The Meaning of…
"White Citizens" and
Emancipated Slaves, Freedmen-Freemen, Refugees, Part I
“…as is enjoyed by White citizens”
According To The Edicts of The 14th Amendment
of the
1866 Civil Rights Act of the US Constitution
The term "White
Citizens" is not a racist or racial
pejorative or affront to US citizens who happen to be of Euro-American
White-Caucasian, but rather simply one of Constitutional distinction.
"White Citizens"
is the correct Constitutional name
or identity of all American Citizen immigrants,
that is, folks primarily from Caucasian
(White) European countries who willingly emigrated to the USA , particularly
from England and British Isles, later followed by others of continental
Europe are the “White citizens” who legally enjoy the fruits of American
Independence and Freedom to exercise core conservative values.
1866
Civil Rights Act, Section 1 (+)
Actually, "White
citizens" is a term for any and all willing immigrants beginning from James
Town, Virginia to Plymouth Rock, Massachusetts are of that classification.
Such distinction holds true beyond skin color, racial features, or even
national origin and ethnicity.
In fact, Yellow
Asians, Brown East Indians, or even Black Africans are "White citizens"
based on the naturalization laws for immigration into the United States of
America. Apparently, "White citizens" simply means American who are
enjoying all the being willing US citizens, because it was/is their sacred
quest.
The slaves were not
willing US citizens. Such a state was a result of being under the
jurisdiction of the United States since 1776, when they were inherited from
the British Empire...not having a choice in the matter.
However, it is to be
noted the the Freemen who not slaves as the "Freedmen", did have a choice
even as the White European willing immigrants.
The Emancipated
Slaves, Freedmen-Freemen, Refugees are what I define as
the West African, Americanized slaves and their children or descendants, who were freed
from the bondage of the peculiar chattel slave institution of the nation by the
Emancipation Proclamation, the Northern States victory over those of the
Southern Confederacy, and its Constitutional legislation of the 13th, 14th,
15th Amendment and the 1866 Civil Rights Act.
It was/is the
legislation of the 14th Amendment which technically granted citizenship to
the Emancipated Slaves who happens to Black, Colored, etc.
The term, "Emancipated
Slave" is in no way meant to cause discomfort or trepidations in White
Americans, but rather simply identifying the actual state of affairs of
those who were freed from slavery as well as their succeeding generations of
offspring living today in the United States.
Though according to the
edicts of the 14th Amendment and the Civil Rights Act of 1866, technically,
"on paper", Black West African Americans are indeed US citizens, but for
whatever reasons be it by our own undoing or caused by someone else,
factually or practically, they as a people
are not reaping Constitutional benefits on the same equitable levels
as the willing "White citizens".
While being all kinds of
identifying names for us ranging from Africans, Niggras, Niggers, Negro (*
Spanish-Latin terms), Colored, Afro-American, Black, African American, et
al, the name "Emancipated Slaves, Freedmen"
is a terminology that finally removes race and color out of the discussion,
thereby making the matters of Civil Rights one of experience and
Constitutional Law and spiritual-moral rectitude...not skin color or racial
features and/or characteristics.
Emancipated Slaves,
American Emancipated Slaves, Emancipated US Slave Citizens, Freedmen, et al,
has nothing to with with minority nor majority status, but rather, that
which is experiential when it comes to implementing the very special
Constitutional mandated Civil Rights to the proper beneficiaries.
Ironically, to the
detriment of the illegal alien populations seeking salvation for
Hispanic/Latino ethnicity, the La Raza activist fatally blundered their
movement when they followed the failed example of Jesse Jackson, the
god-father of racial-money shakedown of American corporations, and foolishly
made US Civil Rights an issue based on "Brown-Bronze" skin color.
The Radical Republican
architects of the Triad Amendments granted the Emancipated Slaves, Freedmen
and Freemen such special Constitutional status like no other ethno-racial
demographic group in the United States was not due latter's skin-color or
unique racial characteristics, but rather due the horrid experience by which
they were brought into this "New Nation".
Hispanic/Latino-Mexican
illegal aliens do not qualify for any of the Triad Amendments because their
experience of crossing a nation's border illegally does not equate with that
of the West African chattel slaves journey into America. In fact, no
Black African who comes to the United States as a willing immigrant has not
STANDING in this matter either.
Color, Race, In The 14th Amendment and Civil
Rights Act of 1866
It must be understood that when this special
legislation was enacted in the 1860's, there was absolutely no thought for
illegal aliens in it, nor Hispanic/Latino peoples, nor Mexicans or anyone
else who did not have the unique experience that the "New Nation" fought a
civil war about.
