The hard cold truth of modern style racism

[IM2]

.......plus--the black judges would not be fair--all blacks think about is RACE and their decisions on RACE mostly
...the 2012 election/OJ SImpson trial/protests-burning--looting FOR criminals
the blacks are FOR criminals and against law and order
your thread is proof of this

I disagree, while I do agree that's all IM2 thinks about, he's pretty much the scum of the earth. Most black people are better than he is.

Most black people think like me.

Lets stop denying the obvious here. 18 states have never had a person of color on their state supreme court. To think there has not been one person of color that on merit did not qualify EVER is straight up insane.

You do realize blacks are only 13% of the population and there are hardly any black people in some states, no?

In my state of Washington (democrat majority most of the time) Blacks are just 3.65% of the population, which managed to vote in a black man for Governor years ago. In my Metro city area (third largest in state) no blacks in ANY offices at all, hardly ever seen one run for office either. I was unable for find out if a black person ever held a Superior or supreme court office in the state courts.

But I do know that to qualify you MUST have a law degree, and have some court experience and competence, to get into the high courts. Not surprising when so few blacks have law degrees and so few aspire for high courts, which is the dominant factor on why they don't show up.

IM2 is making a mountain out of a molehill.

Not so. But whites have benefited the most from affirmative action and swear the program is unfair. That's making a mountain out of a molehill. The study shows that nationwide people of color are 40 percent of the population. Not just blacks, but people of color. And they are underrepresented on these courts regardless of their population in a state. But since you are white it's easy for you to make such comments.

He's seeing racism when there none there. Not exactly a stretch for him.

I see racism where it is and expect dumb uneducated whites like you to say it doesn't exist.

Yawn!

Of course. Why let facts get in the way of some manufactured outrage?

 

[IM2]

Whites are not 100 percent of the population of any state. So this weak arguments being made by whites here in opposition have no merit.

We will continue looking at modern racism. Of course the obvious will be denied by the same people and the complaints will come about a post about racism in a section where racism is supposed to be discussed.

How the El Paso Killer Echoed the Incendiary Words of Conservative Media Stars
By Jeremy W. Peters, Michael M. Grynbaum, Keith Collins, Rich Harris and Rumsey Taylor
Aug. 11, 2019

Tucker Carlson went on his prime-time Fox News show in April last year and told his viewers not to be fooled. The thousands of Central Americans on their way to the United States were “border jumpers,” not refugees, he said. “Will anyone in power do anything to protect America this time,” he asked, “or will leaders sit passively back as the invasion continues?”

When another group approached the border six months later, Ann Coulter, appearing as a guest on Jeanine Pirro’s Fox News show, offered a dispassionately violent suggestion about what could be done to stem the flow of migrants: “You can shoot invaders.”

A few days after, Rush Limbaugh issued a grim prognosis to his millions of radio listeners: If the immigrants from Central America weren’t stopped, the United States would lose its identity. “The objective is to dilute and eventually eliminate or erase what is known as the distinct or unique American culture,” Mr. Limbaugh said, adding: “This is why people call this an invasion.”

There is a striking degree of overlap between the words of right-wing media personalities and the language used by the Texas man who confessed to killing 22 people at a Walmart in El Paso this month. In a 2,300-word screed posted on the website 8chan, the killer wrote that he was “simply defending my country from cultural and ethnic replacement brought on by an invasion.”

It remains unclear what, or who, ultimately shaped the views of the white, 21-year-old gunman, or whether he was aware of the media commentary. But his post contains numerous references to “invasion” and cultural “replacement” — ideas that, until recently, were relegated to the fringes of the nationalist right.

How the El Paso Killer Echoed the Incendiary Words of Conservative Media Stars

The majority of people posting here and in the politics section believe this theory:

The Great Replacement - Wikipedia

Read the arguments made and we see this. Some parts of USMB are dominated by 8chan opinions. The race and racism section here is a prime example. There are some whites here that are not, but they get bullied by the racists.

There is nothing keeping anybody from applying for any position for any career in this country

Not anymore, at least not legally, but that's not the only way to keep out certain people that you don't want.

Can you show where anyone with qualifications was turned down in recent history?

By recent history I take it you mean since the passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? That's when racial and other discrimination was outlawed.

Do you have proof that qualified non whites were denied positions on any Supreme Court?

Do you have any proof that they haven't been?

And why did you change the parameters of your questions after I responded?

You seemed to not understand when I said recent history. Your reply was ridiculous. When statements are made about people being left out, dismissed, not allowed, etc, it is for you to prove these claims, otherwise it is speculation and misinformation, pretty much falling into playing a victim without proof.

