the 14th amendment doesnt mean squat unless you are of colored skin.

Keep thinking that. Remember civil rights apply to all U.S. citizens and the status of U.S. citizen has been precisely defined by the 14th amendment. The concept of a U.S. citizen prior to the (un)civil war was as a warehouse for immigrants until they could obtain settlement in a state. Now the several States are relegated to administrative subdivisions of the federal government (so saith the CIA Factbook).
