Probably. But I think internet has plenty of "tough" arm chair tigers. It doesn't have the impact that a personal interaction can.
Are you saying if you were here you would show me about discrimination by physical action???

The 14th amendment is not the original Constitution. The 14th amendment is a sham.

Let me type slowly...the 14th Amendment is about GOVERNMENT discriminating against people...it does NOT apply to a private individual...

Can you understand that??

The 14th Amendment is not about natural born citizens.

Great logic, counter post you have presented. I wasted a couple of minutes presenting you something to respond on.

Then I still have no idea what you are trying to get across...you could be a little less cryptic.
