That's why the 1965 Civil Rights Voting Act was passed

The National Voting Rights Act of 1965 (42 U.S.C. § 1973–1973aa-6)[1]
outlawed discriminatory voting practices that had been responsible for
the widespread disenfranchisement of African-Americans in the United
States. Echoing the language of the Fifteenth Amendment to the United
States Constitution, the Act prohibited states from imposing any
"voting qualification or prerequisite to voting, or standard,
practice, or procedure... to deny or abridge the right of any citizen
of the United States to vote on account of race or color."[2]
Specifically, Congress intended the Act to outlaw the practice of
requiring otherwise qualified voters to pass literacy tests in order
to register to vote, a principal means by which southern states had
prevented African-Americans from exercising the franchise. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voting_Rights_Act

Women as a whole have accomplished much in politics compared to Blacks as whole. Therefore, women haven't always taken a back seat to blacks in regards to political matters even though Obama has won the Democratic presidential nomination over Hillary Clinton.

Since 1868, 121 African Americans have served in the United States
Congress. This figure includes five non-voting members of the House of
Representatives who represented the District of Columbia and the U.S.
Virgin Islands. In addition, in 1868, one candidate was elected to the
House but was not seated due to an election dispute.

There have been 5 African American senators in history. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/African_Americans_in_the_United_States_Congress

There have been 35 women in the United States Senate since the
establishment of that body in 1789, meaning that out of the 1,897
Americans who have served in the United States Senate since that time. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_the_United_States_Senate

Eighty-nine of the 245 women who have served in Congress are current
Members—74 in the House and 16 in the Senate. In total there have been
210 women Representatives, 28 Senators, and seven women who have
served in both chambers. http://womenincongress.house.gov/

there have been 29 female governors in history.
there have been 4 black governors in history

1965 Voting Rights Act
signed into law on August 6, 1965
using noon time

Eris in 11'29 Aries Retrograde
Lunar Nodes in 12'00 Gemini/Sagittarius Stationary
Sun in 13'57 Leo
(dealing with issues of diversity, advocacy,civil rights)

Venus in 14'32 Virgo
Uranus in 13'15 Virgo
Pluto in 14'57 Virgo
Saturn in 15'59 Pisces
Neptune in 17'14 Scorpio
(reform,transformation at odds with the old ways,status quo that involves idealism)

Mars in 21'16 Libra
Chiron in 21'48 Pisces Retrograde
Jupiter in 23'31 Gemini
(taking expansive action to address pain)

Declinations:
Mercury parallel Uranus - '18 - communicating change
Venus parallel Uranus - '00 - changing values
Venus contraparallel Saturn - '09 - values at odds with status quo
Sun contraparallel Eris - '59 - highlighting diversity matters
Saturn contraparallel Uranus - '10 - status quo and change at odds with each other
Neptune parallel Eris - '21 - dissolving ethnic barriers

interestingly....the Voting Rights Act chart has Sun in Leo,Sun in
Eris,Sun square Neptune like Obama. Obama's birthday(August 4th)is 2
days before the birthday of Civil Rights voting act. So their Suns are
in conjunction within 2 degrees and they parallel with, and so Sun-Sun
occultation.

Definitely Blacks are really exercised their voting rights that are
benefiting and vitalizing him.

synastry major aspects within 1 degree:

Civil Rights Act compared to Obama:

Sun oppose Ascendant - '19 - ego/self expression complementing personality
Stationary Lunar Nodes sextile/trine Sun - '32 - karmic path blends with ego/self expression
Stationary Lunar Nodes square Vertex - '44 - karmic path and fate are in strong friction but energizing each other...a strong karmic destiny with each other
Chiron oppose Mars - '45 - healing,wounds at odds with actions but complement
Ceres sextile Moon - '40 - nurturing blends with emotional nature...emotional support
Ceres square Venus - '45 - nuturing at odds with values
Jupiter square Mars - '57 - expansion,optimism in conflict with actions.....can be highly enthusiastic,motivating

Let me go further and suggest that anyone who would do so is a racist.

The Office of President is too important to be decided on the basis of race, age, gender, political affiliation nor is it anyone's turn.

This Office calls for integrity, character, competence, knowledge and experience. O'Bomber fails every test in those areas. Hillary fails in most.
