And why do you persist in holding that the term "black/white relations" excludes women? It doesn't.

There have of course been civil rights struggles involving a number of demographic groups in this country. OTOH, it's a linguistic commonplace to use the word "civil rights" with reference to African American legal struggles for equality, as in "civil rights movement." Maybe it's bigotry that that practice persists. It's your call.

While I choose not to rank oppressions in terms of historical importance or order, for the record the disenfranchisement of African American voters continued past the 1920s and the women's suffrage amendment. But you know that, and still prefer linguistic snark even when talking to people who share the same goals.

By the way, you didn't mention men in your statement. How sexist!
