a bunch of white Americans argued that you shouldn’t wash your rice because it “washes off the vitamins” and my response to that is, what if you ate more vegetables and/or took a multivitamin so you didn’t have to eat gummy mushy rice?

Not to mention the experience of California, snd the lawlessness and chaos that came from declaring Chinese people outside the law. So when the senator from Penn said “what about “Gypsies” and Chinese?” the answer was clear: yes we mean ‘Gypsies’ and Chinese too.

what follows immediately after the birthright clause? the privileges and immunities and due process clauses? and what follows them? the equal protection clause. all of this is explicitly to say, "the declaration is the constitutional law of the land"

the birthright clause was not just written to wipe dred scott off of the books, it was written to repudiate the *idea* behind dred scott, you might say the larger *ideological project* of dred scott. and the whole of section 1 of the 14th amendment is a constitutional statement of political equality

dred scott, in their minds, established the united states as a place of tiered citizenship and permanent inequality among americans. it was a ruling that said, in effect, that all men *were not* created equal and would *never* be treated as such.

i think to understand the meaning of the birthright citizenship clause to the framers of the 14th amendment, you have to understand significance of dred scott to the civil war republican party. dred scott wasn't just a bad ruling, it was understood as a rejection of the declaration itself.

That's why empathy is so powerful and pisses people like Allie Beth Stuckey off. You don't need to know why people are trans or be well-versed in gender theory. But if you have a baseline of empathy, you recognize it's only polite to call someone by their preferred name.

This issue came up a lot on research for this video. Allie Beth plays the victim, whining that liberals "empathy-shame" her for her beliefs.
But when you get into the specifics of what these people want, it's not just to have beliefs, but to control others.

"Yellow" - commercial.

And I have to say this is the dumbest thing on writing that I've ever read.
