So, who are "we the people"?

Who decides? DJT? RBG?

White male supremacy is a bipartisan value.
Women and African-Americans will never be truly included in "We the People" until we deal with the racism and sexism in our founding and the dehumanizing precedent for land title.

They certainly did not mean the First Peoples, or women, or slaves.

All three were treated as property, or as obstacles to be eliminated.
