No women or minorities had any input in our Constitution's conception or development. Should an America where women, descendants of former slaves, and people from cultures all over the world have equal agency remain beholden to words written by white men from a bygone age where those people's voices were not heard or respected?
There are Amendments that changed many things for people in our country.
234 years ago, our ancestors established the US. Eleven years later, the constitution was written to put some kind of basic rights in for our countries citizens.

What a ridiculous, ridiculous question.
An attempt to arrest our country, the greatest democracy on earth on the missteps of our fathers.
Mind you, our country is not perfect but it is a far better place than any other land mass on this planet
to plant your feet. Kiss the ground you fool and thank the Lord. God Bless America.
Just shows you how wise those folks were. Can you imagine if the radical kooks of today were to be the framers of the Constitution ? The United States wouldn't even be a 5th world country. And in fact, the world wouldn't be what it is today. And as for the second sentence of your quote, you/they ought to be damn glad that it was those 'white men' that wrote it.
I have witnessed over my time on this planet that folks of any color that protected family values, faithful by religion and hard working are success stories today. They emulated our founding fathers, as bad as many wish to portray them. Today it is a broken family,no religion, unwillingness to work and attempting to change the American way of Life that leads the forefront. When the crap hits the fan it will all go back to basics or we as a great Republic
will flounder and eventually drown in our own stupidity.
Well I will say this thread was inspired by the thread about SF spending $600,000 to paint over a mural of George Washington, because he was a slave owner.How far does that logic go? How would someone who supports painting over the mural vote in this this poll? Are our founding fathers persona non grata at this point?
The mural was about Washington standing over the body of a dead Indian and not because he was a slave owner. It offended some people but hey that is what community standards are for right?
As for the US Constitution it has mechanisms to alter it by Amendments which makes perfect sense.
It is a ever evolving document.
So far the poll is 71-4 in favor of keeping our Constitution. This poll sure did backfire on the OP.
Most of what the Constitution does is codify the protection of some of our Natural Rights as human beings. That's all. It doesn't grant us rights, and government doesn't grant us rights.
The Democrats view the Constitution as an obstacle for all their Social Engineering schemes which are not intended to "fix" things but just give more power to them and more power to government to control the populace.
The Constitution also doesn’t mention God, Jesus, Bible, Christian nation, or anything like that yet Republicans insist that we should all be forced to adhere to a narrow fundamentalist Christian moral code. The First Amendment is nothing but an obstacle for conservatives, preventing them from creating their own Christian Saudi Arabia in the USA.
