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:

Comments

[sandstorm]

4817 people who think they're "woke" and "not racist" by liking that comment.

Many of those people seem to be in this post. It is very interesting how dismissive people get about racism when about racism when a black person is doing something bad.

Right like it's not 90% of ONTD's place to call him out like that.

idk maybe she wasn't the right messenger but she didn't say anything that wasn't true. Clarence Thomas has made it abundantly clear how he feels about the black community and blackness in general. He's literally Samuel L. Jackson's character from Django Unchained.

How’s Uncle Clarence feeling about Overturning Loving v Virginia??!!

clarence thomas certainly is, but miss old white lady stewart has no place commenting on that. that's between him and his community and non-black people shouldn't be inserting themselves into it, least of all for a zinger for social media likes

[ionadelfina]

Yet, Clarence Thomas has inserted himself in women's issues and lgbt issues and unlike Martha Stewart actually has the power to harm those communities in a material way. Real power not just social power. Can we stop acting like he's not one of the most powerful people in this country??? He doesn't need black people to defend him. And he's not part of the black community, he made every effort he could to make sure that he was not aligned with us. He is black in skintone only.

Justice Clarence Thomas followed up with "oh and btw sodomy laws decision is going to be overturned, gay marriage will be overturned, and purchasing of contraceptives decision is going to be overturned".

I don't care what people say about me, I will talk about those facts. And the fact that his wife, Ginny Thomas, is an insurrectionist.

[myheyday]

That's unfortunate that you believe criticizing racism is synonymous with criticiing gay rights. No one's going to criticize you because we know Thomas is looking at gay rights. I'm just wondering why people are using racism to attack these ideas.

[azetburcaptain]

No one should use racism against Thomas, I should have made that clear.

His wife is terrible, for instance, but she's a white woman. Amy Coney Barrett is a horrible person who is a cult leader, and she is on SCOTUS.

It's awful all around.

universally i wish all of them the worse in life😀

Clarence Thomas just said the court should now go after gay marriage, birth control, and the basic right to privacy. Notably absent: interracial marriage.

I hope these fuckers know no moment of peace for the rest of their entitled zealot lives.

you know someone in their family is going to need access to abortion as part of their healthcare. you know someone in their family who is in a same-sex relationship will be impacted by this. you know someone in their family who uses contraception for health reasons will be worse off.

it'll come back to them. it'll impact everyone around them first, but it always finds its way back.

[alterector]

Will it affect them though? They have the resources to go to the states that will still allow those things, and even then they won't be personally affected.
If it were to affect them, they wouldn't have overturned this, ie, Clarence on interracial marriage.

[windupbarbie]

Not racist. Uncle Clarence Ruckus has been in blackface his whole career. He gives no fucks about black people.

[myheyday]

Think the whites who are making these sort of comments also care about black people? People are using this situation to be racist. Clarence Thomas is a sellout, and this was a racist comment. Both things can be true at the same time.

[windupbarbie]

How exactly is what she said racist? Because she mentioned his race? That was the fucking point.

[myheyday]

Because Martha nor any other white person will ever be able to define what black identity is. When she said a black man who doesn't remember who is, What does she mean? Black people are not a monolith. Clarence Thomas is horrible,
but White people cannot revoke his blackness. That is not their discussion nor their place.

Again, where is her criticism of the white woman who also voted against abortion rights? She literally continued that Instagram's message by focusing solely on the black member and conveniently ignoring member who looks like her? There were two minorities who voted against abortion rights.

This is like another Trump election White liberals wanted to harp on everything but the 60% of white woman who voted him in period Focus on what is not being said as well.
