"She compares the "current-day veneration of the Second Amendment" to "holding the three-fifths clause sacrosanct," arguing that both were "designed to deny African Americans humanity and rights while carrying the aura of constitutional legitimacy."
Another dingbat that assumes the South oppressed the slaves by treating them as "three-fifths of a human" instead of a full human being. Except that the North didn't want them counted as human beings, they didn't want them counted at all, meaning zero. Oh yeah, changes the narrative a bit.
The slave states wanted the slaves counted as if they were free people.
The free states refused until or unless the slaves were treated as if they were free people.
And THAT is where the 3/5 compromise came from.
The refusal to count slaves as if they were free came from the North.

Then voting should also be banned... it is rooted in not allowing blacks or women to vote. Ban voting! Oh, wait... thats what they want.
