Holy shit you're a moron.
The 15th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (ratified in 1870) states "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." Giving all races the right to vote.
The 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution (ratified in 1920) gives women the right to vote.
So maybe you should actually do some research before calling someone stupid.
