Wow, you damn right, because we have heard this kind of talk before and look at what has been done. I would be stupid to ignore it, but that is what racist fools want us to do.

No you’re just stupid because you don’t actually understand what the case before the court is about and so you swallow whatever you’re fed so long as it tracks with what you want to believe.

A red state lawmaker quietly called on the Supreme Court to overturn the Fourteenth Amendment, but plenty of people are calling out the stunning remark.

The GOP state Speaker Nathaniel Ledbetter told local media, "I certainly hope the Supreme Court will overturn Amendment 14," as the state moves to redistrict. The Fourteenth Amendment promises equal protection under the law, as well as due process and birthright and naturalized citizenship.

Ledbetter told the press that the Alabama House is still seeking more power to change their state's elections, saying, "all we need now is the courts to overturn Fourteen, and we can look at the election."

Joyce Vance, former U.S. Attorney for the Northern District of Alabama, noted that "this is the same legislative body a court found engaged in intentional racial discrimination in drawing voting maps."

It's all in our heads, republicans don't want to go back to the days of Jim Crow.

What does the 14th Amendment do again?

The Supreme Court has no authority to remove the 14th Amendment. To remove or add a Constitutional Amendment, it takes 38 states to agree on such an action.
As to the 14th Amendment itself, it was created "solely" for the purpose of making former slaves, citizens of the United States. It had nothing to do with foreign women slipping over our border for the purpose of giving birth to a citizen.

So why did the dumbass make the comment? Right plan, wrong man.

Carol Anderson called it when she said this:

“The second key maneuver, which flowed naturally from the first, was to redefine racism itself. Confronted with civil rights headlines depicting unflattering portrayals of KKK rallies and jackbooted sheriffs, white authority transformed those damning images of white supremacy into the sole definition of racism. This simple but wickedly brilliant conceptual and linguistic shift served multiple purposes. First and foremost, it was conscience-soothing. The whittling down of racism to sheet-wearing goons allowed a cloud of racial innocence to cover many whites who, although ‘resentful of black progress’ and determined to ensure that racial inequality remained untouched, could see and project themselves as the ‘kind of upstanding white citizen(s)’ who were ‘positively outraged at the tactics of the Ku Klux Klan”. The focus on the Klan also helped to designate racism as an individual aberration rather than something systemic, institutional and pervasive.”

That means Melania and Baron will have to go.