 

[MizMolly]

As of this very second, 24 states have all white supreme courts. 18 state supreme courts have NEVER had a non white justice. In 2019. Yet in places like this people want to argue about how things are all in the past, or some other silly auto response some whites have when people of color speak truth.

State Supreme Courts Don’t Reflect the Diversity of the Communities They Serve
A new Brennan Center report details vast racial and gender disparities on state supreme courts around the country.
Alicia Bannon, Laila Robbins
July 23, 2019

We spent a year studying the gender and racial makeup of state supreme courts, which are typically the final arbiters on state law. Our new report, State Supreme Court Diversity, paints a bleak picture of the demographic makeup of these powerful courts. It also points to judicial elections as a key inflection point for addressing the racial disparities we found.

Currently, white men are dramatically overrepresented on state supreme court benches. Though white men make up less than a third of the population, they hold a majority of seats on state supreme courts. Meanwhile, though people of color make up nearly 40 percent of the U.S. population, they hold only 15 percent of state supreme court seats.

Twenty-four states currently have an all-white supreme court bench. This includes eight states in which people of color are at least a quarter of the state’s general population. And in states that have at least one justice of color, there are substantial gaps between the diversity in a state’s general population and its high court bench: the percentage of people of color on the bench is higher than their representation in the state’s population in only five states.

Eighteen states have never had a Black justice on their state supreme court. And 13 states have not seated a single justice of color since at least 1960, the earliest year for which we had comprehensive data.

Elections have rarely been a path to the bench for people of color. Since 1960, only 17 justices of color have first reached the bench through an election, comprising 4 percent of initially elected justices. Comparatively, 141 justices of color were initially appointed to the bench since 1960, comprising 12 percent of all initially appointed justices.

Although candidates of color were more likely to have prior judicial experience as challengers to incumbents or as candidates for open seats, they won less often than their white counterparts.

That happens in most cases, not just racial. It’s also true that some people blame race even when it isn’t the reason.

Not so. But whites have benefited the most from affirmative action and swear the program is unfair. That's making a mountain out of a molehill. The study shows that nationwide people of color are 40 percent of the population. Not just blacks, but people of color. And they are underrepresented on these courts regardless of their population in a state. But since you are white it's easy for you to make such comments.

Your deflection to Affirmative action (Which is an insult to blacks) is noted for what it is, a desperate attempt to ignore the point of MY post about the state I live in. When blacks make up such a small segment of a state population, it is unsurprising not to see any blacks in courts or the state house.

You have already called me a racist for my telling you I refuse to pay for reparations, since my past family were never slave owners and never supported segregation.

Your never ending racism is irrational and divisive.

The most qualified black candidate gets elected.

Not according to the recent history of elections in black districts.. YOU wouldn't vote for ANY Black conservative, libertarian or independent if there's a dem in the partisan race. . If I'm wrong about that -- correct me... Dem operatives LAUGH that running a sweet potato against a Republican in a black district would get elected...

 

[flacaltenn]

That's a dumb ass question.

It's definitely NOT a dumbass question.. But this is a dumbass thread..

You get provoked by looking at some raw numbers, IMMEDIATELY leap over all critical thinking and analysis and declare RACISM... You didn't even KNOW how many systems of picking state judges exist in the various states, REFUSE to discuss valid demographics and political reasons for that disparity and go and wank out a thread declaring it racist...

While the Brennan Institute probably stops short of CALLING it racism to maintain their dignity -- because they are AWARE of the real world reasons for the disparity in numbers (as I just repeated) -- THEY have a cynical POLITICAL objective to pack courts in states where people chose to be conservative or at LEAST -- not progressive... That's their goal.. To FORCE unconstitutional requirements on states with virtually NO black citizenship or majority leftist governments with black judges that will heel to the march of Socialism and Progressivism in states they cannot REACH within the laws...

The reason for the disparity in those numbers (for the 3rd time) is mostly demographics, politics and process of selection. -- NOT racism as in your dumbass title.... You want to remain ignorant of that. And refuse to even ALLOW the discussion...

So I'll oblige you... Have fun on the soapbox....

Omg... A prophet is amongst us. I'll say you're more talented than Max Mouth Waters or many others. But your theory of 'collective black thought' needs a rough kick in the pants... And I'm thinking you're gonna get that kick as your political party continues to melt down... Won't be much longer that "all black people think and vote alike"...

You're more political than any kind of genuine Civil Rights leader that's made a name.. That's the weakness to your arrogance of speaking for all black people...

You ain't going to correct anything this way. it has gotten as far as it will ever be. You must bring the whole system down and then rebuild it. There is no transformation. You go back 400 years. There are people who are pizzed off in the crap they took in their own lifetimes now.
