It's also strange that the white males [the only people who had a say in anything at the time] writing the constitution said "all men are created equal" yet all of them had slaves.

I think they mean:
'M$ earns lot of money in holland because of all empty-headed schools and companies that buy herds of computers and put M$ OS BS on it'.
