If you vote Republican, there's a good chance you're doing it because you want to "hurt people of Color." That's one of the messages from Everyday Feminism's new article, "Here Are the Real Reasons Why We White People Struggle to Admit That Racism Still Exists."
The author, Jamie Utt, says that "we whites" need to realize the evil we're perpetrating.
One of the "reasons" why white people can't admit that racism still exists is that "White People Have an Emotional Stake in Denying White Supremacy," he explains.
"Because that way, we can avoid dealing with how we’re complicit in its pervasiveness," Utt begins. "Admitting that we’re acting in racist ways or supporting racist systems is terrifying. And it hurts. Scarier still is doing the deep emotional reflection to understand the ways that we may be truly racist deep down."
He continues, "I have an emotional stake in reacting defensively to allegations that I have hurt a person of Color with my privileged actions. I have an emotional stake in pretending that my equitable values are in alignment with the world I create for myself."
Utt then claims that those who vote Republican do so "against our self-interests in order to enact policies that hurt people of Color."
He then links to an article from the Guardian titled, "Working class voters: why America's poor are willing to vote Republican." In the article, it accuses whites of voting for Republicans, at least partially, because of racism.
By doing such things, we "are living in a "culture of make believe,"" he writes.
"And when we defend racist systems and refuse to be self reflective about our complicity in them," Utt continues, "we turn our back on that core, connecting aspect of what makes us human."
He concludes, "By investing in Whiteness, we turn our backs on our own humanity."
NO I DON’T !
I vote Republican to hurt Feminists.
We call this Projection.
Voting for non-democrats... The new hate crime.
Miss Utt is apparently unaware of the history of the democrat party. Big surprise.
TRANSLATIONS: we can’t get this “feminism” thing to work, so we’re embracing Al and the racebaiters to strengthen our cause.

Perhaps we just like western civilization and all the benefits that ALL of humanity has derived from it. Plus, they always ignore the racism of Asians and the fact that they enjoy eastern civilization and all the good that it has brought to humanity.
Meanwhile, from African Civilization, the world gets nothing of benefit.
If you’re a boy and a Liberal Tool and your name is ‘Jamie,’ I’m not listening to you in the first place.
Women and minorities Hardest hit......
Oh the misery of it all
Another idiot who needs a good ignoring.
What a faggot.
People who habitually act in bad faith assume the same about everyone else
Mutually exclusive, a contradiction in terms.
By investing in progressivism we enslave people of color.
Every word out of a Marxist’s mouth is a lie. It is the opposite of truth.
So called whites have suffered and died to give opportunity to people of color. So called whites have given their wealth to educate children of color. It is those who are contemptuous of the efforts of all people to live together in harmony who are truly evil.
For generations my family has worked for the equality of black people. We have been opposed at every turn by liberals. They do not want equality. They want to control and enslave people of color.
Liberals have demanded ghettos for blacks.
Liberals have demanded the destruction of the black family. Liberals have perpetuated an unholy holocaust on black babies.
Liberals have continued what they have always done, enslave people of color while blaming the black man’s savior for his misery.
The end of liberalism in America will herald the dream of this great nation that all men live together in harmony.
Anything done or said by anyone else is taken by the paranoid as directed to the paranoid’s harm. I know a set of 9 siblings, 5 of whom have inherited the family demons and are Bi-polar or Schizophrenic or whatever the syndrome du jour might be. They are paranoids. They treat everyone the way liberals and leftists in general treat anyone who is not zealously supportive of their delusion.
Too bad we don’t have a party that has the guts to sue for slander.
He is stereotyping and that shows bigotry.
But whites who do the same are "racist", and that is the absolute worst sin.
I say, screw that. I will look out for the interests of my family, descendents, and friends. Call it what you want.
She is also unaware of which party pushed the abortion policies that have resulted in 6 out of 10 black pregnancies being aborted.
And although I don't have the numbers, I think it's safe to say that most murders of blacks are committed by either Democrats or those who support the Democrat party.
The last thing I want to listen to is some leftist/feminist telling me how I think and why.
Amazing, in just over 50 years American history has been rewritten 180 degrees, and we the people have let it happen.
