Elisabeth Hasselbeck Needs To Go Back To High School!

Filed under: Elizabitch Hasselbeck

Sheri must be real happy Elizabitch is back on The View.

On Monday's episode, Hasselbeck had a hard time remembering who was granted the right to vote first - women or people of color.

Thankfully, Whoopi put her in her place.

Click here to check it out!

P.S. Rosie must be laughing her ass off…in a very ANNOYING way.

Update: Whoopi was wrong?

Maybe we all could use a little history lesson!

    TOO BAD stupid elizabeth couldn't stick to her guns. this was one of the rare times when ELIZABETH was CORRECT.

    Elizabeth is absolutely right! But because she isn't well liked we WANT her to be wrong and call her stupid, when in reality who is wrong and stupid here? It is Whoopie (who I personally love) but all the same is dead wrong, but because she is liked we don't hold her accountable for getting her facts right! Of course the biggest MORON is Perez for posting this and not, given the facts, make Whoopie accountable in the same way, ie calling her names in banner headlines. We might not like her, might not like what she says or what she stands for, but she is very smart and has her facts straight most all of the time!

    To be clear women were allowed to vote in 1920. Blacks were allowed to vote for a 12 year period during the 1800s but that was later repealed by the white folks. It wasn't until 1965???? that black people were officially allowed to vote like us whiteys. I'm kind of sure. . . .

    307

    Unfortunately this is the one time where Elizabeth is right. Black men could vote before women of any color, and the laws are seperated by about 50 years. This is probably the only time Elizabeth will be right about anything so she better enjoy it. Granted, there were several laws then in place to make it difficult for black to actually cast votes, but in the eyes of the Constitution, they had the right to do so before women.

    blacks gained the right to vote after the civil war, women around the time of the first world war. in parts of the country it would have been very difficult to exercise this right, but yeah whoopi got it wrong.

    309

    What I was able to find shows that technically Elizabeth was correct. People of color were given the right to vote in 1870 and women were allowed to vote in 1920. The real issue is that the right to vote was not enforced until the 1960's for black people. I really would have thought that Whoopi would have known that…

    Elizabeth was right - black men were given the vote in 1870; women could not vote until well into the 20th century. I have a problem with Barbara Walters, a very important journalist, not knowing who voted first.

    Black suffrage. On January 8, 1867, overriding President Johnson's veto, Congress granted the black citizens of the District of Columbia the right to vote

    NO Whoopi was not wrong…. While the 15th amendment granted black men the right to vote … states created laws that required them to pass literacy tests in order to vote… or you were required to pay poll taxes.. In other words, some states tried to work ways around giving black men the freedom to vote like their white counterparts… preventing many people of color to FREELY vote in ALL states because thy knew that many blacks were poor and illiterate. It wasn't until the 1960's when the Voting Rights Act made it illegal to require literacy tests that many blacks were able to acheive what the 15th amendment provided for in all 50 states. Women were granted the right to vote in 1920, nearly 50 years after the 15th amendment, but if you were white chances are you had an education of some sort which meant you did not face the same issues as black men. Hasselback was "technically" right… but Whoopi's sort of right too…

    I like Elizabeth…… some of her views are a bit off in my opinion, but not everyone can be a democrat:P However she was right Blacks got the right to vote in 1867 (it was not taken away, how ever there were poll taxes a and literacy test which made it unfair). Women got the right it vote in 1920….. Indians got the right to vote in 1924. The poll taxes were abolished in the 1960's.

    322

    Unfortunately Elizabeth is right in theory. Black men were Constitutionally given the right to vote before women. But because of various Jim Crow laws and other roadblocks Black men were very seldom able to exercise this right. Shame on so many of us for not knowing these facts especially on MLK JR. day and during such an important presidential election.

    323

    You should really look up your history before making an ass clown statement. Perhaps your hatred for anything conservative overshadows your ability to research. Whoopi made a mistake - she was on live TV. You have no excuse.

  24. trs says – reply to this


    324

    while the 15th amendment of 1870 technically allowed black people to vote there were many barricades that were created to keep them from actually voting. these included the need to pass a literacy test, which was unfair since the literacy rate was much higher among white people as most blacks did not have the resources for educational advancement that whites did. in some cases the test would have to be taken by people who did not have a grandfather who had voted. as this was rare for black people during this time, they would be forced to take the test, which was said to be so difficult many educated people would fail. (similar to the test that must be taken to become american citizens today - it is quite hard, and many people who were born here would not pass - which can be noted by how many of us have confused our own voting history).

    women gained the right to vote in 1920 with the 19th amendment, and while some black men had had the right to vote since 1870, their right to vote was not widely recognized and practiced until the civil right act of 1964.

    so, depending on how you look at it both statements could be right.

  25. bubba says – reply to this


    325

    The Civil Rights Act of 1964 barred unequal application of voter registration requirements, thus finally allowing blacks to vote freely.

    326

    How embarrassing! Everyone knows that women were the last to be given the vote! That is why when Hillary campaigns with her mother (who was born before women had the right to vote) it is very touching.

    It will be interesting to hear how Whoopi apologizes to Elizabeth. I am not a fan AT ALL of Elizabeth or her politics, but this time she was right.

