Not in the Constitution.
I thought she made the best comment of the night:
"We know what you're all thinking. Why should you care about what some television celebrity has to say about politics?"
To which America Ferrera replies, "We feel the same way".
Nuff said.

"If at first you don't succeed, keep on sucking till you do suck seed" - Curly Howard 1936
Of couse the imbecile Scott Baio. Just another reason conventions are drivel. Its prime time TV for christs sake! Women including Mwryl Streep can say whatever they want. Men have used, exploited and (mis)treated them for millenia. Things are better now but still have a good ways to go.

when he watched "The Karate Kid" he thought it was himself playing the leading role.

I have not read any of the related news articles but Streep is probably wrong in characterizing things this way (as might be expected). Because, blacks, Indians, women, etc.., were indeed thought of as being "Men" (in other words, belonging to the species of "Man" or "Mankind").The confusion creeps in if/when we forget that the belief was that there were at least two basic types existing within the genre called "mankind". On the one hand we had the educated and/or redeemed, on the other hand we had the ignorant and/or unredeemed. Both types (regardless of sex) were thought of as being part of "mankind", but only the former type was considered suitable to LEAD the way in business and government. The latter type were not considered to be fully formed and/or responsible "men" or members of mankind.
So we see that, when it comes right down to it, the businessmen and politicians of yesteryear and today think very much alike.

The phrase "all men are created equal" does not appear in the Constitution. It appears in the Declaration of Independence.

Can't be rewritten, but basically the 14th amendment takes care of most of that. Many do not realize that Black Men got the Right to vote before Women, and we were not the first in giving the right to vote to Women.
the Constitution and BOR are not perfect, but really, you do not want this crop of criminals to have any say over changes to it.
Also realize something (and do not start this tinfoil hat shit, I KNOW WTF I am talking about) the Constitution is null and void anyway. Look up Admiralty Maritime Jurisdiction. It is not quite martial law but somewhat close. This is how the government gets away with alot of unconstitutional shit. Like pot laws. They have no right to tell me I can't smoke somethig that grows in the ground.
Want some proof ? Here it is - prohibition. It was a Constitutional amendment because they knew it would not withstand the court challenges if they had simply legislated it and got the President to sign it. That is the reason it was an amendment.
When they rule in your favor, rather than the government, they do so to hide the fact that the Constitution is null and void. They want you to keep your illusion of "freedom", which is actually impossible in practice. Freedom is when you live out on the woods ad hunt and fish ad grow your own food and never see those damn city slickers.
If you ever have to fight the government, take your evidence that you got from the Constitution down to the county recorder and file it officially as a court document for that case. Just presenting the evidence in court is no good because the judge can disallow it and have it stricken from the record. When it is recorded with the county he really can't do that, he can but it opens up the possibility of him getting overturned by a higher court and that is an anathema for a judge. It is like being a truck driver and getting into an at fault wreck that kills people. It is really really bad for their career.
I know what the fuck I am talking about, and if certain circumstances exist, you don't have to pay income taxes either. The tinfoil hat actually does work. (that is figurative of course, they are aluminum foil now, tin is too expensive LOL)
Anyway, the Constitution did exclude those less than 3/5ths White. That is how it was. It was amended. What more do you want ? It also excluded Women and that was taken care of by an amendment, what more do you want ? You want to rewrite the whole thing ? Do you really want these corporate bought goniffs to rewrite it, remove your freedom of speech, take your guns, all that ? You trust them that much when you MUST know that all legislation is bought and paid for by big business. That is stupid. I don't want them touching those documents. And neither should you. We simply cannot trust them. You know they lie every day. Fuck all that.
You're just a pawn ... frettin' over those useless documents that you admit are "null and void anyway"!
Fighting for a token of some bygone time (that never was)?
Or maybe the fighting is just token too, smoke and mirrors?

The Constitution was the BEST document they could AGREE on at the time. Many of the 'founders' WERE slave holders. Jefferson, in particular, had children by his 'favorite' Sally Hemings. The adult surviving children were emancipated BY Jefferson sometime later.
To criticize the Constitution on the basis of 220+ years of Hindsite is simply nutty. Slavery was an issue even BEFORE the States ratified the Constitution. Don't forget, either, that New York and Rhode Island were among the LAST to ratify. In the case of Rhode Island, it was AFTER George Washington began his first term as President. And they were northern states, not dependent on Slavery for economic independence.
Things got off to a Rockey start. Hamilton (10$ bill) was the defacto leader of the Federalists while Jefferson tossed in with the Republicans (no relation to TODAYs version)
Hamilton set the framework and put the machine in motion. Not even Jefferson, who was elected in his OWN RIGHT as President in 1800 was not able to do much as a start-over, but DID let 3 of the 4 acts of Congress known as the Alien and Sedition Acts lapse. One of the 4 is STILL with us today.
Hamilton, as FIRST Treasury Secretary had IMMENSE sway with Washington, for whom he was basically Chief Of Staff for during the Revvolution. Hamilton wrote and got passed some legislation the effects of which we continue to feel today. A 'loose' interpretation of the Constituion allowing all sorts of laws to be passed without regard to what are now the Fully Ignored 9th and 10th Amendments.
Party Politics started us down hill. Corporate PERSONHOOD might be the LAST nail in the coffin. I'll believe in honest Government when Congressmen and Senators wear NASCAR style overalls with Sponsership CLEARLY declared.
Too much is never enough
"Jefferson, in particular, had children by his 'favorite' Sally Hemings."
Jefferson must've been one heck of an open-minded dude. Possibly the first interracial couple in the U.S.
:)
I wish I could find the exact quote, but it would appear from various readings that many slave owners had children by and with their chattels. Jefferson not only wasn't the first, he wasn't even particularly Original.
Hamilton, who had an affair in the 1790s and was beaten in the press on a regular basis forever after, did NOT wish the same treatment on Jefferson, who if anything was even MORE vulnerable.
Hamilton actively did NOT wish for Burr to be the next President.
Some slave owners really split the issue. They would own slaves but not profit by the sale and transfer of them. I don't know how that worked in practice.
Of course, we are taught today that the Civil War was fought to 'free the slaves', but it was really about states rights and IF a state, once having joined the Union, could voluntarily WITHDRAW from said union. Lincoln said No Way.

Or she just used that thought to serve her own purposes.
The preamble to the Constitution refers to The People.
We is all people. We were all created equal. Are we all TREATED equal? Not historically as of today.
"We, The People of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of American."
"Once this was all Black Plasma and Imagination" -Michael McClure
And not a very good one.
Whenever she plays a role, I always think "it's Meryl Streep playing a role" - not believable. Ditto for Barbra Streisand. She should've stuck with singing.

hyperbole; when originally written, we all know the founding fathers meant all white men; it excluded Native Americans, Asians, slaves and yes women.Today 'man' is meant to mean 'mankind' but the above sentence nullifies such.
Obviously we've come a long way, and although the words remain the same, the meaning has shifted a great deal.
