Joe Biden promises he'll put a BLACK WOMAN on the supreme court

[CFM]

No, saying he'll recommend a black woman is not a "qualification" - but if she's qualified why would you be against a black woman on the bench? Do we need another white man to keeps things not racist?



How much do you know about the historical oppression of black people in this country? Do you understand the concept of generational wealth? Most arrests/convictions for marijuana have been largely non-white. The drug war for decades has purposefully targeted and destroyed communities of color - it is only right that now when it's legal they use that new market as revenue to rebuild via government backed loans. The government isn't stopping whites from opening up shop - they don't have to deal with the racism that often denies PoC loans at private banks.



You think Medicare for ALL doesn't include whites? Free* education doesn't include whites? Sanders is a Union man - do you think whites aren't going to be in the unions of the future? You think Sanders hates us?

That someone is qualified is all that matters. You lefties are the ones that continue to bring up race, gender, and any other identity politics concepts you can throw in.

If Biden was to appoint a black female, and she is the most qualified based on what should be considered, the only thing that can be guaranteed is that you got the most qualified black female. If you automatically eliminate everyone that doesn't fit into those categories, you can't claim you got the most qualified person.

No, I'm against a person's race and gender being considered when choosing someone for the supreme court. We should be picking the best people possible, not picking the best people possible as long as they're black and female.

I can understand compensating people who were directly hurt by the drug war. However, not every black person was hurt by the drug war, and not every white person wasn't. If the government is going to help people sell pot, it should go by class and direct experience, not race.

This can be compared to reparations. I agree with the government giving reparations to people who were interned during WWII, but I don't want reparations given to all black people, since none of them were ever slaves in America.

In theory, Medicare for All includes all races. However, if he's going to give loans based on race, I have to question how fair Medicare for All is going to be. I wouldn't be surprised if he taxed Whites extra to pay for it.

Blacks have low IQs. Black women are the least intelligent people on the planet. If not for discrimination there wouldn't even be a black woman with a law degree, let alone on the SC. You can talk about the "best", but are you wanting to live in a society, a meritocracy, without any blacks, especially black women, in government? Liberals agree with me, and that's why we have lots and lots and lots of racial preferences for blacks.

Blacks, on their own, live like wild apes. Dig up an old National Geographic and see them in their natural habitat. Without discrimination, blacks wouldn't earn pot dispensaries. And, then the government is going to have to subsidize them to keep them in business.

Talk about race pandering.

Doesn't Simple Ol Joe have to win the Democratic Party of the Jackass nomination first?

Blacks are not oppressed. They get special treatment on everything They fail be because they are inferior.


1. Black-americans come in last in all standardized tests. Asian-americans do fine on all the tests so it's not due to cultural bias in the tests.

2. Africa is by far the poorest and most backward continent on the planet. All of black africa is now controlled by blacks and has been for decades so it's not due to racism.

3. No black has ever won a Science Nobel Prize unless you count one in 1979 for the semi-science of economics. They have won many nobels in non-brain fields like Peace and also in Literature so it is not due to racism.

4. Out of 1552 chess grandmasters in the world, only THREE are black.

But the thing is after a certain level of legal expertise the "best" is subjective, a matter of political opinion. That's why I used the word qualified. Is representation so wrong?

Legally speaking any legislation would not be allowed to make race a specific trait of benefit. I haven't even seen a source that brings up this government pot loan business scheme.

Ok? I don't know why reparations is coming into this. This just opens up another can of worms I don't think you're prepared to deal with.

So you really think Sanders wants to instate Apartheid in the US? That's what you're describing.

What you say about determining the "best" is true and it's not just with politics. What make's someone qualified. According to you and Joe, qualified includes being black and female. If he were to pick a "qualified" black female, the only thing he could guarantee getting, and it would still be subjective, is the "most qualified" black female not the most qualified person overall. There's nothing wrong with representation as long as it's not determined by factors, that if used to disqualify someone, wouldn't be considered wrong. You can't claim it's wrong to deny based on race/gender then turn around and use those same things believing it's OK to do so in the same of social justice.

Affirmative action is legislation that makes race, except white, as a benefit.

Reparations is nothing more than a proposal by those that never were slaves to get something funded by those that never owned slaves. What it would do, if passed, is benefit a specific race something you said would not be allowed legally.

Substitute "wealthy" for "whites" and that is who is wants to tax more. Everything Bernie proposes involves taxing someone he hates in order to give things those he pretends to love.

[CFM]

Stony, promising to a black woman on the S,C. is the definition of racism.

Surely...surely you see that.

Probably not.

It's a prime example of lefties thinking race and/or gender is a "qualification". If what Biden is promising should occur, while the person may be the "most qualified" from among the group he uses to pick, the only guarantee would be that the "most qualified black female" was chosen not the most qualified PERSON.

[CFM]

^^ I think you are representing the Trumpist faction quite well.

As a liberal and as a decent human being, I think it is a good aspirational goal for our public institutions to reasonably look like America.

While definitely a liberal mindset, what's decent about thinking race and gender means someone is qualified? Should businesses, etc. be able to use race to exclude?

[Benny seso]

Well, that is almost half the US population!! Amazing that poor Old Joe is probably going to win

Yes, best is subjective, but we should be able to agree that race and gender don't make someone more qualified to be on the supreme court.Representation is fine, but not at the expense of fairness and quality.

Legally speaking any legislation would not be allowed to make race a specific trait of benefit. I haven't even seen a source that brings up this government pot loan business scheme.

Even if it doesn't actually happen, it's still racist on the part of Biden and Bernie for wanting racial preference.

Ok? I don't know why reparations is coming into this. This just opens up another can of worms I don't think you're prepared to deal with.

You said helping the black community sell pot would be making up for the racism against them, which is a form of reparations. I'm saying I agree with reparations, but only when they're for people who were directly affected.

So you really think Sanders wants to instate Apartheid in the US? That's what you're describing.

No, I think he wants white people to be second class citizens.

Approximately 7% is half the population?

[Benny seso]

sorry :I mean half of the population, meaning women are half of the population

I thought you were talking about Daffy. Then you said joe as uninformed rightys do.
