>> So, it is your contention that the Constitution, and the right to the Freedom of Association that you aptly quoted earlier, only applies to "underrepresented minorities".

No.

>> What about the counties and states in which Whites are "underrepresented minorities"?

Since I answered no to your first question, the second is irrelevant. Freedom of association is not restricted to minorities. It applies to the KKK as well, who can legally exclude blacks. Yes, the constitution guarantees arseholes the right form groups.

>> Likewise, how did underrepresented minorities manage to elect a Black man as POTUS?

This isn't really a question, but a rhetorical statement. Obama appealed to enough Americans win in the electoral college and become elected President of the United States. Twice.

Also, is it fair and justified for a people who comprise 13% of the U.S. population to have a 50% say in the nation's affairs?

I can make no sense whatsoever of this question. Perhaps if you clarified it.
