   Pointing out that white men have, at best, grudgingly given the vote to women also is a statement of how white men have, and continue to, maintain power. After all, black men got the vote many decades before women.

     @Adam_Cadmon1 This is an important point and also is true for women.

     So odd how the movement for equal rights in America for Black people became Black history and not American history, by and large.

     White people bring up slavery and how we should be over that by now but rarely mention how 100 years after the abolition of slavery, Black people were still less than fully recognized citizens of the US.