  27. T says – reply to this


    327

    Actually whoopi was both wrong and right–the 15th amendment allowed black men to vote after the end of the civil war, and women were not allowed to vote until the 1920s. however, numerous laws, especially in the south, kept black men from voting up until the mid-20th century (for example, the grandfather clause, which kept anyone whose grandfather had not been allowed to vote from voting. as most blacks' grandfathers had been slaves, this kept them from being allowed to vote). so elisabeth is wrong in that we are "less racist" than sexist because we let blacks vote first–since there were a lot of loop holes KEEPING blacks from voting. but whoopi is also wrong, since black men were technically allowed to vote before women. basically we are racist and sexist. but prob more racist.

  32. KNOWyourHISTORY says – reply to this


    332

    Re: Mike – True…while blacks were given the right to vote earlier than women, there were laws in place to ensure that they would not be able to exercize that right, for example…while whites only had to sign their names, blacks were subject to such disfranchising laws like poll taxes, literacy tests, vouchers of "good character," and disqualification for "crimes of moral turpitude." These laws were "color-blind" on their face, but were designed to exclude black citizens disproportionately by allowing white election officials to apply the procedures selectively…it wasn't until 1965 when Presiden Lyndon Johnson signed the Voting Rights Act that all blacks were able to register to vote without the special loopholes that had previously kept them excluded…

    technically, Elizabeth was right…..the constitution gave black men the right to vote in the 1860s, a half century BEFORE women could vote, in the 1920's…. what Whoopie may have been talking about was the fact that southern states tried to prevent blacks from voting until the 1960's…they had the right to vote but couldn't exercise it until then.

    337

    Re: me
    WOW you're way off…take a history class. Blacks were given the vote with the 15th amendment but their ownership of land had no bearing on that right in the constitution and their vote definitely DID NOT count as 1/3 of a vote..you're clearly getting confused with the 3/5 compromise which was way before the 15th amendment when slavery was still legal..it stated that every 5 black slaves counted as 3 "people" when population was taken into account for representation in the House of Reps. Also, the blacks' right to vote was never "taken away".. there were Jim Crow Laws in the south which made it hard to vote what with the grandfather clause and poll taxes, intelligence tests, etc but there were certainly blacks in the north, and in the south, who voted. The voting rights act of the 60s reinforced and protected Blacks' right to vote..but never was it taken away. So before you start calling people idiots, learn something, or at least know what you're talking about. Seems like at least the "dumb blonde republican" knew the Constitution's history..and isn't it funny how the black woman did not know her own..

    What is really sad is that racists like Joy and Whoopi — and people like them — are continually given a platform to air their racist views. Allowing racists to define what constitutes "racism" (or sexism, for that matter) will only continue to foster confusion and hatred, and perpetuate the popular myths they espouse.

    um….yeah blacks where given the vote first people! Okay after the civil war slaves were granted citizenship, however this did not always involve the right to vote…thus the 15th amendment was passed in 1870 stating that race could not be used in denying voting rights. Women weren't given the vote until 1920…50 years later. People are confusing the constitution and rights with what was called "Jim crow laws". This is when people, mainly in the south, made rules and laws about voting to keep black men away from the polls.

  49. History Student says – reply to this


    349

    Black men were given the right to vote in the 15th Amendment, whereas women were given the vote in the 19th Amendment. Although many black men were unable to vote due to other state laws (primarily in the South), they gained the Constitutional right to vote before women did.

    For those of you who missed it - 15th Amendment was radified in 1870 that gave black men the right to vote and the 19th Amendment was ratified in 1920 giving women the right to vote.

    355

    The Fifteenth Amendment created a right for people regardless of race or color, however through various legal tactics, such as Jim Crow laws, grandfathering, and other means such as literacy tests, blacks were still being prohibited, in legal ways, from voting. It wasn't until the Voting Rights Act in 1965 that these means of preventing blacks were delineated and made illegal. Therefore, in this case, white women received a right to vote with the Nineteenth Amendment that was ratified in 1920. Women were not included in the Fifteenth Amendment.

    Therefore, from all legal perspectives, blacks were not legally permitted to vote in some areas until 1965 due to legal ways of dissuading or prohibiting them from voting.

    360

    First the history lesson -
    1868 the 14th Amendment is added granting Black men the right to vote. However, state officials deny this right by various means.

    1870 the 15th Amendment is ratified granting Black men the right vote, with the added phrasing which prohibits state and local government from denying the right to vote.

    1890 Wyoming is the first state to recognize women's right to vote and provide for it in a state constitution.

    1920 the 19th Amendment was ratified to the Constitution, giving ALL women across the nation the right to vote.

    Side note - while black men were granted the right before women… it must be noted that Jim Crow laws along with a openly hostile environment prevented black men and women from voting until as recently as 1965. There were poll taxes, literacy tests, and other obstacles that were unofficially sanctioned on the state and local government.

    Please remember before you post something mean and racist that no one is perfect. We all make mistakes and EVERY race has uneducated, ignorant, evil people who do evil things. By saying that one race is better than another, you are only contributing to the problem, not the solution. Please respect Dr. King's memory and stop the madness.

