The 14th Amendment establishes birthright citizenship in the United States, meaning anyone born on American soil automatically becomes a citizen regardless of their parents' immigration status, and this constitutional provision was specifically designed to protect the rights of freedmen after the Civil War, making it a foundational element of American citizenship law that cannot be easily changed without risking the rights of all citizens.

🔥 The 14th Amendment: Why Are Black Americans Being Told To Protect It?Added:
How y'all doing?
>> Hey, we doing good. You want to address?
>> I mean, I I I have no problem with FBA because, you know, I consider myself when it comes down to heritage, when it comes down to, you know what I'm saying?
Comes down to pride, when it comes down to history, I understand all of the FBA principles. But the one thing y'all got to understand is without representation in this nation, we're not going to get nothing. I define American by the Constitution because that is the written law. But if they change the 14th amendment, then we all are in jeopardy of losing our rights because the law has changed. And it won't matter what your birth certificate says. It won't matter if you first generation, second or third. Won't matter if they get their hands on the 14th amendment. then we're in trouble because all the Civil Rights Act, everything we fought for from 1965 is based on the principles of us being citizens from the 14th Amendment. We cannot allow that. We cannot keep dividing ourselves along political lines nor cultural lines nor religious lines because we are all under the same flag of oppression.
Doesn't matter if you're Jamaican America, doesn't matter if you're African-American, if you are or you're in Africa. Racism goes by the color of your skin. You are categorized by that.
You are demonized by that. And if we do not get out and vote and we do not have any form of representation, then we can't change the law nor the system cuz it was not designed for us, man. I land my plane. Thank y'all.
>> Yeah, brother. You didn't even address the prompt. Um, you know, this is the issue. Hold on. You landed. We we don't do that here. Hold on, brother. Just get some decorum. Just get some decorum. We We allow people to speak here. It's It's my turn.
>> So, yeah. You didn't address the prompt.
Okay. We said, "Who what makes a real American?" Y'all went off into some DNC thing. This is not the night to center the DNC tonight. This is not Camala hour. Okay. This is where we define who is a real American, right? And so, that's what we wanted an opinion on is what makes someone a real American.
Could you I don't know if Miss Love wants you to answer that or not. I said the law, the constitution defines as it is written to this very day and moment defines who is an American citizen and who is not. It's the law.
>> And then he went to go on about the 14th amendment. And now what are you what are you saying we should do as black Americans again?
>> And black American unity. We got to have the power of representation. the way the system is designed as it is, we are not going to be able to create a sovereign nation within a nation because we still are under the jurisdiction and the laws of the United States.
>> Now really, how would the um why why should we care about you know the 14th amendment?
>> Because without the 14th amendment then it takes away your clarification as being an American. what the prompt says without because there is no longer any birthright citizenship without the fourth right without the 14th amendment.
>> So how you gonna prove >> it was black people weren't weren't black American citizens already.
>> How but that does not apply to the jurisdiction of the laws that we are under currently. It doesn't apply to people.
>> How can that harm?
>> Hold on. Really? Hold on. Hold on. How can that harm black Americans by them um um which what you reviving the 14th amendment?
>> Because the under the classification of the legal system, then you are no longer a citizen. Without birthright citizenship, >> we will we be where will we where will we be a citizen of then?
>> Good question. But you won't be a citizen by legal definition. That is a problem.
>> I'm sorry. That's that's that's not true. First of all, because the 13th and the 14th amendment go together and the baby follows the belly law automatically makes us citizens. We We are not only citizens, we are naturalized citizens by those two by those three three things together. If they eliminate the 14th, do not eliminate the 13th.
>> You still have, right? They're not. They can't eliminate us because we first of all, if you remember, uh, first of all, um, we were natural. We were already sovereign. We came together with the United States. And that's when they wrote the Constitution, the 13th, the 14th amendment, and the baby follows the belly law. So, it is impossible to take away a a citizenship.
>> Real quick, after you after my man get a plane, I want American Negro to have a back and forth with him after you plane.
Hold on a minute.
>> Okay. Yep. That's that's that's what I wanted to say.
>> Did you finish though?
>> Yes.
>> Okay. American Negro, have you listened to this man?
>> Yeah. Yeah. I came up just I was scrolling through uh love. I was It came up just for this clarification. American uh the sister is right but the baby follow the the womb or the the belly law is what's called partis ventrium. It's 1682. It's colonial law. It did pass over into the slave codes of 1740s and 1730s. Uh again if um let me see if I I I can get this up on my tablet if anyone needs to have this uh proof shown. But the part of secret ventrium which is the baby follows the womb or baby follows the bell belly law that was first passed by the colony of Virginia in 168 uh 16 Jesus 1662 Jesus 1662 right because the Barbados slave codes was 1661. So yeah, 1662 was that law that when the first colony had passed it, then all the colonies passed versions of that law, the 13 colonies, it had that law had survived uh the revol revolutionary war to to be inculcated inside of the slave codes all the way down to the 1740s. Uh South Carolina, Virginia, all the all the 33 states by by 1830. So that's the first thing. The second thing I wanted to say the United States did not have a universal uh citizenship. The federal government was not that was not the purview of the United States federal government. The federal government allowed every state to have its own version of citizenship. That is why you have uh free negroes in the north. Some could sue, others could not. uh in in the state of Delaware uh uh you the the the negro could not inherit uh uh land they could not be a part of of of testate what we call uh um estates right and so that's why all the white folks on TikTok like to talk about Anthony Johnson and how he owned slaves this black African that owned slaves but they don't talk about that the slaves that he owned were his own son and at the time that Anthony Johnson was uneleded. He passed away. His son could not inherit uh the estate because again the privileges and immunities of the government did not extend to all negroes uniformly across all 33 states by that time 1830 had rolled around. We've we've been discussing this for years about this. But so Miss American um up there in the caddy corner right below loves she is correct. uh number one that uh that the baby follows a belly uh law was implemented and it survived the co post uh pre-colonial period and then number two the United States did not have a universal standard or uniform standard in which to confer citizenship upon its citizens. It left it left that up upon all of its member states. That is why uh some 80 years later when we get to 1866 and the 14th amendment that is why in the very first paragraph it says in the states in which you reside you are a citizen in the state in which you reside meaning that if I were to travel from let's say I was a South Carolinian if I were to travel to Florida me and my wife in this hypothetical and my wife has the baby in Florida am I a am I a citizen of the United States but a resident of Florida. No. Right. I'm traveling to Florida to see my kinfolk or whatever it is. But I am a citizen of South Carolina. Right. The same thing should happen when you're uh Russian. If you're if you're from Russia and you're just to have a kid, is that kid uh a resident of Florida? No. It is uh on tur it's on, you know, the family's on holiday. So why is it that we give uh automatic citizenship to children of of foreigners who happen to be here uh contemporaneously or temporarily? Right.
