That misrepresents the document you posted.
The document does not say all groups were equal citizens.
It defines the superior/original citizen as:
“A free born White State Citizen…”
Then it calls the 14th Amendment citizen:
“a second class citizen…”
And says the 14th Amendment covered people “in the main… of African blood.”
So no, this is not colorblind freedom. It is citizenship framed through racial hierarchy.
definition of a “free white person”? Let’s look in Black’s Law 4th Edition to figure that out:
meaning all persons belonging to the European races then commonly counted as white, and their descendants, including such descendants in other countries to which they have emigrated.
It includes all European Jews, more or less intermixed with peoples of Celtic, Scandinavian, Teutonic, Iberian, Latin, Greek, and Slavic descent. It includes Magyars, Lapps, and Finns, and the Basques and Albanians. It includes the mixed Latin, Celtic-Iberian, and Moorish inhabitants of Spain and Portugal, the mixed Greek, Latin, Phoenician, and North African inhabitants of Sicily, and the mixed Slav and Tarter inhabitants of South Russia. It does not mean Caucasian race, Aryan race, or Indo-European races, nor the mixed Indo-European, Dravidian, Semitic and Mongolian peoples who inhabit Persia. A Syrian of Asiatic birth and descent will not be entitled to become a naturalized citizen of the United States as being a free white person. Ex parte Shahid, D.C.S.C., 205 F. 812, 813; United States v. Cartozian, D.C.Or., 6 F.2d 919, 921; Ex parte Dow, D.C.S.C., 211 F. 486, 487; In re En Sk Song, D.C.Cal., 271 F. 23. Nor a native-born Filipino. U. S. v. Javier, 22 F.2d 879, 880, 57 App.D.C. 303. Nor a native of India who belonged to Hindu race. Kharaitf Ram Samras v. United States, C.C.A.Cal., 125 F.2d 879, 881.
You’re proving the point.
Quoting an old legal definition of
“free white person”
does not make the document less racialized.
It shows the opposite.
The framework depends on a race-based citizenship category, then treats the
“White State Citizen”
as the superior/original citizen and the 14th Amendment citizen as
"second class.”
That is racial hierarchy with legal citations attached.
Unfortunately, that is not what you are promoting here.
You are ignoring how racially restricted U.S. citizenship was before the 14th Amendment, and then using a document that treats “White State Citizen” as the superior/original citizen.
That is not colorblind freedom. That is racial hierarchy dressed up as legal theory.
whatever, keep being a slave, it's your will

I think the easiest is in the US because the original constitution still stands, but vacant, they just veiled a corporate fiction around it. If enough people realize it, it's a self fulfilling thing.
For the younger states across the world, after WWI and WWII is a bit different, because everything is (re)written from scratch
it's not ideology, klanker, it's the only way to go back to freedom, for the mericanos and the rest of earth
keep believing what you were indoctrinated with
and 'white citizens' can be of any color
color of law much?
