The U. S. Constitution should have been scrapped and totally rewritten at the conclusion of the Civil War, without input from traitors or rebels, who had sought the nation's destruction and nearly succeeded! But, black troops and contrabands saved the nation, only to be "re-enslaved" in fact if not in law by the grand Caucasian consensus, which bartered their freedoms and privileges for political power in the North and for exclusive legal, economic and political power in the South. So, for us, the Civil War has never ended! It is still being fought, on many planes and in many ways daily--even right now--appearances to the contrary, notwithstanding! So, this Constitutional Amendments suggestion of Mr. Justice Stevens arrives at a peculiar point in history, and could be used as a wedge to secure that which we have never had: freedom and economic restitution for the prolonged, wrongful denial of "rights" of which we were deprived by Courts, Congress, Presidents, and Custom, since 1866, with interest, the letter of the law having been ignored and that of the Constitution desecrated!
