All people, including all the countries from where BIPOC people come from, define rights only within the given definition of "citizen" to the exclusion of everyone else.
This remains true for any system of government even today.
Enfranchisement takes place in stages, in ancient Greece it was first applied to a collective rather than to specific individuals or their families, from then on institutions are required to safeguard the management of the power relationships, while without that you have a King who decides everything, in democratic systems you need offices run by citizens that ensure equitability among the collective is maintained.
The difference between democratic systems and non(ancient or modern) is that in democratic systems these are the defined goals of the state via an agreement, often called a constitution:
Isonomia, isegoria, isokratia
Isonomia = Equality before the law via the courts
Isegoria= Equality of speech via the Ecclesia tou Demou(Assembly), all citizens have the right to be heard
Isokratia= Equality of power via the rotational system of all non-elected(.ie bureauractic) public offices, all citizens have the right and duty to run the management of the public offices.
That is the main recipe for democracy and that with variations was applied in various Greek city-states beyond Athens, then adopted and modified by Rome which eventually was replaced by the Imperial system until pre-Renaissance Italy brought up other variants of the above.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IsonomiaHerodotos-The Histories wrote:The rule of the people has the fairest name of all, equality (isonomia), and does none of the things that a monarch does. The lot determines offices, power is held accountable, and deliberation is conducted in public.
@Pants-of-dog what you also need to take note of is that ancient Athenian democracy was far more empowering to a citizen than any system in place today and was far more demanding as well.
Active military service for an average citizen was over 30 years and people were legally expected to serve in the army for
42 years. The citizens aside from having their jobs or businesses, they also had to serve(on a yearly or 4 yearly basis) for many years(all their lives really)
free of charge running all public institutions of the city. So all the public institutions were all staffed free-of-charge by the citizens with rights and duties.
It is a very post-modern phenomenon of people enjoying rights without duties and that is why it may be preferable to be talking of modern privileges within nation-states instead of actual rights.
That is some food for thought.
