Why the 13th and 14th amendments should never be repealed

Many conservatives believe that the 13th and 14th amendments should be removed.

The 13th amendment makes slavery and involuntary servitude illegal. The 14th amendment defines citizenship. In fact the 14th amendment was useful in the Civil Rights era.

Honestly, it is beyond me how anyone could possibly conceive in their head that these 2 amendments should be repealed.

I mean you have to be racist or just some kind of hater.

Some people argue that we are a different society now, so why do we need something like that.

Well here is why.

When something like the Holocaust was able to happen in Germany during the 2oth century, and then something similar in Africa currently, and then Jim Crow all the way until the end of the 1960s....one must be foolish to have that much faith in humanity to believe its changed.

If anything, Germany proved, and the conservatives of right now keep proving just how quick Americans become hateful and even murderous when in a state of worry.

Look at the Great Depression, when the stock market crashed, everyone went rushing to the banks, and guess what happened? That pushed America further into a deep depression because the banks began to fail.

Look at today, every time a news report says things are looking good, jobless claims are decreasing, within the next week it takes a turn for the worst.

When people are put into a state of worry or fear and the flames are further ignited by hate mongerers (such as Glenn Beck, Rush Limbaugh, and Ann Coulter), all hell breaks loose.

If those amendments are repealed evil will come upon america alot faster than with those amendments.

Now why did I just say that? What I mean is that even with those amendments, slavery could still come back, ever heard of black codes (pre jim crow)? Essentially all you have to do is take an evil and disguise it.

Besides its bad enough the 18th amendment was repealed (the prohibition of alcohol).
