The Nation’s justice correspondent Elie Mystal said Friday on the”We’ve Got Issues” podcast that the United States Constitution is “trash” written by the “captains of the slaving industry.”Discussing Mystal’s new book “Allow Me to Retort: A Black Guy’s Guide to the Constitution,” host Joshua Holland said, “You write that the Constitution is a document designed to create a society of enduring white male dominance. You criticized it for being hastily edited.
While laughing, Mystal said, “Josh man, I’ve honestly been a little surprised that that statement has been so controversial.” He continued, “Let’s just talk as adults for a second. We are talking about a document that was written by slavers just straight up. The largest slave owner at the time of the Revolution was George Washington. So not your average everyday neighborhood slavers. We are talking about the captains of the slaving industry, you are talking about colonists, and you are talking about some rich white men who were abolitionists but were willing to make deals with slavers and colonists.
Mystal added, “So the idea that this literal 18th Century slave document represents the best we can do as a society is laughable to me. Of course, it is a bad look at the source. How can it be anything other than kind of jacked? The Constitution has some great ideas. It has some great ideals it is pointing towards. But the problem is there has not been a day.
He concluded, “One way you know the Constitution was kinda trash is the way it required a civil war less than a hundred years after it was adopted to solve some constitutional issues.”
Nobody with a sentient mind listens to Mystal. Nobody.
BB never passes up an opportunity to tear down a black fellow American who is in the news ...
And he could not be saying such an attack on his government in almost any other country on the planet without being arrested, charged with treason and imprisoned or shot. Give him a one way ticket to Zimbabwe or Kenya where he would be more at home.
This dude has serious issues, but the depravity in Marxist communist New York would do that to you
From the guy who makes millions on TV in the very country created by that Constitution, please tell me more
Go have another burger!
Is that Eddie Murphy in disguise?
marklevinshow wrote a whole book dedicated to unfucking the Constitution.
Got a few questions for Mystal - where did you get those nice eyeglasses, the tie, the shirt, the suit, your education, your ability to move around freely, your ability to vote, and your ability to trash the country? You got ALL that in AMERICA, baby! The GOAT country!
How dumb can one get ? It applies now as it did when originally ally created. It's a great document based on freedom for all Americans.
49 of the 64 Founding Fathers enslaved people. Jefferson blamed King George for slavery in the orginal Declaration of Independence. 1000s of Black Patriots helped defeat the British. Most whites opposed slavery. Most Black Americans were denied Voting Rights until 1960s.
ElieNYC is just a poor example of a black American. The founding of this nation was built on the word of God. Only those who wish to degrade our foundation are following another entity, the Devil!
And why did she keep calling it a scheme
😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
He’s not wrong.
you're welcome to leave for a country that does not have a 'trash' constitution
Wait until you find out what amendments are.
Even the founding fathers thought the constitution should be re-written every 20 years.
Leftists- NOT the brightest bulbs on the strand.
Your content is even worse than FoxNews if that is even possible.
