14th AMENDMENT DISCREPANCIES

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution This U.S. Constitutional Amendment, written exclusively for the benefit of former slaves, and ratified for freedmen on July 9, 1868, was beneficially denied to them by a series of U. S. Supreme Court decisions for almost century thereafter, and by the states as well. Meanwhile, every other disaffected and discrete group has enjoyed its benefits: white women; gay rights groups; prisoners; aliens---anyone but the blacks, themselves.
