Without going too far into this a break the CoC this is my thought on this very thing.

The men who founded this country were Christians and in the bible there is scripture that says "all men are created equal" but it doesn't stop there. It says "all are created equal in the eyes of God." Notice it doesn't say in the eyes of man. God did his job, we screwed it up. Our founding fathers wanted equality for all people it seems, but people.....we don't always like or appreciate what's different. It may not be wrong, these differences, but it's different and we're comfortable with what is familiar. 

So the founding fathers, who included the three-fifths clause and the fugitive slave clause in the US Constitution, the founding fathers who, for the most part, were slave owners and in the case of at least Jefferson were banging those slaves, wanted all men to be equal.
