They're history didnt start as soon as they came into contact with the white man.

We're talking about American history; you yourself said as such. American history is all about White men doing things while preventing--sometimes violently--minorities and women from being able to achieve the same things.

What relevance does teaching African history as you suggested later on have with Black Americans wanting to learn about the contributions of Black people to American history?

And womans predicament was the same regardless of time, race, religion, culture, country, state, kingdom, tribe, town or even continent. So I have no idea why you're singling out whites in this regard.

Because White women were still discriminated against and were barred from pursuing the same opportunities that their male counterparts could.

Minority women already had the stigma of being minorities working against them. But White women, despite being of the "superior race", still were not able to pursue and achieve the same goals that their male counterparts could.
