The 14th Amendment Enticement And Blacks In America

Picture By Google Search

Civics 1.0.1: POTUS alone cannot undo, change or ratify any US Amendment. Only the 2/3 of the state representatives, the US Senate and the House of Representative can ratify/change the US Constitutional Amendments. Or the Constitutional Convention by 2/3 of the state legislatures can change/ratify the US Constitutional Amendment. I'm not a lawyer, but a historian. The lawyers can take this up further.


However, the sad reality is that the #14, was established to give former slaves the right to citizenship because after the abolition of slavery, there was a supreme court ruling that denied former freed slaves the right to citizenship thus, owning their land, mules (properties). Reference the events that characterized the Jim Crow Laws that permeated the deep south.

In results, the deep southern events and the supreme court ruling endorsement of these events scared many black people (Former slaves). Fearing for their lives, some black people repatriated to West Africa (including Liberia) and the Caribbean islands. Places that were not born or lived for many generations. Sad.

So, if history is the lesson, POTUS may in effect stepped on the lowest point dating back prior to the US Civil War. The effects thus far to the black people, in this country is further from the mere assumption of the #14 as immigration law. Black people of slaves descendants were not immigrants. It is insensitive to insinuate the entire #14 as such and ignore the events of slavery, civil war, and the Jim Crow Laws.

The #14 is by default entirely mischaracterized here as #AncharBabyImmigration law. But, it was about addressing the Slavery's remnants, effects that denied black people their freedom as free people and citizenship, even after the abolition was ratified and civil war were over. All politics aside, it is a sad reality of our time. #CivicsOneOnOne

I hope you enjoy today's topic.
