Supreme Court

[powerspc]

“President Biden said Thursday that he will announce his nominee to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer before the end of next month, and that that candidate will be a Black woman.”

I wonder sometimes if younger people have become so inured to racism that they don’t actually recognize it anymore? If you read that sentence above and didn’t think, “Wow! That’s probably the most racist thing I have ever encountered in my lifetime!” Then that’s what I’m talking about.

rac·ism
/ˈrāˌsizəm/

noun

1. the belief that different races possess distinct characteristics, abilities, or qualities, especially so as to distinguish them as inferior or superior to one another.

I am, sadly, old enough to remember when that sentence would have read:


“The President said Thursday that he will announce his nominee to replace retiring Justice Stephen Breyer before the end of next month, and that that candidate will be the most qualified candidate we can find.”

What a horrible mess we have made of this American experiment.

I must have been listening to Democrats better than you. What he said was racist. But I've heard many more racist things, from Democrats.

Here is one from Joe Biden before he had dementia: "you think I want my kids to go to school in a racial jungle?"

Poor kids are just as smart as white kids.

 

[Bullfrog08]

Of course.....as if we are suprised.

 

[Rlandry]

Lets appoint a Justice based on gender and color. Don't worry about qualifications.
We see how that's worked out with Kamala Harris.

It's obvious that experience, temperament, education, etc. have no bearing on Uncle Joe's selection process. I mean, just look at the leftist radicals he's appointed to the courts so far. Race is clearly the most important thing to Dems. Why doesn't he just nominate George Floyd's mother? In normal times that would be ridiculous, but do you have any doubt 50 Senate Dems would vote to confirm her? The only saving grace is that whoever he picks won't move the Supreme Court either direction. It will still be 5 conservatives and 4 liberals (including Roberts).

 

[Franko]

It's only racist or sexist when the other side does it.

Don't forget, plumbing systems make different decisions. Especially with the lights off.

I saw a movie that outlines what is happening, and the future, here's the trailer.
