Casey Anthony Says U.S. Is Systemically Racist and Sexist, Rejects Claims White Men Are Marginalized

Casey Anthony, the high-profile figure often described as "America's most hated mom," has returned to public commentary with a Substack essay arguing that the United States remains systemically racist and sexist while disputing claims that White men are now victims of discrimination.

In her post, Anthony wrote that the country has a "long-standing history of discriminating against anyone who is not a white man," and pointed to slavery, voting restrictions, racial segregation and later civil rights legislation as examples of entrenched inequality.

"Our country has a long-standing history of discriminating against anyone who is not a white man,"

DEI, Amendments and Corrective Measures

Anthony referenced the ratification of the 13th and 15th Amendments and the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, saying these milestones — along with the rise of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) programs — were intended to correct historical exclusion rather than to punish White men. She described DEI's stated goals as hiring and advancement "without regard to race, religion, and national origin" and using affirmative action to ensure fair treatment.

She dismissed contemporary claims that White men are being unfairly penalized as "laughable and disgusting," arguing that such claims ignore the long arc of legal and social barriers faced by other groups.

Political Reactions and Local Debate

Anthony singled out Florida officials — naming Attorney General James Uthmeier — accusing state leaders of attempting to roll back anti-discrimination policies and of prioritizing protections for White men "at all costs." In response, Jeremy Redfern, deputy chief of staff to Attorney General Uthmeier, replied on X: "If only Caylee was alive to see @AGJamesUthmeier fight for a true merit-based system free from discrimination, but she was denied that opportunity."

The attorney general also issued a legal opinion this week concluding that certain Florida laws requiring state action based on race are unconstitutional under the 14th Amendment, a legal position that has fueled the broader debate over race-conscious policies.

Comments on Federal Accountability

Anthony's remarks followed her criticism of federal authorities after the fatal shooting of 37-year-old ICE agent Renee Nicole Goodby in Minneapolis. She accused federal officials — including Sen. J.D. Vance in public comments — of shielding agents from accountability and urged that no law-enforcement officials should enjoy blanket immunity.

Background

Anthony, now 38, was acquitted in 2011 of first-degree murder, aggravated manslaughter and aggravated child abuse in the death of her 2-year-old daughter, Caylee. A jury convicted her of lying to investigators; Caylee's death remains unsolved. In recent years, Anthony has used her Substack platform to comment regularly on law enforcement, civil-rights issues and politics.
