Elisabeth Hasselbeck Needs To Go Back To High School!
Filed under: Elizabitch HasselbeckSheri 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.

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!

Whoopi is just another black person who always wants to bring up how horrible blacks were treated when in fact her ignorant ass is wrong.
you guys are all idiots! black MEN got the right to vote after the civil war and women didn't get it until the 1920! haha! looks like your little joke backfired..you one sided politicval hypocrite!!!hahahhaahah oh sweet sweet delicious vindication (of sorts) ..so doesn't this little blunder make you realize something sweetheart?..it's woman's turn bitches!!! my my, but wouldn't using this argument make you a gay little sexist in your own right?
The appropriate thing to do would be for Whoopi to apologize. She couldn't have sounded more condescending when she was actually the incorrect one. Not only did freed slaves get the right to vote first, it was a good 50 years before women did, as many others have pointed out. I like frivolous gossip as much as anyone, but it is a shame that more people know Britney's every movement than know basic U.S. history.

people people - while the 15th amendment did predate the 19th amendment the allowances of black men being able to vote was absolutely unforseen. Jim crow laws, citizenship tests, and grandfather clauses entirely hindered african american individuals the ability to even exercise their constitutional rights. once the bill was passed for women in the 1920s african americans were still denied their right to free exercise - therefore while elizabitch might've been technically right whoopi is not, by any means, wrong
read a fuckin' book.
Daniel is EXACTLY right.
Women got the right to vote in 1920, Black MEN got the right to vote in the years after the Civil War, although it was very hard for them to actually vote because of illegal poll taxing and tests to see whether they were literate or not.
Gosh, people are such idiots sometimes, learn your country's history!
Black men = around late 1860's. Most were affliated with some political group but would often not vote due to racism and threats. Women = 1920. In 1965, a law passed saying it was illegal to keep blacks from voting.
I think it's pathetic that Whoopi was wrong, but more so that Elisabeth immediately backed down and said something like "oh yea, whatever…that's what I meant". Just goes to show you that most people on TV don't know SHIZZ!
Sorry but the girl knows her shit….quit hatin on her! Happy niegro day!
Black men could vote wayyyy before women could. The aboliton movement started way before women sufrage.
WHOOPIE AND PEREZ ARE RIGHT!
1920 = 19TH AMENDMENT: FULL VOTING RIGHTS OF WHITE WOMEN
1965 = CONGRESS VOTING RIGHTS ACT: FULL VOTING RIGHTS OF BLACK MEN AND WOMEN. BLACKS REQUIRED TO HAVE LITERACY TESTS AND PAY POLL TAX IS NOW ILLEGAL.
BLACKS [AFRICAN-AMERICANS] DID NOT BECOME CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES UNTIL 1965
WHITE WOMEN BECAME CITIZENS OF THE UNITED STATES IN 1920
VOTE FOR BARACK OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!
Lizzy was right. Sorry to say.
typical that you would name call before you even knew what you were talking about. Just shut up already you fat disgusting fuck
She was right.. 15th ammendment in 1869 gave blacks the vote,…19th ammendment in 1919 gave women the right to vote. Yuo all need to relax. Whoppie is the real idiot here….
Re: Tiffany – uhhhh…women got the vote in 1920 dumbass
Elizabeth (unfortunately) was right and Whoopi made the mistake and acted like she was right and so wise when she had it twisted, and Elizabeth, being the stupid bitch she is, just agreed and said OH I'M SORRY! I GOT IT MIXED UP! THAT'S WHAT I MEANT! When really, it wasn't. She meant what she said first. They're all idiots on that show! Especially Barbara! Then Elizabeth, especially since she thinks she's second in command for some reason.
why do you crackers always run to defend the vanilla cookie? you are all in a guilt ridden fantasy land. this country was built on the backs of non-whites, just like commie slave labor in china is kicking our asses now. that's a fact and that's how you all got rich. just cause elizabitch is a hottie, don't mean she's right. ask the black man down south in the sixties who got the vote first, women or african americans. shit man, don't you remember the dred scott case where our own supreme court ruled that black men didn't account for a total human being. what the f. what kind of nazi, fascist shit is that. oh, not in america huh.
It is a crying shame that this IDIOT is back. "The View" was SO MUCH BETTER WHILE SHE WAS GONE. Elisabeth's voice is soooo annoying and Joy Behar's is right behind her.
