Candace Owens: The US Constitution belongs in a museum

Elite Daily:

Now, before you start at me with the tired, patriotic banter of “our founding fathers” and “America the great,” let’s all take a deep, rational breath and try to see things from a more linear perspective.

The reason the Constitution of the United States is regarded so highly is because the people who wrote it are dead, and they’ve been dead for a very long time.

You’re telling me Americans launched a revolutionary war against the cruel Great Britain because they thought it was within their power to impose taxes on teas, but importing human beings and using them as cattle fell within moral confines?

These are our founding fathers we are talking about — our dead founding fathers — so we should tread lightly when pointing fingers, right?

Wrong.

The founding fathers created a document, which was their very best stab at what the law of the land should look like in a new country.

We have had so much history transpire since the passing of America's "founders." We now have so many of our own experiences (world wars, genocides, hate crimes), our own injustices and incredible feats.

We can now reasonably sit down and shape a document that embodies this maturity; a document that is relevant today.

The document I'm proposing should be one that supports ALL human beings -- black, white, Muhz, Christian, nope, straight, tranzgender -- on our incredible planet and the ways in which we need to positively evolve and affect change.

And, so again, I say, let’s immortalize the Constitution where it belongs: in a museum. Let’s reflect upon it fondly as a beautiful piece of American history that helped shape a young country at time when it needed it most.

Who knows? Maybe at the next 200-year mark, we’ll be looked back upon as the Founding Generation.

Fondly of course, because we’ll all be dead.
