I guess you are arguing the converse - that since the 14th disallows claims of loss for the emancipation or loss of slaves, that claims of loss from being a slave are also forbiden?

Regardless, the race hustlers have just made up a legal theory out of thin air - that descendants are due money because whites profited from slavery, and continue to profit from "white priveledge" which is a result of slavery. It passes no legal test and is purely specious, as any rational, reasonable, intelligent person can see.

They essentially raise a civil suit where the injured party is subjectively defined as desendants of legally enslaved persons(and others who have a certain skin color but whos relatives came here after slavery was abolished)and the "damage" is only a self-pitty minset that can not be quantified.

You're right the 14th came at the end of the civil war and does'nt make a distinction between claims from southerners and claims from slaves..it was intended to wipe the entire slate.
