National Archives 'Racism Task Force' Wants to Re-Label our Founding Documents

A “racism task force” charged with updating the National Archives — home of the nation’s founding documents — reportedly blasted the term used to characterize the Constitution, Declaration of Independence, and the Bill of Rights, “Charters of Freedom,” because the documents did not immediately guarantee freedom for everyone.
quote:
The same National Archives’ task force also blasted the building’s Rotunda, which they called an example of “structural racism” because of its frescoes depicting America’s founding and because the narrative of the Founding Father’s efforts was “too positive.” The group suggested “major changes” to the Rotunda’s displays so that visitors could view the nation’s founding documents “in context.”
The documents themselves, the group suggested, should have “trigger warnings” for individuals who might suffer from “physiological and psychological symptoms” after viewing the Declaration of Independence, Constitution, and Bill of Rights.

The context is I think my lucky stars every day our Founding Fathers existed and sacrificed it all so I could live here. I really contemplate this and mostly I feel like I am able to do what I want with the proper discipline and planning and effort. And that's exactly what they intended. God Bless those Patriots.

Actually they did.
Those were the documents invoked by Frederick Douglass, Susan B. Anthony, and Martin Luther King.

I am increasingly convinced that our only paths forward are war or capitulation with these people. They are our enemies far more than the Taliban, Russians, or Chinese. None of them are ripping our statues out of the ground.

First step towards destroying the documents altogether.
