It's disturbing when a racist judge makes racist statements in support of racist practices. When she's either lying, or gullible to lies, it's worse.
I point out the Former First Lady complained that the very racist policy Justice Brown-Jackson supports undercut her ( the First Lady ) credibility as a lawyer.
And the fact that Known racist President Biden openly declared he would appoint a Black Woman to her job, undercuts Justice Brown-Jackson's credibility as a racist hire without regard to merit. Aka, as Joe* would have said when he was younger or now when his meds are off, "she's a token Negro Lady".
A quick look at Justice Brown-Jackson's career shows she's not stupid, definitely politically partisan ( pro Klan Party ) and from my viewpoint rather typically mixed in how good I consider her decisions.
To be clear, I expect to disagree with the Supreme Court about half the time, regardless of it's makeup over the half century I've been paying attention. ( my opinions under age 15 are mostly, mercifully, forgotten. I was a lefty teen lout, until my Father straightened me out )
So I'm absolutely not picking on Justice Brown-Jackson for her race, sex, or, surprisingly, competence. And it's not HER fault she was appointed by a senile dementia case with a history of racist attitude.
I will criticize her for following a racist Party Propaganda line, to wit, ( namely ) that blacks can't get ahead because of the long term racist policies of her Party. Which deeply internalized the lie that Blacks are an inferior race and need whites to take care of them.
Here the deepest irony and dishonesty lies.
Justice Brown-Jackson, in this case specifically and others in her past Correctly identifies that systemic racism issues hurt people. But hypocritically, has to ignore/deny/project the identity of the racists, and ignore the underlying racism, to keep in line with her Party's racist policies.
It's not a simple subject. Dishonesty makes it worse.
Being a token hire undercuts your credibility in the eyes of the public and coworkers. Supporting token hiring undercuts your credibility in my eyes.
I'm aware enough, ( Not Woke ) to consider people as individuals, on their merits.
I find Justice Brown-Jackson competent, but hypocritical, partisan, and dishonest or gullible, politically.
Otoh the cute lesbian press secretary is incompetent, dishonest, and unqualified.
But I'm willing to accept I could be wrong and she's actually a very clever evil monster faking it. The Biden* Occupation has many such disposable/deniable minions. His "script writers" are mostly Obama retreads. ( or Obama's deniability operatives, there's some debate )
Obama was never shy about "throwing people under the bus" to CYA his lies & crimes & attitudes.
Although I generally prefer the metaphor of sleds and wolves, "under the bus" is a more American phrase.
The most murderous and cruel regime in human history, figured by number of bodies starved to death on purpose and enslaved, shot, and poisoned by uncaring Elites.
Also Joe's* paymasters and mass purchasers of colleges and farmland as prelude to final conquest.
Let me explain how free speech works to this Elitist snob.
You are allowed to spout your authoritarian lies. I'm allowed to point out you seem like a commie scum who lies. You're allowed to be butt hurt and lie more. I'm allowed to point out your lies and offer evidence you suck.
At no point in free speech is making the other person shut up part of any freedoms.
If I lie, you're allowed to point that out too.
I understand you disagree with thousands of years of truth. That's your right. You have no right to shut others up.
I'm available for lectures on the subject with a reasonable fee.
Free speech is a threat to "our democracy", per the White House minitru.
Pretty cut & dried. Like the cocaine.
Which, by my count has been claimed to have been found now in 5 different places. ( one, at least, may just be a fantasy from the Washington Post, who claims an anonymous source giving them exclusive secrets that is probably a felony)
The traditional conservative approach to poverty used to be to create some jobs.
The traditional regressive approach to increasing poverty is to make running a business in an inner city too expensive.
The first one can't compete with money for nothing. And the drugs ain't free!
The second has shifted into high gear with the People's Republic of Cali making shoplifting a crime they won't stop.
If you own a small shop you have no choice but to raise the prices to pay for the theft. Which means your shop is a target for arson & looting the next scheduled riot. 2024 promises to be a record year.
