        That means EVERY WOMAN in America. Women didn't get the right to vote until 1920.

        I wonder how Oprah feels about the people who did those things and realized voting isn't the answer. There isn't a rich person on earth that got it from voting. The ownership of all resources in earth weren't acquired by voting. America wasn't acquired by voting ..Ask the Natives

        Black men had the right to vote before women so most all of us have an ancestor that couldn't vote! Oprah is clearly being racist here

        Yes. To black Americans, don't dishonor your ancestors' legacies by voting for the same political party that fought to keep them enslaved, lynched them using the KKK, discriminated against them with Jim Crow laws and voted against civil rights legislation in the 1960's. Vote GOP.

        And saying “to black Americans” probably implies he isn’t a black Americans. But yes tell them how they should vote

        Yeah, just like Oprah is. Every citizen has every right to make an argument as to why other citizens should vote for one candidate/party over another. Welcome to America. It's free speech. Don't be a fascist.

        When did I say anything about speech? If you’re not a black persons yiu shokdnt lecture them on their ancestors. It’s a pretty simple concept

        It's a concept wrought in racist ideology. The idea that I "shouldn't" be allowed to voice an opinion, all because of the amount of melanin in my skin or the kind of genitals between my legs, this is exactly the kind of intersectional nonsense the left promulgates.

        I quoted you specifically saying I "shouldn't" speak on this specifically because my skin color doesn't match what you think it should.
