“You know all men and women are created equal. End of quote. We’ve never lived up to it. Jefferson never lived up to it, he held slaves. Women were excluded”
— Joe Biden
Simplified Meaning:
Everyone is supposed to have the same rights and be treated equally. However, this hasn't always happened. Even though people like Jefferson said this, he owned slaves, and women were not given equal rights.
