I hear this argument often, does it specify white men in the constitution? If so, point me in that direction as I'm curious.

No, the constitution doesn't reference race at all, with the exception of the "excluding Indians not taxed" passage.

But it was broadly understood that states wouldn't allow black people to vote, and the constitution at the time didn't prohibit that.
