 years to codify equality because too many people encouraged and supported by police/governmental institutions did not behave as if everyone was equal

- AND which, nearly 60 years after that ‘liberty and justice, for all still an effing joke
