So if the country was founded on racism and inequality, you'd support that we kept those qualities for all time?

That's a personal opinion, but the point still remains that nations move on from what they were founded on, they do and should.

Whether they should "move on" is subject to debate but the result of the United States moving away from the principles set forth in the Constitution has been disastrous.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.
"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.
"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."
The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.
"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
