July 28th, 1868- African Americans were finally granted United States citizenship. The south kicked and screamed the whole way but we finally did the right thing Crazy to think how far we've come yet we still have so far to go

I don't think most people even know what the 19th Amendment is without googling sadly.

And they're just going to downvote me and completely miss the fact I'm joking

Well it only took Louisiana until the 70s to ratify it. Y'all were just asking for some Cajun bitches to poison your gumbo.

Obama and Hillary said it's essentially 1869, and they wouldn't lie about something like that.

Settle down, mate.

Let him spew platitudes about his vague, ill-defined causes against shadowy, faceless villains.

We don't have to do anything, but we're only 52 years removed from the Civil Rights Act of 1964. The foundation for equality is laid, don't let people tell you otherwise, but it takes time to dig out of the hole.

And just think of all the great things that have happened since then!

Schools are great, crime is low, and the system has a surplus of money because everyone is contributing!

Yay
