"You [Blacks] say well they [politicians] sold us out. Well, they can't help you because you have no property. You can't call yourself a poker player if you're sitting at the table w/ a hand full of cards & no chips."

"In the Constitution, you'll notice: 1) 3/5th clause for slavery; 2) slave owners didn't want head tax on their slaves; 3) they wanted the international slave trade to end in 1808, because they were afraid there would be more Blacks in America than white ppl."
Alton Maddox, Esq.

"Fugitive Slave Act meant Blacks had no right to travel. Slave owners wanted strong central govt to supplement the National Guard. Same provisions were used in L.A. in 1994. If slavery ended in 1863, how can the President use it to put down an insurrection?" Alton Maddox, Esq.

"We've been told the Constitution protects minorities. When they wrote it, they were talking about protecting the 1% who control 70% of the wealth to make sure if the majority ever organized against the few, their rights were protected & status quo remained." Alton Maddox, Esq.

"There are people who like to steal. Blacks owned 30 mil acres. Now, we're down to 2.5 mil (1994). We went from ECONOMIC WEALTH TO SOCIAL RIGHTS. Now, we have the right to lay up in Holiday Inn & drink a coke at Woolworths."😣 Alton Maddox, Esq.

So we can shop at white stores, "but the 1 thing that could've made us (Blacks) CITIZENS, we gave away. We live in a country where LAND is constantly being stolen. The Constitution's writers wanted a law to stop the taking of THEIR property w/o due process." Alton Maddox, Esq.

"B4 the 14th Amendt, there was no protection against the State for taking property. UNDER THE GUISE OF FREEING BLACKS, it went into effect ONLY to protect property owners as the Constitution has nothing to do w/ anything but ECONOMICS & we must understand this. Alton Maddox, Esq.

"There's a big difference between natural rights & civil rights. You have never read a court decision where the judiciary in this country has ever considered Blacks as having NATURAL RIGHTS. 1st time we ever had any rights at all, it was called civil rights." Alton Maddox, Esq.
