Martha Stewart makes racist comment in wake of abortion decision

[myheyday]

As we mourn the loss of abortion rights, many whites (regardless of political affiliation) are using this situation to reveal their racism. The Fat Jewish, a leftist commentator on Instagram, left the following comment about the decision:

Even if Clarence is being quoted, and his face is spread all over social media, he isn't the only one who has those same views on same-sex marriage, contraception, and abortion. People should also use that energy on the 4 White justices who overturned Roe vs. Wade.

Also, as a cis gay man, I was really mad at many of the gay men (who were mostly White -- surprise, surprise) who didn't say a thing about Roe vs. Wade being overturned, but the minute Clarence's threat to same-sex marriage came out, they were like, "NOT OUR RIGHTS!" I swear, I had to check in on my girls, and one of them said, "Some of the most misogynistic men are gay men," and I swear. We gotta do better.

As with always people only respond to what physically effects them and their group.

I’m thinking how many people (white women) responded furiously to the overturn but maybe were quieter with things like BLM, dreamers, police brutality, stop Asian hate, etc…etc.

Cause the roars of the people are always different depending on the situations.

Yeah, you're right. It's just disheartening. It'd be nice if people just cared for everyone, but people really don't seem to care as much unless it impacts them directly or someone they love. I mean, you hit the nail on this one because Martha's comment is pretty much White feminism. She could have also said the same about the White women with their own internalized sexism.

Even though abortion can effect all women, it’s very much associated as a white women crusade and struggle.

I’m not saying that WOC aren’t involved but the way it’s presented it’s tv, news, movies and all other mediums and the faces seen at the forefront are white women.

I think I see a bit WOC on twitter/social than the media.

In general a lot of feminist uprising always have white women at forefront while purposely ignoring and undermining minorities.

It’s not always been the case but presently I’m seeing a lot of non-white individuals calling appealing roe a “white people problem” because they don’t know the historical background of it all

[genbu_no_miko24]

A lot of movements get seen as “white women/ people problems”.

Even the coverage, I’m convinced the news media purposely shows more white women than other minorities. Most of the pictures online are WW and I know there are WOC but it’s pretty clear how the narrative wants to be portrayed as.

why did i immediately think of taylor swift

[genbu_no_miko24]

Truthfully I wasn’t thinking about her!!

But Tay has treated this same as every other political situation, she only comes out when it’s safe.

[veritas_44]

Every single one of us has people we personally know who are loud, obnoxious pieces of shit who are frothing at the mouth at half of the population losing rights and who are the ones we need to focus on and your FIRST thought is “lol fucking Taylor Swift, amiright?”

Your brain is bad.

[powerranger]

i live in the middle of confederate flag waving, trump bumper stickers and flags, openly hating everyone country, i am well aware of the pos people who want to take away rights of group after group. and i also love taylor swift. it just reminded me of her political stances because she is typically only vocal about things that affect her personally.

i am very well aware my brain is bad and incorrectly thinks and processes things.

Facts.

[genbu_no_miko24]

Lol yeah, there is a more fiery response to this from them compared to things that don’t effect their livelihood.