Did you all see the jerk talking about her breast pump the other day? YUCK!!! We all know you had another very homely baby, Elisabeth. Stay home and take care of your two obnoxious brats. Maybe Grace would be better liked if you took a PARENTING CLASS!

Daniel is EXACTLY right.
.
The 15th amendment was resisted by the state officials who refused to enforce it and created all sorts of underhanded but legal roadblocks that would effectively prohibit blacks from voting while not directly making them ineligible based on race.
.
It wasn't until 1965 that the Voting Right Act was passed to counteract state resistance and officially guaranteeing the rights of black voters. For example, it banned basing the right to vote on literacy tests (which was but one tactic that many southern states used to keep many blacks from the polls long after the 15th amendment in 1870, right up to the early 1960s).
.
So really, neither Elizabeth or Whoopi is really wrong.
Re: Whatever –
as a white women, i would just like to say fuck you. it is not the
'privileged white people" that are blind to the truth..it is people like you that make everything black vs. white. get over yourself, you sexist ignorant jerk.
I'm actually really surprised Elisabeth got it right. Black women got to vote the same time as white women. Since over 50% of the population is women then a women could become president if all of the women would vote together. That would never happen though.
15th amendment passed in 1870: gave every MAN regardless of color or national origin the right to vote; 19th amendment passed in 1920 gave women the right to vote. Although there were several restraints on the ability of black men to vote (literacy tests, poll taxes, etc.), Whoopie is an idiot.
ELISABETH IS RIGHT!!! WHOOPI IS A DUMBASS TRYING TO MAKE BLACK PEOPLE MORE SUPRESSED!!!! VOTE FOR HILLARY!!!

14 amendment- blacks get the vote
19th - women get the vote
moron
14th comes before 19th
wait why was the civil war fought?
dumbass!!!!
#511 - Andrea says – reply to this
It is a confusing topic, but Whoopi is right. Although the fight started for black men in 1865, they were not guaranteed the right until 1965, some 35 years AFTER white women received the right in 1920. The 15th Amendment was added to the constitution in 1870 to protect black voting rights. Many black men voted over the next decade, but then many states started passing laws essentially blocking them from doing so. Some required voters to pass literacy tests or to pay poll taxes. Since most blacks had been slaves, few had any money or were able to read and write. This essentially made is impossible for them to vote. It remained this way until 1965.
Actually, forget my last post. Andrea's post is way better and explains it with far more clarity than mine or Daniel's!
Whoppi is wrong, she needs to go back to school. I hope someone told her so:
It was the first law in U.S. history that extended the ballot to African-American men. Under the bill, every male citizen of the nation’s capital who was 21 or older became enfranchised. The exceptions were welfare or charity cases, those under guardianship, those convicted of major crimes and those who had voluntarily sheltered Confederate troops or spies during the Civil War.
I love how so many people are so quick to call Elisabeth stupid, when in fact they are the ones who are wrong. It just goes to show how ignorant people can be.
People of color were technically given the right to vote after the Civil War and the passing of the 14th and 15th Amendments. Women were given the right to vote after the passage of the 19th Amendment in 1920. However, states still found ways around letting people of color vote (literacy tests, poll taxes, etc.) until 1964 when the Civil Rights Act was passed and the 24th Amendment. These two pieces of legislation closed all loopholes that any state could use to limit any person's right to vote.
Women weren't given the right to vote until AFTER black men. Look back. It was a huge part of the 1920's.
Maybe we could all use a little history lesson my ass! Maybe YOU could learn a little history lesson. Don't include the informed into that category.
15th Amendment
Sect. 1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
19th Amendment
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex. Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
um…Elizabeth was right.
Someone may need a history lesson, but it's not her!
Whoopi was DEAD wrong -
African American (MEN) were given the right to vote in 1870 when the 15th Amendment was ratified to state that the right to vote shall not be denied on the basis of race, color or previous position of servitude (slaves).
Women, on the other hand, were not given the right to vote under the 19th Amendment until Aug 26th 1920…
I'm not even American and I know that!! I'm Canadian!
SO, looks like Whoopi was way off by 50 whole years! Pisses me off when ignorant people bully other people. Too bad Elisabeth didn't have the confidence to stand up to Whoopi and say "NO, I'm right!"
