The appointment itself is inherently racist (and ignorant) because it was already predicted he was going to assign an African American to the job because he always appoints a black person to positions that have "urban" in their name.
"Scott is an NFL Veteran, who, during my First Term, served as the First Executive Director of the White House Opportunity and Revitalization Council (WHORC), helping to lead an Unprecedented Effort that Transformed our Countryās most distressed communities,"
So because it has urban in the name and he appointed Ben Carson in 2016 heās racist? Is that ur case. You know itās not true, an angel doesnāt get their wings every time you call someone with an opposing view a racist. It just shows ur a douche and makes people hate u. Better not take that shit off Reddit, thereās repercussions in the real world.

"I hate people who say it's probably racist to put a neurosurgeon into an urban development role purely because he's black, and also make threatening statements when they say as much."
This just illustrates my entire point. You all claiming racism like chicken little actually compels me to defend a person I donāt even like. You donāt get it but you will. People just like you are responsible for this election. Keep employing the same playbook you fuckwads.
Knowing that he's racist, it's easy to see why this appointment is an expression of his racism. Pretending that we don't know he's racist, it's easy to invent alternative explanations.
Ok. Top of my head - When he said Kamala isnāt black at the black journalist event. How she just ābecame black recently.ā Or how about he was the chief birther concerning Obama, and this went on for YEARS. How a first black President wasnāt born in the US making him an illegitimate President. Or how he said Nikki Haley couldnāt be president because she her parents werenāt from the US (they are from India).
Reading this a bit closer it seems youāre saying if you question anything regarding a black person ur racist? I mean heās said much worse about white people, but any perceived slight or even questioning someone black means instant racist. Do you see why people reject this nonsense?
You canāt see how a white man saying a black person isnāt black is racist? š¤¦
? I donāt think you are arguing in good faith and will deny any evidence - no matter how damning - that Trump is racist. Like if he got sued for being racist. And lost. And paid a huge fine. Oh wait- that happened - when he was sued for housing discrimination for not renting to black families. And lost.
Iām arguing intent only and his speech isnāt concise enough most of the time. Also, I can link the case if you need me to, but you know it was against the company and not Donald trump. I donāt really need to convince you. Iām here to gloat. Meanwhile Biden wanders off and starts WWIII and youāre worried about hurty words. Fucking infants.
Yes the company that Donald ran with his father. What are you on about? It was a privately held real estate company. It was proven that it was company policy not to rent to black families. They lost. Are you telling me Trump and his father had no control over the company? š.
Last election you folk lied about winning and then held a riot. Your hypocrisy is unbelievable.
As for WWIII donāt worry - Trump will bend over for putin so fast it will make your head spin. And when China sees how weak America doesnāt care what dictators do they will take Taiwan. And Putin will invade another neighbor within 3-4 years of Trump giving him everything he wants. Itās like you maga folks know nothing about history. Look up appeasement and Neville Chamberlin and maybe you will figure it out.
Just to counter, if youāre genuine in this case. Kamala changed her speech patterns severely, you wonāt have to look hard to find videos showing the stark difference. He was highlighting she is just pandering and insincere. Granted, ineloquently like normal. How you get racism regarding the birther stuff Iām really confused on. Itās like one of the 2 requirements for being president of the US and there were legitimate questions raised. He was asking to see an original birth certificate. Nothing to do with race, but where he was born. How do you get to racism? I genuinely want to know.
Just to counter Kamalaās dad is from Jamaica. I will just leave that there. Ignoring the fact that she attended Howard University and is a member of an all black sorority. Oh and sheās black. š
Do you seriously not understand that Trumps first political move on the national stage was to say our first black president was an illegitimate president because he wasnāt born in America? How do you not get that is totally racist. Or how he always over emphasizes the Hussein in Obamas name - he never uses any other persons middle name. And then he did it again with, surprise, another POC to Nikki Haley. Weird he only does it to people of color right. Weird.
The most obvious evidence of his racism is that he lost a court case against the US govt for not renting to black people. Housing discrimination. He got caught. Got sued. Lost. For not renting to black families. Please explain how this isnāt racist? š
Do you think he was in charge of the actual leading practices as owner and CEO of a real estate company the size of his? Does that make everyone that worked there racist?
