BC, If geoff really said that then he's even dumber than you But, you see, uh, even though the 15th amendment was passed in 1870, blacks didn't REALLY have the right to vote until much, much later. You know, because of voter ID laws, literacy tests, poll taxes, etc. Double the standards, double the win, Zzumar Shark80

yes it was but down south they prevented blacks from voting...you are the truly dumb fugger we all know you are......you really think a black man could vote down south before the 60s??? When poll taxes, literacy tests, "grandfather clauses," and "white primaries" did notstop blacks from registering and voting, intimidation often did the job. An African-American citizen attempting to exercise his right to vote would often be threatened with losing his job.
