美國憲法中的Men are equal(男人生來平等),沒有講膚色,但講的非常清楚是男人。美國黑人男人投票比白人男人晚,糾其原因是因為美國人多少繼承了英國人“公民選舉權與納稅人劃等號”的傳統。要有財產才納稅。但早在美國獨立戰爭期間,北方的黑人就有富豪了。最出名的叫保羅-卡菲的黑人,他做買賣發了大財,成為美國當時的10大富豪之一。1779年,他聯合麻州的另外6位黑人富豪發起了(嚴格說是“接過了”)“沒有選舉權就不納稅”的口號,宣布拒絕上稅。第二年,也就是1780年,美國北方基本上取消了奴隸製。比美國第一任總統華盛頓當總統的1789年還早。這就是為何北方建國前就出了黑人富豪的背景。但從法律上廢除奴隸製是第三任總統傑佛遜完成的。美國建國後各州議會幾年後分別通過法律闡述,給予所有納稅的男人(自然包括黑人和其他膚色美國公民)以等同的投票權。
You are missing the point. The examples given were typical of the sort of decisions made by the goo' ol' boys club and not a reflection of the entire society's view on matters. You can't simply extrapolate that sort of sample set. Women are very much a part of the political process today as much as the blacks.
Let's look at past elections. Black members of the Congress are usually elected from black districts. In the case of Obama, while he is highly appealing to the general voters due to his charisma and eloquence, don't forget he was elected with strong backing of the Chicagoland blacks. As a matter of fact, most black Congressmen are from districts specifically created since the Civil War to elect black representatives; no such districts exist for women. Black candidates generally do poorly in districts where minorities don't enjoy a substantial population edge. Congresswomen, on the other hand, are not elected from woman districts. They had to fight against their opponents on equal grounds and win. Mind you, Obama is the only black in the Senate, and he's not even a traditional American black. Just for comparison, there are 16 women in the Senate, none black. That so called "breaking trend" certainly doesn't apply here.
Black men have participated in the presidential nomination process for many years, yet they have made little inroads. The likes of Rev. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have been marginal candidates at best. Why? Because they rely heavily on the blacks. Hillary really is the first women presidential candidate ever. Regardless of the current delegate count, she is still the one to catch in the Democratic camp.
Obama's strongest support comes from young people and Hillary the older. Historically, the young and the minorities tend to have below average turnout at the poll, whereas the older folks have been more enthusiastic.
And that little note on Columbia University is also a bit misleading. There has been women graduates from the Columbia University since the 1800s, especially the graduate programs. True, Columbia College is the main undergraduate institution of the Columbia University, but Columbia also has a renowned woman's only undergraduate college - Barnard College, which was established in 1890. Barnard graduates receive diplomas from both Barnard and Columbia University. It is still a woman's college to this day.
As to who is more likely to win the general election in Nov, that's up in the air. Neither camp has to worry about the traditional blue/red states. Obama is just as assured to win the likes of New York/Illinois/California/Mass as Hillary. It's the swing states, such as Florida and Ohio, that will decide matter. Hillary will give even Rudy a run for Florida let alone anyone else the Republican can nominate. Those 25 electoral votes along with the traditional blue states will give the Democrat a substantial foundation. Don't forget, much of Florida is really the nursing home for New York.
Both are not good. Examining closely, it can be found that the current problems in US started from Bill - salaries have been raised too high to compete in the world.
