[QUOTE="wkmac, post: 575835, member: 2189"] Why didn't LBJ and the bunch go back to the very beginning and correct the legal language from the foundation that placed these folks into such a political, social and economic dis-advantage. If "all men" are created equal and have unalienable rights, then let's say so and put that belief in stone! But then, if any individual (or racial group if you will) has rights (unalienable) beyond any other man or his created entities, how then can a politicial entity or any other man created entity or group use, twist, manipulate or otherwise for their own self serving purposes then use so-called rights for their own ends? If an individual man can't enslave a person to pick his cotton, or a group of men from one racial group can't enslave another man or group of men from a racial group to pick cotton, then how can those same men who have no right in themselves to do so, by magic of political manipulation have the power to enter a voting booth and via the alchemy of democracy vote as a group to ordain one man or another group of men to then turn around and in effect make another man or group of men pick cotton for them that would via wealth transfer be made to benefit those that voted in the plantation masters? BTW UPS: Read the last paragraph in the post to which you responded too which starts with the words "He should have". IMO I don't think I could be any clearer in what LBJ should have done. [/QUOTE]
