1. K&R

2. Women have their own historical burdens to overcome.

We'll just leave it at that.

[adoraz]

5. not even comparable

you can't compare slavery to what women have had to overcome.

yes their challenges were bad, but come on.

whites of both genders (especially males) have always been far better off.

[LisaL]

6. Oh really?

Let's start with a right to vote.
Women got it fifty years after black men did.

[adoraz]

7. very true

But women didn't have to deal with the KKK after they were given the right.

I am in no way saying that women have had it easy. I am simply saying that comparing their American histories with blacks is absolutely ridiculous. It almost seems disrespectful. Blacks went through slavery- probably the worst thing imaginable. No, its actually not. the worst thing imaginable was afterwards living with fear of the KKK. White women, especially in the South, have always been far better off through history. White men however, easily were far better off than women were, and I also don't think that is comparable (white women have a far worse history).

thats just my opinion though. I don't want to start a race/sex war.

17. ding ding ding - women weren't routinely lynched or had their balls cut off n/t

[GreenPartyVoter]

22. Not in the usa, but there is certainly genital mutilation occurring against women elsewhere in the

world.

[Adelante]

34. However, routinely raped, beaten and pauperized

Really, this discussion is not worth having. Racism and sexism are wrong. That is what matters.

[Yes We Did]

24. It does't "almost" seem disrespectful,

it is a copmletely ignorant statement and extremely crude to put it mildly.

8. Black people didn't get to actually vote until 1965 (South)

the passage of the civil rights act,

Thats how long it took ,100 years, for the 15th amendment to take root and as for black women during the suffragist movement white southern women made Black women march in the back of the parades, even the suffragist movement was segrgated

[anonymous171]

9. Incredibly ignorant.

Were women purposefully blocked from voting by unfair "voter tests"? Were they lynched for voting or for registering other women to vote?

[LisaL]

23. Educate yourself.

30. apples and oranges here. Its like comparing to see whose bruises

are worse.

[stray cat]

12. Women were also considered property and could be killed/raped by their husband

Its not an either or situation. I was also surprised that woman were not allowed to vote until after blacks.

[gabeana]

15. are you from the states?

because I thought womens suffrage was common knowledge, voting rights for women not until after the WWI

[Yes We Did]

27. I hate to tell you, but AA weren't "considered" anything. They WERE property.

[Kahuna]

33. Somebody needs to crack open a history book or two.

Not directed at you but the poster you responded to.

[Kahuna]

32. Blacks were never considered property and raped. Right?

[Cha]

18. They do but did anyone of Obama's people say

"hilary was lucky"? Didn't think so.

[LisaL]

20. Obama's pastor sure had some things to say about Hillary, but

maybe you missed that.
I don't want to repeat what he said, but it would appear to me that he was going towards Hillary being the lucky one since she ain't a black man.

[Cha]

26. hilary's a tool and has the power elite

behind her.

And, Obama denounced the incendiary remarks of the Reverend Wright.

[krkaufman]

29. What he actually said... Hillary doesn't know what it's like to be black ...

... because she's never been called a n****r.

Seems inarguable, to me. And I don't see where Wright's calling Hillary "lucky" -- as Ferraro explicitly did, in regards to Obama.

[Yes We Did]

25. Yes, women were stolen from other counties and continents

ripped from their families and sold into slavery.

For you to make any comparison really opens my eyes to the type of person you really must be.

You must fit into that magic 25% of Hillary supporters that say there is "just something about him" when it comes to Barack that you "just can't put your finger on."
