    Trying to tell me America is less racist than it is sexist? I don’t recall them going to war to mistreat women, so I call bullshit tbh.

    I think America is sick of political systems and will vote for change time after time. And never actually get any.

      Black men got the vote (1870)** long before women did (1920). The civil rights movement also preceded the women’s rights movement.

      ** Of course it wasn’t so easy for them to exercise that right.

      We just called it “life” and got super upset in the 60’s and 70’s.

      I mean, there weren’t flags but make no mistake.
