Bullshit. I agree that we have dealt with racism. We fought a war to end slavery. We passed three Constitutional Amendments to give ex slaves and their descendants equal citizenship rights. What else can we do fo you?
Actually start abiding by the Amendments you passed, instead of using states' laws to undermine the Constitutional Amendments at every turn.
Closing polling stations in minority neighbourhoods, clearing names off election rolls without notice, redlining, gerrymandering. The list is endless.
Your Constitution is not working well and probably never really has. You've already had on Civil War over "states' rights", and you're on the verge of another one. Your Founders were creating a small coastal agrarian country with 3.5 million people living in it. Because life in New England was much different than life in the Southern states, and people were born, grew up and died within a 50 mile radius, by and large, states were giving broad powers for running their own areas of the country based on the region's climate, and social structure, with northern states not participating in slavery.
In part, I think it's because the Founders never lived up to the document they wrote. The principle that "all men are created equal with certain inalienable rights" is very high minded and a great principle, but in fact the Founders failed to live up to their words when slavery was the very foundation of Southern wealth and prosperity.
You Constitution is not working well for a nation that spans the continent, and is home to more that 330 million people, and the world's largest military industrial complex. Small government is neither practical, nor functional, and states rights' can't be used to undermine basic Constitutional rights like the right to medical privacy, or the right to vote. Women are still not equal, under your Constitution, and that's just wrong.
Canada rewrote our Constitution in the 1970's, and brought it into the 20th Century. It improved the effectiveness and the efficiency of our government, and redefined the federal/provincial relationship in ways that were beneficial to both.
I don't expect Americans to do the same. You don't seem to be that smart, which makes me sad. Americans were much smarter when I was growing up, than they are now. The crazies have taken over.
