That’s the thing about the Constitution: many of the rules, rights, prohibitions, and concepts are actually pretty decent. The problem is they’ve never been applied to all of the people living here.

Most of our written principles serve only as a mocking illustration that the white people running this place know the right thing to do but simply refuse, out of spite, to do it.
