unfotunately, nothing :(
When the United States became an independent nation, white men (many of whom were property owners) were the first to be allowed to vote. Women and ethnic minorities (such as black people) were not allowed to vote in those early decades of US history. Black men got the right to vote after the civil war, and women (both black and white women) got the right to vote in 1920. Citizens between the ages of 18 and 21 got the right to vote in 1971.
No, black people do not exclusively vote for black people.
Black men began voting in elections in around 1870.

Men have always had the right to vote. In the early colonies the requirements were that they own land in the colony, but after the Constitution was signed this was dropped and men (expect black men) could vote.
Because they were either given or took that right.
The 15th amendment in 1870 gave black men the right to vote first. Women got the right to vote in 1919, a half century later. Even though former female, white abolitionists had organized and fought diligently alongside black male and black female abolitionists, several famous black male abolitionists abandoned the suffragettes in order to achieve their vote first. This caused a falling out between the two groups. Ultimately, black women, white women, and all women including those who had fought for abolition all had to wait a half century before getting the right to vote. Many black and white female abolitionists died before any woman was given the right to vote which was a disappointment to them for the rest of their lives. Similarly, black men held office for the first time right after the Civil War while women of all ethnicities' political opportunities, right to have property, and rights to divorce took decades longer to achieve than that of black men. The 14th and 15th amendments deliberately included language that would keep women of any ethnicity from enhanced rights.

February 3, 1870 when the 15 amendment was passed
Union Soldiers were sent to enforce the right of black men to vote
When the black men were allowed to vote as citizens, their votes counted as full votes. Previously, states had been allowed to count slaves as 3/5 of a person for the purposes of selecting Congressman.
she wished that all men, black and white could vote for what is best for America
