"By your logic then freedom of speech, religion and assembly would only apply to white males."

No. That's not how the first amendment reads. Freedom of speech, the press, religion apply to all.

Freedom of assembly and the ability to petition the government were reserved to "the people".

“The People” are the same in the first, second and fourth amendments so you can’t pick and choose how you want define it. Nowhere in the Constitution does it state that the term “The People” refers to different meanings in different Amendments. It isn’t for your convenience that it changes meaning. The slip of your credibility has now totally exploded into blinding nonsense.
