USA - all men are created equal ?

[Anonymous]

I'm really struggling with this. The concept that all men are created equal is one of the cornerstones of our country yet so many voted against it. You didn't vote for economic or foreign policy, you didn't vote for deficit reduction or spending - you voted down racial and gender lines. You voted to either embrace or reject the most racist, hate filled, white nationalist platform seen in modern political times. In the end the majority of the electoral college voted against everything you were taught the country stood for and embraced the conflicting cultural biasses you were raised in.

When you're used to privilege equality looks like oppression.

(Not my original line, but I don't remember where I heard it.)

They didn't vote against that concept. They elected the man -- nothing says that all women are created equal.

OP, truly I don't get this. I am a Trump supporter who, first of all, did vote for him on economics (taxes) and because he represents an end to current corruption but why do you think I was voting against the concept of "all men (people) being created equal." What am I missing?

He grabs women by the vaginas without their consent and thinks that Muslims don't deserve to be Americans.

No. He thinks that people coming from Muslim countries need to be vetted thoroughly before coming here. What problem do you have with that?

Because that is racism by definition. Do you think all black men in the United States should be stopped and frisked whenever police want because a disproportionate amount of crime happens to be committed by black men?

I find the support for the two candidates along gender lines disturbing. Why did so many more women than men support Hillary? Sexism is the only answer.

But why is this surprising? We are a sexist nation, mostly run by men.

uhh - this was founded as a slave country. so no, it isn't a 'corner stone' concept.

it's a very new concept in the history of the country (civil rights is relative recent).

I don't know. Women just seem to have a problem with guys who grab their vaginas. It's such an overreaction, they are total drama queens. Men don't have vaginas so that issue doesn't really effect them.

The operative word is "men," OP.

Also to clarify, his initial position was that he wanted to bar all Muslims from entering the country, INCLUDING citizens and service members who leave and attempt to reenter. He drew back from that when he got under pressure but THAT was his original position. Which is most certainly not about equality for citizens and is definitely racist.

Women are their own worst enemy. Happiness in the workplace as well.

It's not "racism," just because you say it is!!! They are coming from countries that produce the bulk of the world's terrorists. They are affiliated with a religion that is spreading murder around the world. We don't know these people. We don't know who they are and what their intentions are when they get here. We need to find out before we say... hey, come on in.