    Although the 15th Amendment was passed first, blacks still did not really have the right to vote, because of literacy tests, and grandfather clauses. The 15th amendment was really just for show in terms of voting. The grandfather clauses stated that previous generations of your family had to vote for you to be allowed to, but if you were black it was previously illegal to vote so despite the 15th amendment you still could not vote. Or you could take a literacy test but most slaves were not permitted access to books or education, thus could not read well enough to pass the test. So women did in fact get the right to vote first.

    People need to stop saying that black men were given the right to vote and then it was "taken away". It was never taken away, the US just had a bunch of ignorant polititians who created a bunch of ridiculous laws, or outright threats, to keep black men from voting. Personally, I feel that both sex and race are still huge issues in the US, which means that black women probably have it worse than anybody.

  64. Sammy says – reply to this


    364

    The fourteenth Amendment granted black men the right to vote after the Civil War. However, in the South there were many laws and regulations such as the Black Codes and the famous Jim Crowe Laws which oppressed black people. These laws require literacy tests and the "grandfather clause" to vote, which made it impossible for many former slaves to vote. Hence, black people before women.

    found this for you all…by the end of 1867, almost 735,000 Blacks registered in the southern states while about 635,000 white names were on the voters list. Voting was restricted to men, but women and children took part in political events.

    there is no older, deeply rooted, pervasive, pernicious oppression than sex-based difference (gender)

    372

    Actually Perez, Elisabeth (as much as I hate to admit it) was correct. Black men were able to vote as early as the 1870's - in fact, before the end of Reconstruction some black officials had already been elected to office. Even after Reconstruction was abandoned some black men (as long as they fulfilled several jim crow laws) were still allowed to vote several decades earlier than women. Women were not given the right to vote until the 20th century.
    I'm not a fan of Elisabeth, but in terms of actual history, she was right. However, Whoopi still has a point that although legally black people had the vote before women, practically they could rarely assert that right.

    Blacks got the federal right to vote in the 15th Amendment in 1870. Women had to wait 50 years later to get the vote in the 19th Amendment. But in practice, states still attempted to limit the blacks' right to vote. So, they were both sort of right.

    Either way, neither of them knows what the hell they're talking about and they should just shut up. I don't know why they think they are qualified to talk about these issues.

    As much as it pains me to say - Elisabeth was right.

    Blacks were given the right to vote in 1870. However, the south got away with denying the right by applying a poll tax. Eventually, that was scrapped. Women, didn't get the federal right until 1920.

    Looks like Whoopi needs a history lesson!

    yea, read the update! African American men actually DID get the right to vote LONG before women. (Like 1869 or something like that and women didn't get the vote until 1920). Granted a bunch of other laws (Jim Crowe) prevented from African American men from actually using their right to vote (literacy laws and such) so in a way, they didn't really get their right to vote until much later than women were allowed to vote. Either way, duh, what the real point here is that our government is a bunch of fucking idiots and people in America are racist AND sexist. Get over it. Kill ignorance not sex and color.

    Re: Truthbetold

    I am truly appalled by what I am reading right now. I don;t know where you come from or what fantasy land you live in, but blacks are not the reason for ALL the crime. Newsflash, some of the most heinous crimes have been committed by white people. Why would post something so racist on the ONE day that is supposed to be about racial reconciliation and forward movement within the country. Do me a favor and return to YOUR ancestors land, cause unless your Native American you do not belong here either. Oh wait, let me guess, your GREAT GREAT grandma was part cherokee… right?

    Grow up and grow a pair you effin loser.

    The 16th Amendment was passed in 1869, but most blacks couldn't freely vote for nearly another century because of poll taxes. So women could technically vote before blacks, but it wasn't until the 19th Amendment was passed in 1919 that women were legally allowed to vote.

    I disagree with Elisabeth's conclusion. This doesn't have anything to do with whether or not the country is ready for a woman or a black man to be President in the year 2008.

    actually elisabeth was right. Black MEN had the right to vote before any woman did…black or white women were not allowed to vote while black MEN (and white men) were allowed to vote.
    Whoopi was wrong.

    TECHNICALLY they are both right. African Americans were first allowed to vote in 1865. However until the Civil Rights movement, states passed laws that blocked many African Americans from being able to vote — so as African Americans were technically allowed to vote — it wasn't until the Civil Rights Movement when they actually took to the polls and all of the restrictions were removed. Women were able to vote in 1920.

    Technically, black men got the vote first. Other men of color were not necessarily included. In many places, this was merely symbolic as things such as polling tax and arbitrary literary requirements were put in place, as well as intimidation, to prevent blacks from voting. Women got the vote about half a century later.

    Elizabeth was correct. Black men had the right to vote before women. The right was never taken away from black men. Blacks may have had trouble voting in some parts of the country. Later federal voting acts simply reaffirmed the rights they were granted after the Civil War. Blacks were impeded from voting with such actions as a poll tax, which was a purely southern phenomenon.

    actually, black men were granted the right to vote before white women which sparked the women's suffrage movement so she is partially correct. therefore they argue gender oppression vs. racial oppression
