That's the Declaration of Independence. If you look at the beginning of the Constitution, you'll see "Representatives and direct Taxes shall be apportioned among the several States which may be included within this Union, according to their respective Numbers, which shall be determined by adding to the whole Number of free Persons, including those bound to Service for a Term of Years, and excluding Indians not taxed, three fifths of all other Persons."
Pretending America's founders were consistent and genuine in declaring "all men are created equal" is cringeworthy, disrespectful, and woefully out of line.
