>Hypocracy implies no desire to change. The US did, eventually, deliver on its promises. That says to me that the ideals were aspirational, not hypocritical.
Did it though? Or was it just forced to change some things due to mass protests or because it found other ways to get the same conveniences?
I mean, who needs slave labor when you can have an industrial revolution, factories and tractors? That doesn't mean that the old slaves are not equal -- you then have Jim Crow laws, segregation, 70% of prisoners being non-white and other methods of control.
Plus have you talked with native americans, say, in the South Dacota? They have some interesting things to say about the country "delivering on its promises".
