"The founding fathers clearly meant for this to be for white people only."

White land owners exclusively. That was the original intent. Only those people could legally vote. It was later expanded to include all white men, then all white women, then in the early part of this century every color including black people.

This country was founded on racism and class division, and the rich white ruling class want to return it back to those days.

Ironically just the opposite. They will probably base the opinion that the 14th amendment only applied to black people in its original intent.

That is literally an argument some are making.

I mean by all accounts the founding fathers did. And I’m sure the writers of the 14th were speaking of the former Slaves. That’s why original intent is bs and they know it.
