The guy who's "clearly a racist" has a VP who's female, black and indian, appointed the first black female justice to SCOTUS, is working on improving schooling and fixing infrastructure like replacing lead pipes in underserved historically black communities. You want to call it "pandering" as a deflection because the fact is, and history shows, you would have done NOTHING for those underserved communities. |
DP. Have you heard of a man called LBJ? |
Ok this is clearly what I'm talking about. Again, repeat after me. Separating people into these different groups and favoring some groups over others is racism. Do you agree or disagree? Do you REALLY think Kamala Harris or Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson would have been picked if they were not black? Of course not! In fact, Biden was very open about the fact he wanted to select these positions based primarily on skin color and gender. Given these statements were first made while on the campaign trail, it absolutely qualifies as pandering. https://edition.cnn.com/2019/08/28/politics/joe-biden-potential-vp-pick/index.html https://www.cbsnews.com/news/supreme-court-potential-nominees-ketanji-brown-jackson-leondra-kruger-michelle-childs-candace-jackson-akiwumi/ I actually do care very much about minority communities. My concern is that this trendy, rewritten definition of racism infantilizes this particular group by encouraging perpetual victimhood and as a result, actually takes them back decades. |
Yep, LBJ was a product of the racist south and as such was known to use language now considered racist, and he initially opposed civil rights but ended up having a major turn of heart and was one of the main figures who pushed keystone civil rights legislation, one of the key figures who smashed Jim Crow laws, along with his Great Society policies to help the poor overall. So, were you going somewhere with that non-point of yours? Or was it just another nothing burger like those dumb, history-ignorant "Byrd was KKK" and "Democrats were pro-Slavery" posts? |
What do you mean, "of course not?" Ketanji Brown Jackson is a phenomenal legal mind and excellent judge, and I'd argue she's a better pick than some of the other sitting justices, like Amy Coney Barrett or Clarence Thomas. |
Kamala Harris wasn't just dropped into the White House out of nowhere by the Black Pander UFO. She had a substantial career as a popularly elected State Attorney General and US Senator before becoming the VP pick. It wasn't just Joe randomly grabbing some black woman off the street. |
LBJ said this during the civil rights legislation process... "if we get this into law, those n@#gers will be voting democrat for 100 years". 60 years later those n@#gers see first hand the control LBJ instilled. |
That's a lotta words to say he was a racist ![]() |
Are you saying if Kamala Harris or Ketanji Brown Jackson were white men with identical respective qualifications that they still would have been picked? |
Exact opposite. You're truly a special kind of stupid. |
What's often happened in the past is that less qualified white men were picked. That has definitely been the case with SCOTUS justices and many other political picks. |
What the hell were Mike Pence's great and wonderful qualifications? Mediocre governor from a mediocre state...? But at least he's an old white guy, fits the mold, wouldn't wanna scare away any Republican voters with anything else. |
Keep going with the pretzel logic. LBJ was a racist. |
Actions speak louder than words. |
But his actions were anti-racist. |
