So what class of citizens does that still apply to?

Well, to start with, people who live in New Jersey, Maryland, ..... those sorts of places, and you don’t have to be black anymore to be a government slave with no rights.

BTW, the 14th amendment was written because it was necessary to establish that persons who'd formerly been slaves were now citizens.

Surprising how many people these days have no idea what slavery really meant. When I was a kid we'd have these old folks stop by the school to speak and they'd tell us how it was to be a slave. They'd been slaves and they were really old.
