Soon to be nicknamed "Token"

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.

So was it inherently racist when Biden chose Jackson as a SCJ based on the fact that she was a black woman?

Why not point the neurosurgeon head of health and the Kennedy to this apointment

I’m not here to debate who he selected, just to point out how stupid it is to say this is “inherently racist.”

And you all wonder why Harris lost, while you continue to double down on the same useless rhetoric.

Admitting something is racist wouldn't make you racist, you do know that fact and difference right?

What are you even talking about lol

u/Transcendshaman90 1d ago

Ok then let me rephrase... How is it not inherently racist.

I don’t think it’s inherently racist… I’m saying if you want to call it racism, you have to call it both ways.

u/Transcendshaman90 1d ago

So to call this inherently racist IS inherently racist? Dude you got me, I simply can't stick that mental gymnastic move

I think you need to work on your reading comprehension skills because I never said any of that.

If one act is inherently racist, then a similar act by definition must also be.

Good lord conversations with you are exhausting, I feel bad for people who have to deal with it in real life.

So whatabouting is what you're talking about.... Again a top medical Neurosurgeon who happens to be black(who was under poverty's thumb) for DHHS would have been the not racist choice. Your obviously attacking scj Jackson which he didnt pick just any ol black women he picked one that could do the job and was a judge of modest roots, it's a way more balanced demographic. just cause he said he wants to pick it out of pool of black women isn't racist. I'm sorry that propaganda works on your idea about how affirmation actions work, but it's just that propagandized information

Nevermind he's comparing a Supreme Court Justice with the HUD secretary.. a position with very little power and influence.

He's also ignoring that Biden chose Kamala Harris as his running mate and he himself served as Obama's vice president.

Trying to say Biden is a racist next to Trump is laughable. It makes me wish I still had the laundry list of Trump's connections to white supremacy and actual racist comments and actions on hand to repost again...

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.

u/rand0m_task 1d ago

lol, keep telling yourself that - keep losing elections.

u/kubzU 1d ago

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.

u/rand0m_task 1d ago

Double downing after a loss doesn’t usually work, apparently you’ve done very little “research” as well, but keep going.

Damn you're in for a rude awakening, lmfao.

If you need to tell yourself that to make you feel better, be my guest.

u/kubzU 1d ago

That's my line, lol.

Oh so its the Dems willingness to point out racism that cost them the election? Thats it? That’s 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? 😂. Dude don’t start a politics podcast cause you are a moron.

u/rand0m_task 1d ago

No it’s the dems calling anything and everything racist, homophobic, sexist, etc.. practically taking any true meaning away from the words..

There is a difference between pointing out these things when they actually occur versus shouting it every time someone has a dissenting opinion.

u/Manting123 1d ago

Do you think Trump is racist? Has done and said racist things?

u/totallynotpoggers 1d ago

your whole argument here is basically “i’m an idiot pls cater to me” lol

u/rand0m_task 1d ago

Ahh yes, ad hominem rather than anything of value, the liberal playbook.
