Author raises some interesting points, even tho she seems all over the place.

"Rights" have never been simple things in the USA. Many groups have had to fight for them - native people, POC, women, immigrants etc. Difficult battles all challenging the status quo. Even when you "win" the battles, the wars never seem to end. Take the current GOP war on women as an example. Shouldnt have to be fighting that history all over again but we are.

Societies are weird human creations. Would be nice if all peoples (persons) were celebrated for merely being a people (person) and equal rights afforded to all on this basis. But, it doesnt work this way for a multitude of reasons.

Hopefully, we are evolving into something better. Process is kind of sucky tho because it depends on politicians whose motives are seldom pure and clear cut.
