When is he not “talking primarily about racial issues”?
Oh, when he’s blaming Bush, that’s right.

Bush and othres talked about the errors in the constitution too. You can continue to down ding me for posting facts, but the document was not perfect as written, thus the founders allowed amendments.

* In July 8, 2003, remarks made at Goree Island in Senegal, Bush said that the “moral vision” of abolitionists “caused Americans to examine our hearts, to correct our Constitution, and to teach our children the dignity and equality of every person of every race.” He added: “The racial bigotry fed by slavery did not end with slavery or with segregation. And many of the issues that still trouble America have roots in the bitter experience of other times.”

Additionally, in an August 5, 2006, interview with C-SPAN’s Brian Lamb, Chief Justice John Roberts said of the authors of the Constitution: “They never worked out what to do about slavery and just kind of shuttled that aside and decided we’re not going to talk about that. And that taint in the Constitution, took a Civil War to remove.” Later in the interview, he said that the Constitution’s amendment process “did allow some fundamental flaws to be addressed like slavery — abolished in the Thirteenth Amendment.”
Flawed ?..
