White Male Privilege Affluenza Justice.

[anatta]

Ultimately, the defense of Kavanaugh by Republicans, conservatives, their media and public is a manifestation of America's rape culture -- the latter being neither "colorblind" or "race neutral."

When Kavanaugh's defenders make excuses for his alleged sexual assault and attempted rape of Christine Blasey Ford, they are endorsing and channeling white male privilege and toxic white masculinity. In America, these unearned advantages are the almost exclusive province of those who are white and male. This type of white entitlement is also amplified and exaggerated for rich, white, conservative heterosexual men.

Elite white men like Brett Kavanaugh (and of course Donald Trump) represent white male privilege and entitlement on steroids. If confirmed to the Supreme Court, Kavanaugh will be the White Male Privilege Affluenza Justice.

Almost by definition, black and brown boys and men are not allowed the protections and excuses afforded to men like Kavanaugh and Trump.

Black men and boys cannot hide behind folksy excuses that "boys will be boys" and cannot present attempted rape and other crimes as some type of "horseplay" or a "game" that they will "grow out of."

White boys are apparently engaging in "adolescent indiscretions" when they are accused of committing a crime. Black and brown boys are allowed no such safe harbor. We have heard it all this week: "He was just 17, and should not have his life ruined" or be "judged as an adult" for a mistake committed when he was young. These are the mantras and proclamations of white privilege. Negrophobia prevents such excuses and logic from being applied to black and brown boys and other young people. White men are infantilized in America; black boys and men are pathologized in America.

In American society to be black and young, even a child, is to be subjected to a cruel type of "adultification" that can often be lethal. Even when it isn't, it is nonetheless damaging and diminishing to one's health and humanity.

of course no one is saying anything like this, but LW rants don't need facts when rhetoric will do

No, they don't. They believe the more serious the accusation, the more likely it's true. If you make it sound bad enough, it had to have happened.

This is actually an interesting post ... and true.

You can clearly see why the 'Conservative/Religious types' are pushing to have this guy confirmed as soon as possible.

Why can you see that?

What have you heard that leads you to believe they should wait?

Wait how long?

Based on what she has claimed how can this be investigated?

[Fentoine Lum]

All you partisanshitheads sound alike.

Clearly we should send the Supreme Court nominee to juvie hall until he reaches the age of 21

Oh boy! Don. Don. Don.
We both know this is a 'Dog and Pony Show', a last ditch effort to stop, sabotage, derail, the confirmation of this right wing, religious, conservative type by the Democrats.
Obviously, the Republicans will confirm him and he will be a Supreme Court Justice for many years.
The MAIN point is to gin up 'controversy', 'awareness', and 'motivation' to get Democrats to the Polls in November. You know what they say "There is no bad publicity", ... Now, yes, I know this 'Faux Outrage' is usually the tactic of the Republicans, but hey, it seems to work!

So, Don ... I want to personally thank you for playing along and keeping this front and center, please keep it up for another month if possible. Oh, and if possible, could you get that cow, Truth Detector to 'moo' about this a little more. I'm afraid he's dropping the ball here.

Partisanheads like you are the ones that believe something because the person making the claim says something you agree with and against someone you hate. No objectivity on your part.