It doesn't make any sense and I'll go ahead and mute.
>> Okay.
>> Get your response to that.
>> Uh hold on Dr. O. It's really time.
Really final say.
>> My response to that is simply this.
federal laws override state laws and and and if that wasn't the necessarily the case, we would not be under the jurisdiction of the United States of America. So whatever type of precedence that you're trying to quote without the Constitution backing that precedence, it does not have legal standing. It does not have feet. It does not have a foundation. The federal law jurisdiction overrides any state presidents. You have to understand.
>> Are you pro immigration? Am I pro- immigration?
>> Mhm.
>> Yes, of course I'm pro immigration the right way. Get that right. Not not illegal, you know what I'm saying?
Undocumented immigration, but legal immigration. Yes, I'm for that. Yes, I am.
>> Well, we not. So, >> and I can understand you're not and I can understand why.
>> I hope it get I hope it get revised.
>> Jacob Howard. So uh for the 14th amendment I and understand this that by the time the 1850s are rolled around we had the DreadScott case. DreadScott case Samuel I've been listening to what Samuel has to put out. Samuel is a researcher. He is a scholar. I do uh acknowledge Samuel as being a researcher here on Tik Tok. When I when I listen to Samuel and what he has uh some of this stuff just blew some my mind. He has actually done a documentary on the Dread Scott case. I would implore that all of you who want to learn more from an academic source, please uh uh friend Samuel and go and and listen and learn from him. He he did a literal documentary on the Dread Scott case. The DreadScott case was was uh deliberated by the head jurist, Tawnie. That's Tawnie. Tonnie was politically corrupt.
He never should have been the head jurist on the Supreme Court. uh he w he was given that position as a jur as the head jurist uh by political favors. And so Tonnie uh re reconstructed this narrative that Dread Scott was a slave.
Dread Scott was never a slave. He was actually uh kidnapped. He was kidnapped.
And so that whole case was crap just from the beginning. But anyway, we we go from the Dread Scott case.
>> Well, we got to we got to lay in your plane, too. So >> I'm sorry. I'm sorry. Let me make this very quick. we go from the DreadScott case to the to the 14th amendment. What I'm trying to explain to you about the 14th Amendment is that when Jacob Howard, the representative who profered the 14th amendment, what he said makes absolute sense, which is that the 14th Amendment was just for uh black Americans or the freedman. The freedman, the ones that were free. Matter of fact, they want I give me seven more seconds.
They wanted to get rid of They did not want gypsies or Asians to be a part of the birthright citizenship claim. They never wanted gypsies or Asians to be a part of the birthright citizenship claim. They wanted to make birthright citizenship exclusionary. And so, and and if you read the deliberations on the House congressional floor, you'll understand that it was very exclusionary. It was meant for it was meant to cure the problems of the freedman uh during the end of the Civil War. NLN, thanks so much for letting me speak. level >> muted Miss L.
>> Sorry, Dr. O, you had something you wanted to say. I don't know if it was for American or not.
>> I'm I'mma say this and I'mma land and I have to go take care of some business.
>> Okay, go ahead.
>> And and and that is we can talk about all the laws that they set up before anybody came to this continent. We were already here running government and doing our own thing. They didn't come over here and find people with bones in their noses not knowing what to do. They came over here and got educated. And if all you guys would get on your computer or your phone, and you look at the immigrants that came over here from the early 1900s to 1920, it was about 12 to 15 million of them that came over here on ships and the pictures are there to illustrate all that. So before they came over here and took advantage of some nice indigenous people to set up their fictitious government because the the federal government is about as federal as Federal Express. Okay? It ain't no government. This is a corporation being ran and the people that don't know that then they they play these games. But like I said, if we get to the truth, if we just would tell the truth, the only people that would have an opinion on what to say it is and it isn't is the copper color melanated indigenous people of this continent. Everybody else would have to zip their lip. But since they came over here and the foundations of what a lot of people speak on is nothing but lies. But what I love is that the truth is coming out and a gentleman made a beautiful point. Hey, in order for us to come together, in order for us to do what we supposed to do, we can't have no differences amongst us. There's no differences amongst other races that have came over here and established themselves in this nation. You can't have differences. You got to unite.
Because before they separated us,