Perez - what's your level of education? You are funny and I enjoy this site, but you constantly prove your lack of an education, or at least you often do not apply it here. Fine. We get it. You disagree with Elizabeth's politics. Most of the time I do, too. But, this woman is not stupid by any means. She has a good education, is fairly well-versed on a lot of topics and was an outstanding NCAA athlete in her own right. Disagree with her, but be fair, and cut the name calling, fat-ass.
)
15 amendment….sufferage for african americans.
elisabeth was right, whoopi was wrong. maybe you should verify your claims before you post stuff… it only makes you look like the moron!
I learned about this last year. Basically, Blacks got the right to vote right after the Civil War. However, after reconstruction passed, new rules such as a poll tax and the grandfather clause made it difficult for any blacks to vote down south. However, I believe they could still vote in the north. In 1920, women were granted the right to vote througout the U.S. (although they were allowed to vote in some western states already). It wasn't until the Civil Rights movement in the 60's that blacks were able to vote down south again.
So blacks WERE granted the right to vote years before women were. Hope that clears things up a bit.
15th amendment 1870 - newly freed MALE SLAVES had the right to vote
1869 1st woman had the right to vote only in Wyoming to increase population of women because of all the men in the state 19th amendment 1920- nationwide women were able to vote
So actually women did vote before blacks had the right to! Know your history!
The only thing Elisabeth did wrong was second guess herself!
Perez you need to change the header on this post - it's making you look as dumb as Whoopi!
I think you should change the heading of this post. You need to stop putting down Elizabeth, she's clearly smarter than the others on this program.
Re: Jamie –
I agree. Most people on tv don't know anything. It's too bad people on a talk show being watched by millions don't do any research before they open their mouths.
That's ridiculous. Black men were given the right to vote when they abolished slavery. Women weren't allowed to vote until the Civil Rights Movement. I love how Whoopi says it in that condescending tone making Elizabeth feel dumb when she was right in the first place. THE REPUBLICAN WAS RIGHT
Well they're both right and wrong. Women were granted the vote in 1920-under the 19th Amendment. Blacks were allowed to vote in 1870, however, the Jim Crow laws, the KKK and low literacy levels made it impossible to do so. It wasn't until 1964's Civil Rights Act that all blacks were given full right to the franchise.
Elisabeth was right. Women received the right to vote in 1920. Blacks (but not black women) received the right to vote with the 13th amendment (1865). It is easy to look up if you want to read more.
Free blacks voted in some northern states from the beginning. After the Civil War, Reconstruction governments in the South let blacks vote on a state by state basis as soon as the governments were established. The 15th Amendment prohibiting states from denying the righht to vote on the basis of race or previous servitude was adopted in 1870; but by then blacks were already voting in all states
Whoopi Goldberg needs a history lesson. Though Hasselbeck should have been informed enough to argue her case. Who the fuck watches this shit anyway?
Whoppie Goldberg needs a history lesson.
After trying to watch The View today I had to shut it off. Elizabeth has an attitude that, to me, is very offensive. Who does she think she is? Finally, today, I had seen her prissy, I am better than you, actions that drove me over the edge. When she was out having her baby the show was so-o-o-o much more
interesting..Get rid of her. Your audience will increase….
Elizabeth was correct and Whoopi was wrong. I'm a history teacher and as I was watching that I was thinking that was Whoopi was mistaken which she barely admitted later on in the show. I'm not a fan of Elizabeth really, but she did have her facts straight.
Ok people, I hate to say this but Whoopi is wrong I am currently taking US History 2 in school and the African American MEN got the vote first, its all part of the 14th and 15th amendments which were added to the constitution in the late 1800's. Women didnt' get to vote until 1920 when the 19th amendment was ratified.
Perez is Cuban so what the fuck does he know about the US Constitution? His family probably sneaked into the country and pissed on it, then set up a burrito stand somewhere.
LOL
Whoopi will spin it tomorrow saying she was talking about black women. Spin spin spin.
Everyone that thought Elisabeth was wrong should go back to MIDDLE SCHOOL and learn it again.
It hurts me that there are so many fucking stupid people out there. The government should make a law that says people need to pass a test before they can vote because all these morons out here sure as hell shouldn't be allowed to vote, let alone breed.
Haven't watched that show much since Rosie left. It's just too boring without her.
