Trump and his ilk are certainly working to make this no longer a just and civilized society.This is true – or false – depending on the context.According to the bible, Adam and Eve ate the forbidden fruit. Because they did so penalties were assessed. Painful childbirth, men having to work the land to get food, and death were just 3 of them The penalties did not end when Adam and Eve died. We still face these penalties today even as none of us were there and none of us ate the fruit. This is an example of how weak the white racist arguments are today. God has held ALL OF MANKIND responsible forever for what Adam and Eve did. We don't get to make excuses with God about what we did not do and how unfair it is to us being blamed for Adam and Eve. But for some reason whites who are racists seem to believe they are above Gods ruie of law. But you aren't. You are responsible for the sins of your fathers jus as we all are responsible for the sins of Adan and Eve.
It might be ‘true’ in a religious/moral context – but it’s a subjective ‘truth’ and otherwise irrelevant.
It’s of course false as a matter of law and public policy.
American Constitutional jurisprudence has long maintained that children are not to be held responsible for the misdeeds of a parent or parents.
This is why children born in the United States are citizens regardless of their parents’ immigration status, why undocumented children are entitled to public education and healthcare regardless their immigration status, and why children born out of wedlock cannot be denied the benefits of a father who wasn’t married to his mother.
America is a just and civilized society because it rejects the doctrine of ‘the sins of the father.’
I agree with you on many things but this is far from a just and civilized society. And the constitution is irrelevant because Gods laws supersede those in the constitution. Gods laws do not deny any of the things you mention in your last paragraph.
And the Constitution is in fact relevant, the First Amendment safeguards the people from nonsense such as "god's law" and "sins of the father."
The US constitution doesn't apply to other nations. Nor do we avoid death as was promised us because of what happened in the garden because of that constitution. This nation was unjust and unfair in many ways long before Donald Trump. We as non whites still suffer from the sins of the fathers which was taught to their children who still commit the same sins.
