According to Bull Conner and the rest of the racist liberal legacy, yes. For the rest of us, not so much.

Liberals have such a tough time with equality when it eats into their specialty group carve-outs and special programs for special groups. Somehow equality gets twisted into racism...

I'll give you a B for effort. I'm not a liberal, or a conservative.

I'm just saying let's be real about the constitution and the founding fathers. When that was written, blacks/indians, etc were not considered equal.

How long did it take before we allowed women to vote?

Good question; that's not readily defined. I forgot the source link:

Women being permitted to vote is part of the problem, not the solution.

And Bull Connor was a Democrat, working under a completely Democrat government. Southern Democrats, they were called.