Nobody even bothered to mention the Voting Rights Act of 1965, which actually brought the 15th Amendment into full fruition. Prior to that, many blacks were still disenfranchised.
black men could vote before ANY woman. however, jim crowe, etc. kept most eligible black males from actually being allowed to cast votes. But to be technical, black men were constitutionally allowed to vote before women were given the constitutional right in 1920. Jim crowe laws, especially in south, continued to prevent black people from voting until they were abolished during the Civil Rights movement.
you're all dumbasses, blacks were given the right to vote before women.
Blacks won the vote in 1870, women in 1920. (that's not to say either group has had an easy time getting to actually vote)
Why are all of you blind liberals not calling Whoopie a dumb cunt for being completely wrong? Blacks were constitutionally given the right to vote in 1870, even though some states defied the constitution and denied them that right. Kind of like how some cities defy the constitution and outlaw gun ownership. This is why the federal government should ALWAYS enforce the constitution completely!!!
That's pretty petty, Perez. I'm sitting here at a library with my girlfriend and we both admitted that neither of us really knew the answer off-hand. We both got 5's on our AP US History exam. She's in law school and I'm getting a Master's degree.
i Was so confused. i could have swore blAcks got the right before women, so glad to know my american history is still in tack..
Re: dumbfucks –
ummmm….I didn't say Elisabeth was wrong, I said she was a narrow minded, George Bush loving embarrassment! Sorry you can't comprehend what you read….
Perez,
The 15th amendment (all races can vote) was passed in 1870, the 19th (women can vote) amendment was 1920. Duh and shame on you for calling her Elizabitch because she was correct! Dumbass.
Well, Daniel beat me to it. I don't understand how people can say things without proper research. Whoopi was not incorrect in her statement. Yes, Amendment XV granted black people the right to vote in 1870, however, Jim Crow took away all rights for people of color to vote. It wasn't until President Johnson's Civil Rights Act of 1964 that acknowledged black people as equal citizens and granted them equal rights.
Like I've been saying all along. She's stupid, dumb, ignorant, ill-informed, prejudiced, bigoted, holier-than-thou, and militantly conservative for all the wrong reasons. Blind and insensitive to all those UNlike her. And with her mouth wide open broadcasting all the above louder than anyone. She's just a Survivor contestant. No other claim to fame or platform whatsoever. A Survivor contestant.
Why did she get to return to The View? It was so much better without her.
Susan B. Anthony tried to vote along with 150 other woman across the U.S. in the Nov 1872 election. However, she was (the only one) arrested. These women were testing whether the 14th and 15th amendments would apply to them. Of course those amendments didn't apply to women and at her trial she was declared guilty and fined $100. She didn't pay it. Women also weren't allowed to own property if they were married and didn't have legal rights to their children.
Here's a quote from the Democratic Party in 1894 "We oppose woman suffrage as tending to destroy the home and family, the true basis of political safety…we express the hope that the helpmate and guardian of the family sanctuary may not be dragged from the modest purity of self-imposed seclusion to be thrown unwillingly into the unfeminine places of political strife"
In 1870 - the Wyoming and Utah territories granted women the right to vote. Utah rescinded them in 1887 and in 1896 gave the right back. Colorado in 1893 and Idaho in 1896 gave women the right to vote too. Many more states granted voting rights to women after 1906…
Hillary Clinton for President!
HAHAHAHAHA!!! Whoopi being both a female and black should know the answer to this question. Black MEN were given the right to vote 50 years before women!!!! 15th and 19th amendments. So quick to doubt Liz…you all look like IDIOTS!!! P.S. Elizabeth ROCKS!!!
I love Whoopi. BUT she is WRONG. Black men got the right to vote many mnay years before women
I hate to admit it, but Elisabeth was right..I can't stand her, but she was correct. She should have stuck up for herself, and had the dates prepared to throw at Whoopi instead of backing down. She also should have stressed that only black men could vote, not women, in 1870.
Native Americans were not allowed to vote until 1924~when they were finally considered citizens of their land.
But even after that it was the states decision whether Native Americans could vote.
In some states it wasn't until the late 50's that Native Americans were allowed to vote.
Now thats some real fucked up shit.
Christ.
