> I am not quite sure I understand that view. Why is the statement “America was built on fundamental ideas of freedom” a political or identity point?
Because freedom cannot be untied from politics and society. The initial constitutional congress defined freedom for those who owned land. Obviously with time it expanded to all white men, then all white women, and so on, but not with out a inherently political fight.
A fight which we may not encode into law, but which is effectively encoded into law by uneven enforcement of law.
