I mean, it sort of was. One of the reasons Douglass was such a badass is because instead of trying to tear it down (like current efforts) he insisted that he and his kind were already included.
This is an incredibly myopic view that has been popularized into fashion by academia and the dimwitted masses that are happy to regurgitate out of a sense of self aggrandizement and faux intellectualism.

quote:How is it myopic? How could anyone think it was even vaguely obscure that the founding was pretty steeped in white supremacy? But how cares? Frederick Douglass argued that the architecture of the republic was strong enough to move past that. He might not have thought that had he been alive in, say, 1935. But 2021 is not 1935.

I am arguing that, yes, we were founded in white supremacy. But, no, that is not overly relevant today. Maybe some vestigial effects, but it's silly to be invoking it now - particularly against ourselves when we are at world negotiating bodies like the UN dealing with bad actors like China.
Seriously, where do you and I disagree here?