I'm not a fan of Hasselbeck but she is right blacks were given the right to vote before women. Women couldn't vote until the 1900's, black men could vote after the civil war. But there were a lot of restrictions for black men to vote especially in the south. This is basic history, we should know about this stuff like we know about celeb's lives.
i love how whoppi was completely condescending towards elizabeth. i don't even like elizabeth but she was right today and whoppi attacked and elizabeth totally backed down. you would think a show like the view would have fact checkers or something! black MEN received the right to vote in 1870 with the 15th amendment and women were not granted suffrage until 1920 with the 19th. that is a 50 year difference. don't jump so quickly next time whoppi.
wow perez, you could use a little educating yourself. womens suffrage took place in 1920. This is long after the black man was allowed to vote even though many tests were given which ultimately prevented them from being able to vote. I would be willing to guess that the majority of the people who comment on this site don't have a clue about anything that is going on in the world. dont get me wrong, I frequent daily but I also seek to educate myself on real world issues! You people shouldn't hate on Elisabeth so badly. She is an American just as all of us(I AM ASSUMING) and has the right to feel and say what she pleases. She may not agree with what you or someone else thinks but she pays taxes just like you and I. Get over yourselves people. You are all a bunch or crybabies. It is really scared to think that you can hate someone you have never met regardless of their views!
First of all, black men got the right to vote a in the late 1800's, but stupid james crow laws made it pretty much impossible for that to happen, then it was restated again soon after, then in 1920 women (ALL women) got the right to vote. However, it was still hard for black people to vote due to registration tests and so on. So, technically Elizabeth was right and Whoopi needs to learn her history.
Perez, now that you see that Elisabeth wasn't wrong how about you take down the video or at least change the title. Still calling her Elisabitch for no reason just shows how crass you are!
Other territories and states granted women the right to vote in the late 19th and early 20th century, but national women's suffrage did not come until the Nineteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution was ratified in 1920.
* 1870
First African-American to vote in an election under the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution, granting voting rights regardless of race: Thomas Mundy Peterson
Although the Fifteenth Amendment established particular voting rights, and gave Congress the authority to enforce those rights and regulate the voting process, the vote was still allowed to be withheld from most southern blacks and from non-white minorities throughout the U.S., from the post-Reconstruction era through the 1960s.
President Johnson signed the Act on August 6, 1965. The bill intended to enforce the Fourteenth and Fifteenth Amendments, aiming to eliminate various previously legal strategies to prevent blacks and other minorities from voting.
Shamzy…….
What are you talking about? women didn't get the right to vote till the 1920's.
Whoopi is correct. African Americans got the vote in 1905. Women in 1920, under the 19th ammendment. Elisabeth needs to get her fact straight before she starts flapping that pompous mouth of hers.
HAHAHAHAHAHA PEREZ YOU JUST MADE YOURSELF LOOK LIKE SUCH AN IDIOT. YOU START WITH GETTING ALL HIGH AND MIGHTY AND MAKING FUN OF ELIZABETH, AND THEN IT APPEARS SHE WAS RIGHT AND YOU NOW LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT.
HOW ABOUT YOU TAKE YOUR OWN ADVICE AND HAUL YOUR FAT ASS BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL WORTHLESS DUMB BULLY.
Perez I love you but black men had the right to vote before women of any race. Yes it was hard and yes not til the voting right act passed in the 60s ended any barriar for blakc people
elisabeth was right
and you should get off her ass
women not until 1928. blacks in 1870. 15th amendment. come on peeps
BOTH INSTANCES
SHOULD BE REFERRED TO AS
"THE GOOD OLD DAYS"!!!!!!!
I hate to say it, but elizabeth was correct. now we're only speaking constitutionally. we're not speaking of illegal intimidation of black voters in the south.
what a fucking idiot…Whoop, who I thought would add a more intelligent dialogue than the more annoying Rosie, is a bigger fucking moron. Ugh what a smug jerk..how she smiles.."No it's ok Elizabeth"…….Whoopi get the facts, READ!!!!!
blacks (men) could theoretically vote in 1870 with the passing of the 15th amendment whereas women couldn't vote until the nineteenth amendment was ratified in 1920.
I wonder how idiotic the dumbasses that left all the ignorant comments about how stupid Elisabeth is feels. SHE was right, not Whoopi. YOU, Perez, and all the other dumb fucks that left those comments are the ones that need to go back to school. How stupid do you have to be? My GOD…you need to get your facts straight before you post an entry on how someone else is stupid…
PEREZ!!!
I'm sorry to let you know this, but all the answers saying "women" are wrong. The women of the US earned the right to vote with the 19th Amendment, MEN of color with the 15th.
