American History

...famous remark about the sun on the back of George Washington's chair.

Franklin said - I paraphrase - "All during these deliberations, I have been trying to decide if the sun on the back of the chair was setting or rising, and I have decided it was rising..."

Franklin was not thrilled with the Constitution because it accepted human slavery, but he thought it was the best that could be done.

Obviously the flaw was very real, and the racism inherent nearly tore the country in two, four score and seven years later.

The effect of racism never died, and that flaw in the Constitution, aided by a politicized supreme Court as racist and as immoral to that of "Justice" Taney, the worst Supreme Court Chief until John Roberts came along to completely tear up the Constitution, has now assured, 250 years after the revolution, that the sun is at last setting.

It makes me want to weep again.
