The 14th Amendment wasn't enforced because the people (the white people) of the North and South didn't want to change because inequality was a way of life. People were slow to change.
The law wasn't acted upon, because a law is only as good as it is acted upon.
Many states and state officials were against this law.
The Constitution does not apply to the populace, but only to governments. Governments that violated the Constitution were stopped by the federal courts.
