Supreme Court Same Sex Marriage Argumet

[Anima]

The primary benficiaries of affirmative action has been white women who are classified as minorities under the women class though there is not much history of white women be under privileged. 

....wait.......what!?!  I think those white women who had to wait to get the right to vote...for half a century longer than a black man...might disagree....

While black men were given the right to vote as part of the 15th Amendment in 1870 following reconstruction the act of voting was prohibited to them extensively by poll taxes, reading tests, and jim crow laws requiring the passing of the Voting Right act in 1965.

"United States Supreme Court decisions in the late nineteenth century interpreted the amendment narrowly. From 1890 to 1910, most black voters in the South were effectively disenfranchised by new state constitutions and state laws incorporating such obstacles as poll taxes and discriminatory literacy tests, from which white voters were exempted by grandfather clauses. A system of whites-only primaries and violent intimidation by white groups also suppressed black participation." (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteenth_A...nstitution)

While women gained sufferage by the 19th Amendment in 1920, which is around the same time the black men were finally able to vote in truth (with exceptions for various hangings and attacks against blacks at polling stations which white women did not endure).

"White supremacists such as the Ku Klux Klan (KKK) used paramilitary violence to prevent black people from voting. A number of blacks were killed at the Colfax massacre of 1873 while attempting to defend their right to vote. The Enforcement Acts were passed by Congress in 1870–1871 to authorize federal prosecution of the KKK and others who violated the amendment.[38] However, as Reconstruction neared its end and federal troops withdrew, prosecutions under the Enforcement Acts dropped significantly. In United States v. Cruikshank (1876), the Supreme Court ruled that the federal government did not have the authority to prosecute the perpetrators of the Colfax massacre because they were not state actors.[39][40][41]

Congress removed a provision against conspiracy from the acts in 1894, weakening them further.[40] In 1877, Republican Rutherford B. Hayes was elected president after a highly contested election, receiving support from three Southern states in exchange for a pledge to allow white Democratic governments to rule without federal interference. As president, he refused to enforce federal civil rights protections,[42] allowing states to begin to implement racially discriminatory Jim Crow laws. A Federal Elections Bill was successfully filibustered in the Senate..[43]
Post-reconstruction

From 1890 to 1910, poll taxes and literacy tests were instituted across the South, effectively disenfranchising the great majority of blacks. White-only primary elections also served to reduce the influence of blacks in the political system. Along with increasing legal obstacles, blacks were excluded from the political system by threats of violent reprisals by whites in the form of lynch mobs and terrorist attacks by the Ku Klux Klan.[35]" (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fifteenth_A...nstitution)