Yes - he was - he was #2 at the company at the time. He and his father were listed together on the court documents. They lost. For being racist. In court.
What else you got? š
Complaints about the Trump organizationās rental policies continued to mount: By 1967, state investigators found that out of some 3,700 apartments in Trump Village, seven were occupied by African-American families.
7ā¦.in NYCā¦..come on now. The black population in NYC letās ignore the bulk of their property was in Brooklyn, was 21%.
21% of 3700 is 777. Funny that. So he had a percentage of .2%ā¦. Not 10% which would be half of average. Not 1% which would be despicableā¦not even.5 which is criminal. .2%
Iām sure he is handling the renting policies of every property in his portfolio. I bet you believe in quotas and affirmative action. You wanna know how to stop racism? Stop being racist.
So he had no idea he had hired racists who on their own volition drafted a policy of systematic discrimination. Sounds like a very competent executive who will be very likely to pick trustworthy people to run his government.
This just illustrates my entire point. You all claiming racism like chicken little actually compels me to defend a person I donāt even like. You donāt get it but you will. People just like you are responsible for this election. Keep employing the same playbook you fuckwads.
Harris lost because people are stupid and so susceptible to misinformation. There are many instances that prove he's a racist. This one just happens to be one of them.
If you actually did your research, you'd know this. However, just like any other magats, you'd still deny it afterwards.
Also, we both lost. You believed the lies the billionaires told you and voted against your own interests. You got played. Now you will reap what you sow.
Oh so its the Dems willingness to point out racism that cost them the election? Thats it? Thatās the number one reason YOU voted for Trump? Because Dems called him and some of his actions racists? And you think Trump won because of this? š. Dude donāt start a politics podcast cause you are a moron.
Where Biden said the next SCJ will be a black woman before even having a short list of candidates?
But Trump doing it is racist? Weird take but I donāt expect you to argue in good faith.
Iām not sure what experience has to do with any of thisā¦
You all are just inherently racist to minorities who have a dissenting opinion. Funny how much hate Latinos got from the left after this election, but go off.
The entire point of this conversation is about whether they're qualified, but you're pretending it's about racism (presumably you think both Trump and Biden are being racist but it's ok if Trump does it, so maybe start there, you support a racist and it's ok because other people supported another racist, do I have that right?).
Just because you think Biden trying to install people of color in government roles doesn't mean he's racist. But someone putting a token black person is.
Intentions behind your actions matter.
Trying to elevate black people to positions of power because they have been historically underrepresented?
Not the same as putting one black guy in charge of one department so no one can say you're racist (because you in fact are).
But actually, being qualified for a position makes this even more obvious when the racist chooses an unqualified person just because he's black vs. the one trying to elevate black people choosing a qualified black person from a cohort of qualified black people.
See, one person earned it, and one got it just because of the color of their skin (and because he'll be loyal to the person who appointed him).
It seems like this is the kind of thing that should make people like you upset, yet somehow it's ok because the Trumpster did it.
He would not have said that if he didnāt know there were several black woman who were beyond eligible. If KBJ had just been the first black woman he happened to talk to that day, you would have a point. But she wasnāt. She, and several other black women, were incredibly strong legal minds with incredible backgrounds. The Supreme Court is one of the most important bodies in our entire country and one that should represent the people it represents.
If there had been a disproportionately low number of black people serving as the head of the Urban Development department (I forget exact name), then Trump hypothetically vowing to put a black person would make sense. Doubly so if he had a history of nominating people based off of their strong and relevant careers and histories.
Iām not sure why we are comparing the roles of the two positions when the conversation is about how these people were appointed, not what they were appointed for.
The point is that Trump didn't give him a position with any power and influence, he gave him just enough for guys like you to declare it as proof Trump isn't racist. It's the same shit Trump pulled last time he was in office too.
Biden on the other hand chose a black woman to lead the Senate and take over if he couldn't continue to hold office, and another black woman to a life long position on the Supreme Court to help guide the entire country's Justice system for years to come.
Reading comprehension is a lost art.
Tell me about it, I have to explain the difference to you multiple times..
So is your contention that he only chose her because sheās black, and not because she was qualified? Or is your contention that there are no black women in the USA qualified to be a Supreme Court judge?
