While Trump v. Barbara may signal potential constitutional danger for Black Federal Citizens — raising fears of further dilution, confusion, or loss surrounding the original remedial purpose of Reconstruction-era citizenship — it may also contain an unprecedented opportunity.
For the first time in generations, millions may finally awaken to that exceptional, experiential super-citizenship status of self-determination and authority in the US Federal Government: not just symbolic identity, but a living understanding of their relationship to the Constitution, federal law, and the sacrifices of their chattel-enslaved ancestors.
This matter of the US Constitution’s actual, “Black” power of authority to the chattel slave children, i.e., Freesmen, including Freemen (non slave American Africans), is the mysterious, behind the scenes, continuing of the American “cold” Civil War, which actually began in 1776 around the Declaration of Independence concerning the chattel slaves, and then exploding into the “hot” (violence, bloodshed, killing) War of 1861-65, but is now close becoming “hot” again in some way noting three Democrat-generated rhetoric against Trump, assassination attempts.
This is what the whole political and socioeconomic fight in America is about. Our presence is at the heart of the American story.
All we have to do NOW is show up, take the Promissory Note signed by the President of the Bank, i.e., US President, up to the Palace of Justice, i.e., Supreme Court, to be cashed at the business mall of Congress.
Time to awaken to, learn, embrace, and execute our own efforts of self-determination within the Union nation, awarded to us by certain, remedial, federal laws, particularly that of the 1866 Civil Rights Act of exceptional, unprecedented, empowering citizenship
This is all about us, US federal citizens, with one team of Americans and international interest v. the other over the fate of the American upon whose chattel enslaved backs, the most powerful nation-empire the world has ever known is built.
“Oooops! How Do We Address Them When They Wake Up?”
The crisis itself may become the awakening.
The moment Federal Citizens move from silence and invisibility into study, organization, public engagement, and historical participation — finally letting the Court, Congress, and the nation know:
“We are awake now. We know this matter concerns us. And we intend to help shape its future.”
