confused

women got the right to vote in america in 1920 but black women couldn't vote until the 1960s. um what?

 "southern whites feared african-americans gaining more political advantage and thus power." i really wish this 

was a joke. because many black women were uneducated there were actually white women who came 

together to try and marginalise and exclude them. :-/ at least "african-american women would not be deterred 

by the rising opposition and became even more aggressive in their campaign to find equality with men and 

other women." any sort of division between people due to race or gender or anything else is so infuriating.

i don't even fully understand this because the 19th amendment which gave american women the right to vote 

was meant to be for all women, regardless of what they are. there were black women who voted in 1920 so 

i'm very confused. wikipedia is so vague so i'm going to research this. i know what my weekend will consist 

of now hehe then i can talk to my friend about it at school on monday. :-)
