I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races—that I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people; and I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality.

The importation of slaves had been banned in the US since 1808, about 60 years before 14th amendment. The vast majority, if not all, of the people that were granted citizenship by the 14th amendment would have been born in the US and been several generations removed from anyone that lived in Africa.

It’s the exact same mistake that racists keep making: Assuming that any brown person that they see is from some other country.