I'm betting a steak sub that the only big riots this summer will be around the next Supreme Court ruling on law enforcement ( and probably this editorial subject, squatter camps ) because Hydra wants to focus on getting maximum damage at the R Party primaries and convention. Keep things at a simmer and grind the sensible voters outt of town.
Of course, I could be wrong.
And there's always a chance for another violent thug to be promoted to Angelic Martyr after they get killed trying to run over a cop.
The unanswered question of the 21st century might be, who is the rich white, or arab, or persian... men behind Barack Hussein Obama?
Because whoever it is that spent millions to erase his past and promote his ghost written "autobiographies" is a racist monster. And, obviously a Leftist, but I repeat myself.
I can only hope that this is a trend, but it's going to be fought tooth and claw by the Klan Party and the Discriminatory Exclusionary Intolerant scum.
The positive force is by firing DEI managers that are now acknowledged as illegal racist segregation jerks, companies can save million$ and greatly reduce workforce stress and anxiety.
I'm sure some have noticed the decline in youths getting outside and doing physical stuff. Even before the Covid Panicdemic shutdowns.
The graying of the involved.
There's a massive deer population growth from lack of new hunters.
And many other activities. Just the ones I've been involved with show an ever older demographic. The folk I see actively doing flying, martial arts, bicycling, are definitely getting older.
It's not totally a generation of Eloi, Yet. There's a Lot of nifty toys available today we didn't have, like stand up paddle board, kite boards, E-bikes, vapes, gummies, ... Ok, maybe Brave New World, but how are motorcycle sales?
Could be a number of reasons but I suspect it's cultural. You might blame antisocial media addiction, but that's just too easy. Wall-E? Matrix? Veganism?
I'll repeat my call for this vestige and redoubt of institutional racism be abolished and it's accumulated wealth be confiscated and applied to the National debt. Just like any terrorist organization.
They change the names to lie about their racism, "affirmative action" is a slick way to disguise Jim Crow 2.1.
The critics of Heinlein's Starship Troopers, ( The book, not the silly movie ) called him a fascist for supposing a social trend, or warning about a possible one.
He was no fascist. Horny coot, sure. Patriot. Freedom lover. Responsibilities advocate. But fascist was pure slander.
Much like being called a White Supremacist is today, an accusation almost always without merit.
I loved "Jackpot", and understood it to be both a sarcastic view of statistics as social science and a warning we were still ignorant of the real world despite our arrogant assumptions of knowledge.
I honestly don't know who this person is, or most current country singers, to be fair, not just this guy. For all I know he's a great Heavy Metal singer who can really wail on a Stratocaster. No clue.
But it's funny when anybody gets the grown up moment and regrets a stupid decision from their youth, not to them of course.
And it's MUCH better to be amused at regret about a tattoo than a relationship mistake that hurt people. Like dating A Kardassian, finding you're a fashion accessory and not a partner. Or having unprotected sex while wasted on crack and proving to the world you're disgusting trash by claiming to be broke to reduce child support payments when you're a millionaire.
And a Gerber baby smoking a blunt? Yeah. I can see that regret. Better than Minnie Mouse doing REDACTED, but sure. I also can see the funny motivation, and would guess jello shots were involved.
Unfortunately Sturgeon's Law applies. For every well inked expression, there's several lousy attempts.
Free speech absolution! But stupid is as stupid does.
Racist hiring practices and tricks to violate the laws against racism have been common for long over a century by these folk.
It's difficult to write a law that punishes racism without the racists using it to attack their enemies.
After all, Math is racist, according to the racists who insist solving equations and showing up for work or class as requested is racism, as a fundamental part of their belief that the people they pretend to defend are inferior to themselves.
Being "colorblind" is really really bad! It threatens their privilege! How can they be Better Than You if you don't play their game?
All covered with the frosting of rationalization and assumed superiority.
The Left is Fundamentally Dishonest because the truth is so horrible.
