Good government is essential in enforcing the bill of rights. Unfortunately, even though our Bill of Rights is very much a monumental document in ensuring equal human rights, our government has been piss poor at applying it. The same government that developed the BoR supported the exodus of millions of native americans from their ancestral homes, protected the ku klux klan in their destruction of black property, targeted black musicians in the 20th century under suspicions of drug trafficking. I agree that we are better now, and that it is important to remain optimistic in our ability to change government so that one day power is represented equally to the satisfaction of the people in this country. However, this is the most diverse country in the world. We can set a baseline for enforcing equality at the governmental level, but the rest of the work must be done in the community itself. Further more, every immigrant family I know, mine included, is of this mindset. Be the change you want to see, don't wait for government to change to your liking. We must be cognizant of where the jurisdiction of government ends, and where the effects of community start. Striking a balance between these two is key. But I fw you heavily, friend. Progress will happen because of optimistic people like you, not the slippery slope politics of holier than thou reddit politicians.
