Was Elizabeth Cady Stanton racist?
The short answer, in my opinion is yes. My sources of information come fromwikipedia.com. The reason being is that after the civil war ended, members of the Woman's Suffrage Movement were against the 14th and 15th Amendment and strongly lobbied against it because it didn't guarantee women the right to vote. It angered members of the Women's Suffrage Movement and made them not want to support the Abolitionists any longer. Well, my first point about this is, our country just got through a civil war. Just as in the Revolutionary War, during the Civil war, Black soldiers proved their worth in society at the cost of camaraderie and bloodshed. This can be found in James Loewen's book "Lies My Teacher Told Me". You would have to imagine the number of people dead during this time, the families broken, both sides really lose because they were all U.S. citizens. Stanton held an "all or nothing" position" against supporting the passage of the 15th amendment (Source: wikipedia). I think it was a selfish position to hold personally because we just came out of a war that was fought over slavery. Women's rights couldn't have been the most important issue at the time. Could she not at least wait for a better time? Even when the 19th Amendment was passed, it said that everyone regardless of gender could vote, but was this really effective? It didn't really happen until the Civil Rights Act of 1964 because before then, the colored vote really was not really guaranteed. Although the 19th Amendment couldn't be any clearer, the Woman's Suffrage Movement has failed to actually give colored women a secure vote, even 17 years after Elizabeth Stanton's death. I think that Elizabeth Stanton showed her true colors after the passage right before and after passage of the 15th Amendment. Her anger created divergence and she resorted to ethnic slurs, she made it sound like the woman's vote was more important than the vote for the colored men. -MysteryManoLove, YouTube.com

No - Cabinet Ministers are Members of Parliament that hold significant office within government. Examples of Cabinet Ministers in Britain are the Foreign Secretary and Chancellor of the Exchequer. MPs (Members of Parliament) are elected, and can become members of the cabinet. However they are not necessarily cabinet ministers. MPs that hold no cabinet position are often referred to as "back-benchers", which refers to their position in the House of Commons (hence not on the Front Bench, of either the ruling party of the opposition).
