According to the Jim Crow left it is.

I think it's pretty stupid, but folks will lap it up as the only scant chance at a feel-good they will get between now and the midterms.
1. Explain what makes any of the eight women whose names are being bandied about unqualified or valid targets of not earning the position if picked.

2. Rep Clyburn contacted Biden after his last loss before the South Carolina primary. He told Biden he would endorse him on two conditions....One, that he tighten up his answers (stop rambling)...so much for that , and two, that, if a vacancy comes, that he nominate a black woman to SCOTUS.

Biden forgot to mention this during a debate. Clyburn went backstage during the break in the debate and reminded him, and Biden mentioned it close to the end of the debate.

Well, they are but it's still wrong.

Why it's wrong:

We used to try to teach our kids that if they work hard, they can achieve. Now, we can no longer say that. Merit means nothing. If it's not an attempt to destroy the American dream, it's certainly an unintended consequence. It creates a victimhood mentality...that if you gripe enough, you can get something. It creates a system of spoiled brats, which we now have.

Technically it IS.


It's called "discrimination"

If I were a hiring manager, and did that with 3/4 of the candidates for a job, rejecting them based solely on their skin color or gender, I'd wind up in jail instantly.

Why doesn't Joe wind up in jail?
Don't kid yourself. Hiring a white male in a corporate job now is a no no and they are not shy about admitting it. My husband works for a major US company in a high level position. They are told to ONLY hire diversity hires. They hire the person and someone else has to do the work they are not qualified to do.

Gorsuch and Kavanaugh were picked solely because they were white males?

Biden is going to pick someone based mainly on race, that much is almost assured.

Will it be a blatant statement that clearly makes race the biggest factor.....nope.

That is how to cover tracks, do it for racial-reasons, but talk like race had little to nothing
to do with the decision.
