I don't really know how to explain that phenomena. Like why would women have reason to be racist? Idk. |
What the hell does this mean?
To feel superior? To ensure their spot next to the most powerful group in America? To guarantee the financial success of their husbands thus their families? For their own economic benefit? Because they grew up in racist environments? Because they're hateful?
I could go on and on but white women are white people at the end of the day. It's always shocking to see how blind men can be to their behavior.
Wives of slave owners were often the ones punishing children, house slaves, black household workers hired during the Antebellum period, etc.
They even sexually assaulted black men and women just like their husbands
Some hated that their husbands (or men in general) would use black female slaves for their sexual needs and punished black women and girls as a result
They cheered and brought their families to lynchings
Oftentimes the only people white women could be above in terms of power were blacks
They wanted to keep their neighbors pristine and white when immigrants arrived
They weren't trying to do the harsh labor they forced young black children and pregnant women to do
They gladly took advantage of the labor and cultures of various PoC in this country even claiming certain habits of their own
Again, there are a million historical examples. Acting like white women weren't actively involved in the formation of racism and its execution in this country is a huge misstep. Even in this election the majority of white women chose their religion (pro-life) or race over the humanity of other women, people of color, the LGBTQ community, etc. yet en masse no one drags them for being privileged, or puts them in the same category as white men when it comes to bigotry
Funny how every minority group in this country has been thoroughly examined when it comes to their
voting patterns but them. Funny how pundits were shocked that the majority of them voted for Trump when the majority of white women consistently vote for the GOP every time
another Bernie Bro who shockingly ended up supporting Trump, a racist, sexist man with the complete opposite views to Bernie. Funny how quickly you turned from far-left socialist to alt-right Republican 
almost like you don't have a clue what's going on, or maybe just jumped bandwagons because you don't really care about any issues? 
and stumped in PA/MI in time he could get that too. Although, I doubt he'd flip Ohio and Iowa since the Trump margins were big and he tapped into something. NC would still be out of reach (thanks voter suppression et al) and Florida's loss would be Castro comments. If he used his liberal who likes to visit the woods touch he could get Maine's point and increase the maximum to 279.
