Why are uneducated ppl still claiming that Black men are given preference over White women?

We Answered:

Black men were given the right to vote first with the 15th amendment and white women were finally given the right to vote with the 19th amendment. Not to say that black men are always treated better than white women (this is obviously not true), but you have to realize and accept that overt sexism is still very real, and even more acceptable than overt racism. In this years past primary election, the media was careful to not imply racist attitudes, but when it came to Hilary Clinton, the sexist remarks were plentiful and seen as not that big of a deal. I am not saying that black men are treated better than white women, but you have to see that in a greater world perspective women are still seen very much as second-class citizens. Women still receive lower wages, are sexually harrassed in the work place, and are subjected to stereotypes as well. I am black, so I feel I can see both persepctives on this issue. I see what you are saying but maybe try to see it from another perspective as well.

Diana Said:

Would a mandatory intelligence test before people could vote in elections be a good idea?

We Answered:

I like the idea that to vote people should have to serve the country in some way. Be it military, local fire department, volunteer work at a hospital, something. Show that you actually are willing to work for this country.

I do know what you mean though. How many voters still believe that Obama is muslim? I don't know how some people chose their candidates. A repub buddy of mine's girlfriend voted for Romney in the primaries because she liked his hair. We could end up having this country run by someone who once hosted TRL.
