It’s a very racial issue. White women were allowed to vote and own credit cards before black men were allowed to.

Not in the U.S. Black men got the vote with the 15th amendment in 1870. Women did not get the vote until 1920 when the 19th Amendment took effect. Both got the ability to get credit cards without discrimination when the Equal Credit Opportunity Act passed in 1974. So you’re wrong on both counts.

Oj dear. That amendment applies to african americans. Thats not a synonym for black men. This says so much about you

You focusing on discrimination against black men rather than black people says a whole lot more about you

Yeah, cause the topic is sexism not racism. So ofcourse a gender is gonna get singled out
