#notallwomen is basically what you're saying.
They are individuals. And as individuals, 53% voted for trump. And even before then, helped maintain and enforce White Supremacy.

Heh, I'm reading that too. She kind of comes off as just extraordinarily sheltered in that regard, but the book usually doesn't pull punches about its subjects so I don't see why Chernow would sugarcoat her of all people. Either way it's a shitty look.
That's only a few percentage points but that's actually not true either.

It's 47% for Trump versus 45% for Hillary so you could say a majority didn't even vote for Trump.
As I said, that's actually not true.

No shit?
What exactly is the intent of posting an article like this on International Women's Day?

Thanks for this. Some people get weirdly giddy about continually posting that percentage meme and protest pic.
And yeah, some side eye for this topic on this day in particular.
Yep. Frederick Douglass was an early partner/ally of hers in this, but she ditched him and went full racist after Southern white women started to get on board the suffrage movement.
Good call out. Honestly until now I thought the 53% was official. This is the first time I ever noticed the "exit polls" and time stamp on the graph lol.
loling and side eyeing
The folks in this thread, that feel any type of way with this being brought up on woman's celebration month.

Let not just ignore the fact that it's even that close of a split.
That part about the rocking chair was fucked.
Also, I honestly didn't know about the "raping black women just so they could become wetnurses for white women" thing.

Just think of the most fucked up shit and then understand that it was a reality for a lot of slaves. For some really cruel shit to be enacted upon them.
This. The majority of white women also voted for Trump sooooo, so it's weird that anyone would find this remotely surprising.
Yeah I knew slaves were raped, but I didn't know they sometimes timed the rapes on some industrial level shit.
You all keep framing this as they voted for 45 a couple of years ago and ignoring the history that this is about. We are talking about WHITE WOMEN SLAVE OWNERS.
Now how white women still are on this is where we need to go.

I don't want to get "not all white people," but obviously most white people didn't own slaves.
i dont know about perfectly fine. It didnt take very long for violence to culminate in war after moral suasion failed.
Wow, 47% instead of 52%, a difference so little even that article calls it insignificant
It's still basically half of white women who voted
My point is that the majority of white female voters didn't vote for Trump.
Creating a narrative that the majority of white women for Trump divides us and I'd rather people not buy into it.
Most were accepting or complacent, which is how it continued for so long.
It's weird how many people are angry about this article.
This shouldn't be new to people, but the general public understands topics through television and traditional portrayals through media.
They don't dig deep into slavery and the inheritance of "property" among white slave owners.
I think it's also about confronting the fact that racism and the draw to exerting supremacy over another human being is a human sociological problem which given the evidence of history does not split on gender lines.

Hmmmmmmm yeah I am suspect of OP, he hasn't made any comments but post a week old article published during BHM and an image. I don't see it as a coincidence he made this post on international woman's day.
It is no surprise white women were slave owners. But women have always been misrepresented or forgotten in history so maybe enough dont know, regardless we still need to talk honestly and openly about how white people owned and treated slaves
But yeah OP has been quite. I'm often suspect of OPs who post an article/image/story without their own opinion. They only want to be entertained. If he really wanted to promote the book or highlight the topic he would have added more of his own thoughts.

Or... It could be just a coincidence. See above for OP's post.
Still I will say that people who believe this dumb narrative were already racist as fuck anyway from my real life experience. To everyone else, this is no surprise.
And yeah it was pretty fucked up to post this on IWD regardless IMO but whatever.
Aaaaaaaaaand we're done
The next article is probably "pssh did you know the Democrats once liked slaves
Did I blow your mind"
In Susan B Anthony's defense she was using an ends justify the means approach to trick us white men into being more progressive and less selfish.
I think she realized after women getting the right to vote she could aim for other goal posts.

Water is wet.
But, glad this view is getting the attention it deserves. Where Im from, South Africa, white women pre-1994 are sometimes viewed as being reluctant actors to Apartheid... and that is so very far from the truth.

LOL @ the select users buttmad about this being posted on IWD. This story is perfect to post on this day since white women are universally seen as the drivers of the women's movement, and THEY are the ones who most need to know of the fuckshit their ancestors pulled against another group of women (black women) whom are - surprise surprise - apart of the same damn movement!
But of course, protecting the sanctity of whiteness and white supremacy matters more than giving this story with black victims involved attention.

This.
And also posters acting like this is just common knowledge when white people and history books have been trying to downplay the atrocities and impact of Slavery for centuries.
So why should I be blamed or even holded accountable for what "my" ancestors did?
News? In my African American Lit class we did a lot of reading from the Norton Anthology of African American Literature and it's full of stories of white women being complicate and actively cruel participants in slavery and general violence against black people.
So It's my fault some dudes were ok with slavery 100 years ago? LOL
You're white. So, statistically speaking...
I think I've changed my mind a bit on this topic now I just can't shake the feeling isn't for educational purposes, but for some dudes to hold some sense of a moral high ground on IDW. Feels skeevy.
So what if I'm white? I have to be blamed for everything white people have done in human history?
