Because since white women got the right to vote like white men, black women had to fight for their right to vote with the black men. If feminism really cared for women, regardless of race or skin color, where were they during the civil rights movement?
your premise is false. women didn't get the right to vote until 1950. that was about 50 years after black men got the right to vote. in fact people like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Susan B. Anthony put aside women's rights in order to advocate for the end of slavery which paved the way for black male suffrage. black women and white women got the right to vote at the same time
They absolutely did not. In fact white feminists were outraged when blacks got the right to vote before they did. Figures like Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucy Stoner - who white-feminists worship - actually said racist things about blacks and other groups concerning voting, things along the lines of "Do you really trust an uneducated negro to make voting decisions?"
During the suffrage movement, white feminists also didn't want black women marching with them, and instead had them march in the back. White-feminism has always been about the preservation of white female privelage and the need to have free sex "like men," and almost never about any concern for women of other races.
yeah, unfortunately white feminism is a subsection. the real and helpful kind is intersectional feminism, which includes ALL types of women. women of color, trans women and other lgbtqia+ women, women of differing religions, classes, and backgrounds.
You’re not wrong as a historical fact but present day feminists care a great deal about POC rights. A lot of them are POCs.

The civil rights movement came decades after women got the right to vote. Prior to 1920, there weren't that many blacks living where suffragettes were pushing voting rights for women, so I doubt many of them thought to include black women in their protests.
It was called 2ed wave feminism. 3ed wave feminism because more inclusive because restraining part of your own movement just ends up shooting in the foot.
The likely answer is No. Our culture was only a few decades from believing Blacks were subhuman, like Democrats think Conservatives are.
Black men got the right to vote 1870. Women got the right to vote in 1920. What the hell are you on about?
feminism has it's roots in racism as does every other socialist agenda derived from Karl Marx's Communist Manifesto
Lol nope and they called themselves feminist hypocrites as always
They certainly destroyed the black family.
Go back to history class.
