He ' s allowed to say it gets thrown around . I ' m not backpedaling , you can go ahead and stop pretending I said this is treason as defined by the constitution . I ' m sorry you think I ' m backpedaling , but I am not . I would be backpedaling if I said This is textbook treason per the constitution , but I did not . I believe they are intentionally damaging the country to further their own political agenda , and to me that is treasonous . Jesus , the amendments ARE PART OF THE CONSTITUTION . They are not separate entities . Implying that it currently values black people as anything lesser than whole is either disingenuous or ignorant . please reread my comment . Heck , I ' ll quote it for you . The constitution as it was written also values black people as 35 ths of a person , do you agree with it or the dictionary ? I literally said as it was written , and did not in any way shape or form suggest it currently does .