The people of subject were/are those who were
chattel slaves and just so happen to be the unique skin-color and racial
characteristics that we call Negro, Afro and African American, Colored
People, even Niggras or Niggers as it stated in the 14th Amendment and the
Civil Rights of 1866.
In these Constitutional legislative documents
are the terms,
"of every race
and color", "by
reason of his color or race", " without distinction of race or color".
It is a fact, that the only "people of color" or those who
were the opposite of "White citizens" i.e., Anglo and European immigrants
were either Indians - Native folks (Red) and the West African slaves
(Black), not Hispanic/Latino who are a White ethnicity, nor Mexican which is
a nationality.
-
Hispanic is a term that comes from the
European peninsula of Hesperia, Hispanole - Spain, but popularized
during the Richard M. Nixon Presidential Administration;
-
Latino is from the
European region known as Italy of the ancient Latin language
-
Mexican is a nationality
Therefore, the term, Hispanic-Latino is a modern day contrivance
for the sake of staking claim in American US Civil Rights Legacy
belonging only to the peoples spoken of in the Civil Rights of 1866
Indians, who were considered Red in skin-color were
mentioned once in the Civil Rights Act of 1866,
Section 1 with
the statement "...excluding
Indians not taxed..."
Nowhere in the document is
Hispanic, Latino, Mexican nor illegal alien even mentioned or alluded
to.
Besides, the only
people who could qualify as the "colored race" per se, are the folks
with the racial characteristics that are natural to the West African
region of Africa and diametrically opposite to Whites.
They are the folks with the
most unique and dramatically different facial and muscle form covered by
Black or Negroid (Spanish for black) skin color, which again is indeed
the very opposite of Euro-American immigrant Whites.
The second most defining racial
characteristic is the hair texture
of the slaves being wooly, kinky, nappy, unlike that of
Anglo-Euro-American White peoples, Indians, Hispanic, Latino, Mexican,
all of which is straight.
Also, when slave owning
Christians or later those who were pro-Jim Crow laws of racial
discrimination and segregation would describe the people whom the deemed
were justly slated by GOD to be in such degrading conditions based on
the Bible, it was the Blacks were identified as having the Negroid
features, such as the "Mark of
Cain" and the "Curse of Ham" etc.,
not the "Bronze-Brown" skin of Mexican-Hispanic/Latino, or that of the
Red Indian.
However, though for obvious
reasons race-color is mentioned in the ACT, the real evidential
statement that identifies those who are identified as having STANDING in
this matter, are as the following:
Section 1
"...regard
to any previous condition of slavery or involuntary servitude",
Section 2
"...
on account
of such person
having at any time been
held in a condition of slavery or involuntary servitude...",
Section 4
"...previous
condition of slavery or involuntary servitude...".
The Freedmen's, Bureau
The ACT provided an agency under the US
Military to specifically provide protection and enforcement of the ACT
on behalf of the Emancipated Slaves known in Section 3 as "...the
Bureau for the relief of Freedmen and Refugees..." and
Section
4 as "...the
officers and agents of
the Freedmens Bureau..."
Hispanics, Latinos, Mexican,
nor anyone else regardless of their race, skin-color, nationality or
ethnicity has no right STANDING in this special protections because they
are not Freedmen or Refugees from the US Civil War. The Freedmen's
Bureau obviously needs to be reloaded for the Freedmen and yet Refugees
from the ongoing US Civil War.
Finally, the 14th Amendment
for the Emancipated Slaves, now Freedmen was proceeded by the 13th,
which was granted not because of their skin-color or racial
characteristics, but rather because of the previous state of chattel
slavery.
Mexicans, Hispanics, Latinos,
nor Indians had such an experience, therefore they are not qualified for
STANDING in the ACT, even as willing Black African immigrants are not
either.
If these afore mentioned folks can prove
by experience as described in the ACT, then they too have STANDING.
If not, they must seek solace for their suffering elsewhere, perhaps in
the country of their origin.
The whole "race, skin-color"
argument is rouse by the foreign and domestic enemies of our New Nation.
Whether the late Dr.
Martin Luther King, Jr. was cognizant or not, I believe that GOD
prophetically through him gave us insight and subtle warning to know those
amongst us who would pimp race or skin color as a means to gain prosperity,
prestige and power in these United States.
It is sort of like when
Jesus Christ speaks of false messengers as wolves, etc. saying
"You shall know them by their fruits"...Dr.
King says "content of character"
"I have a dream that my four
children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the
color of their skin but by the content of their
character."
August 28,1963 "I Have A Dream" Speech
THE INVADERS ARE
CAUGHT BY SURPRISE
You see, as US
Emancipated Slave Citizens, we do love GOD. We do love America.
We do love our fellow US "White Citizens" (White, Brown, Red, Yellow, Black)