"Black voters came out strongly for the Republicans in the 1868 elections, helping Grant win the presidency." … "but women would not receive the right to vote until 1920."
yes, theoretically blacks were able to vote before women according to the fifteenth amendment. but they had to pass a literacy test — which many could not do — in order to place their vote. that was one of the major bars allowing the government to prevent blacks from voting. the voting rights act — passed in 1964 allowed them the freedom to vote without the test. women on the other hand, had been voting for over 40 years prior to that. the 19th amendment, ratified in 1920, gave women the right to vote.
as per usual, Perez making huge & inaccurate assumptions. You're a-hole Perez, why are you so holier than thou? Get overyourself, you fat fvck.
Whoopi is wrong and Elizabeth is right. Black men were granted the constitutional right to vote after the Civil War. Of course the KKK and other bigots had something to say about that and most blacks were not free to vote until the 1960's due to discriminatory practices at the polling places such as poll taxes and literacy qualifications. But the US Constitution gave voting rights to black men before women.
U flip out when u think ElizaBETH makes a mistake, but say nothing when Whoopi does!!
BIAS MUCH???
Woopi was wrong lol i knew it i still hate hasselbeck though
Can't stand Elizabitch.
Silly Whoopi Goldberg.
Yes, she was wrong.
Black men got the right to vote waaaay before women (white or black) got the right to vote.
The fifteenth amendment (1870) made it law for MEN of any race able to vote. The nineteenth amendment, which didn't come around until sometime in 1920, guaranteed the same rights to women. Fifty year difference. Very noticeable.
Silly Viewgirls. : )
- Hayley
Black men were granted the right to vote with the 15th amendment in 1870. Women were in 1920 with the 19th admendment. Southern states made it impossible for black men to vote with threats, the KKK, poll taxes and so forth. Go to school people. Yes, technically Whoopi was wrong.
Blacks were able to vote before women!!!!! Dumbass!
First of all, blacks had the right to vote some 50 years before women, so Whoppi was waaaay wrong.
Second, what the hell does Whoppi mean by us? Is the black community the only one she wants to recognize?
Stop spreading all the liberal garbage if you don't know what you're talking about.
Although, still don't like her, Elizabeth was right, Whoopi was wrong..
Black males after the Civil War. Jim Crow laws in the South were used to stop blacks from participating in politics. However black men could vote in the 1860s and did actively in the North and West. The 19th amendment proposed in 1919 finally gave women the right to vote.
We ALL don't need a history lesson, just PEREZ and Whoopi…no biggie that Whoopi got it wrong, but for you to POUNCE on it as an opportunity to mock Elizabeth (WHO WAS RIGHT) is pathetic and inflammatory.
Re: Gary – way to go moron, Blacks had the right to vote before women. Blacks got it after the civil war, and in many Southern States, they were disenfranchised through efforts of local governments to keep them from voting. Black men were given the right to vote with the 15th amendment. Women were not given the constitutional right to vote until 1920. Blacks were voting in the North long before women. Check your facts.
Naturally Elisabeth was right, and Whoopi was wrong!
right to vote: 1870 Black
1920 Women
thank you Elizabeth!!!!!!!!!!!!
KnowYourHistory is correct. It was passed in congress but many blacks and native indians were not allowed to vote due to Jim Crow. To add to what KnowYourHistory said, you also couldn't vote if you didn't own land which included sharecroppers. By the way Jim Crow happened in the north as well as the south.
seeing this post, watching the video and reading a lot of the comments is HILARIOUS. first of all, as was said, Elizabeth was right! THEN whoopi acts all holier than thou to correct her. THEN a panel of 5 or 6 women (including fricking Barbara Walters!) just accepts that Whoopi was right. THEN perez posts it. THEN dozens of people post that "Elizabitch" is such a moron, she should go back to high school. i mean, seriously? are there so many idiotic people out there?
i guess thats what you get on a celebrity blog site.
TAKE DOWN THIS HEADING ABOUT ELIZABETH NEEDS TO GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL.
WHOOPI IS THE ONE WHO NEEDS TO GO BACK TO HIGH SCHOOL!
Perez you are so quick to want to think bad about Elizabeth you made this quote before you got your facts straight. Perez if anyone is a dumb ass it is you these women are on live t.v. where it is easy to make a mistake but you could review your facts before you blog but you don't, you are the true dumb ass.
