the democrats will find a way to fuck this up. suddenly the threats to primary manchin and sinema do not look too appealing. looks good in the short term, but this may come back to bite the dems if manchin and sinema do not support the nominee.
i fucking hate politics. all of it.

Why would Biden pledge to nominate an African American woman when there are ethnic groups that have never been represented on the SCOTUS?
is there an ethnic group that makes up more of the population than African Americans?
Asian is third in ethnic groups and they have never been represented.
To add to the very real needs of the Black community, it's common knowledge that the Black community is a massive percentage of the Democratic voting cohort. With midterms elections later this year, if the already-slim Senate majority is lost, Biden will have extremely little luck helping anyone - including the Asian and African-American communities. Frustratingly, the game of politics forces opportunism as a short-term strategy to win long-term goals.

African Americans are far from being represented enough in light of relevant facts.
I understand why these facts are important but what would an African American woman be able to do for the black community more than any other person from an ethnic group? My point is that there are ethnic groups that have never been represented. I thought diversity was a goal.
I just don't get why he does this. He did the same thing with when he was picking a VP. Just pick a black woman if you want to. If you say it ahead of time, you look like you're picking the person based on their race, rather than because of their merits and regardless of race.

I'm talking about whenever he said it, whether on the campaign trail or just today. It'd be better for everyone, especially the person he nominates, if he just nominated them without any mention of their race. I was too young at the time to recall, but I doubt George Bush made any reference to Clarence Thomas being black.
It'd be funny if a republican president someday did the same thing, and appointed a conservative black female to the court. I can hear it now.....
Tucker Carlson: This is a great appointment. Someone chosen based purely on their merits!
Joy Reid: She may be black woman, but she's vessel for white supremacy!
Why would Biden pledge to nominate an African American woman when there are ethnic groups that have never been represented on the SCOTUS?
is there an ethnic group that makes up more of the population than African Americans?
Asian is third in ethnic groups and they have never been represented.
so not more?
So are you saying that Asian representation shouldn't matter at all because there are more African Americans?
I asked if there was a group that "makes up more"....just confirming your answer
I answered your question. Why won't you answer mine?
So are you saying that Asian representation shouldn't matter at all because there are more African Americans?
Not necessarily....but follow the questions here
You: Why would Biden pledge to nominate a AfAm woman? Me: Is there another group making up more of the population You: Asians are third.....
Correct answer would have been "No"
OK but African Americans are represented on the SCOTUS(I'll admit under represented). Other ethnic groups have not been represented at all. America is made up of more than just Whites, Hispanics and African Americans and those other ethnic groups should at least have a chance of being represented on the SCOTUS.
biden is going to nominate kamala harris. she will get appointed. then biden will pick hillary as his vp, and then biden will resign making hillary president.

Your white privilege empowers you to say things like this. Meanwhile, many ethnic groups are not being given an equal chance at being represented on the SCOTUS. It is not a joke and you should take it more serious.

so by this rationale i am assuming you would be okay with the democrats expanding the supreme court to put representatives of other minority groups on the court to make sure everyone has a seat at the table, correct?
or do we have to wait until the gop is in power to do this?
the supreme court is supposed to be apolitical.

POOTWH nominates 3 more White people to sit on SCOTUS and not a peep about Asians never having been represented. President Biden announces he’ll nominate a Black woman and suddenly Asians, and their under representation on SCOTUS, matter. That’s pretty funny.

Biden didn't give other ethnic groups a chance because he promised it to 1 ethnic group. Trump did not do this and I don't know if you all heard, Trump is not in office anymore. The focus should be on Joe Biden and how to make America a better place to live for all ethnic groups.

not a damn peep from anybody during that timeframe.
don't forget that the gop stole one from obama by not letting obama appoint one in the lead up to the election. we could have had an african american woman at that time.

We should be focusing on the future and how to make sure all ethnic groups have representation in America. Promising a high position such as SCOTUS to 1 ethnic group is racism at it's most blatant.
