‘White men will be in the minority’: Networks and Dems fawn over confirmation of KBJ, but for the right reasons?

April 8, 2022 | | Print Article

Following the confirmation Thursday of Ketanji Brown Jackson to the U.S. Supreme Court, Democrats and their media allies rushed to gush over the “historic” moment — not over the exemplary record of President Biden’s nominee or over the future wrongs she will strive to right, but, once again, over the shade of Judge Jackson’s skin and the gender to which she has apparently assigned herself without the benefit of a biologist.

Time and time again, like a record stuck in a groove, the phrase “first black woman” has been repeated over the airwaves and on social media, to the point that the actual person who was confirmed seems to be an afterthought.

“Black” and “woman” are, after all, the factors that make the moment one for the history books. For the first time, a President made a specific gender and race foundational to his SCOTUS search, having famously promised on the campaign trail that he would do exactly that.


Discussions about her actual, highly-questionable sentencing record as a judge presiding over child pornography cases were slammed as yet another Republican conspiracy — so, to be fair, skin color and gender are about all Jackson supporters can cheer about — but as MRC Newsbusters pointed out, the networks didn’t let that phase them.

On ABC’s “World News Tonight,” reporter Rachel Scott stated that Jackson was “cementing her place in history,” before noting that “for the first time in history, four of the nine justices will be women. And white men will be in the minority.”

On NBC Nightly News, anchor Lester Holt proclaimed, “The lines of history and the course of this nation’s racial legacy intersected at the United States Capitol today.” He noted that “the first black woman Vice President Kamala Harris [is] presiding over the official Senate confirmation vote of Ketanji Brown Jackson to become the country’s first black woman Supreme Court Justice.”

Over on Twitter, Harris called it “a historic day for America,” while CNN White House correspondent John Harwood implied that those who voted no were essentially a bunch of Confederate racists.

 

Skin color is so integral to Jackson’s confirmation that liberal black people slammed black lawmakers who declined to give Jackson a thumbs up.

“Imagine being Black Republican Senator Tim Scott voting against the historic nomination of the first Black woman to the Supreme Court while three of your white Republican colleagues vote for her,” tweeted author Keith Boykin.

Senatorial candidate Gary Chambers stated, “There are 3 Black men in the U.S. Senate, 1 of them, Tim Scott voted no on confirming Judge Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court. There is always one of us, who thinks they know better than the rest of us Black folks. His no vote is a disgrace.”

“Yea I said it,” Chambers added.

Tweets about Jackson’s stellar commitment to the Constitution and rule of law are so scarce as to not be readily found.

But that’s okay.

She’s black. And she’s a woman. And now she’s a judge for life.

And that is, for better or worse, historic.

  1. i don’t care of the race or color of any judge proposed to be inducted into the SCOTUS , i care of their judgments made that will affect americans in the future & she has shown she is NOT the right judge to be in the SCOTUS for protecting pedophiles with her decisions, when the shithouse throws racism in the mix is when i wished there was no media to cover & promote their lies & deceptions

  2. I wonder what these woke Twitterers thought about Janice Rogers Brown? Was she not black enough forthem.

  3. I didn’t watch the “fawning” because I knew what it was going to be. Had biden not been the RACIST he usually is known to be, a black, qualified Female would have been on SCOTUS a long time ago, but he VOTED AGAINST her! He also filibustered Justice Clarence Thomas’ and voted against him, who IMO, has been one of our best jurists.

  4. Imagine putting race aside and just voting for the qualifications of a person, not voting purely based on skin color. This woman is a disgusting progressive, thank god she is so far the only one. Her record shows why she didn’t deserve to be on the Supreme Court. There were numerous other candidates who were much better qualified but didn’t cross the progressive democrat talking points, instead would have followed the law. This woman will never follow the law, only her political opinions. But to say a black politician should have voted for her based on race alone shows you what is wrong with the Democratic Party. They are the biggest racist of them all and she was used purely because of her race .

  5. They thought it would be a great thing when white man rule was overturned in South Africa and Rhodesia. Be careful of what you wish for.

  6. color and gender mean nothing, adherence to the Constitution is all that matters.

  7. Imagine promoting race and gender equality… AND THEN ATTACKING WHITE MEN (race and gender assault)! Ridiculous!

  8. The difference between Thurgood Marshall and Ketanji Brown Jackson?

    Thurgood Marshall was nominated because of his legal mind and accomplishments.

  9. That includes white democrats, too..I hope. You add abortion to that and they are looking at driving themselves extinct.

  11. SCOTUS is done for. There will no longer be any hope of a just decision being handed down by SCOTUS.

  13. Her confirmation was NOT historic, as stated by Kamala. It was a disgrace, a travesty, a perversion. IT WAS RACIST. The confirmation clearly demonstrated that the racism now rampant, pervasive in the gubment. It shows that these people (Jackson in particular) have zero integrity, zero morals, zero honor.

  14. All these HIGH WINDS are evidently due to MARTIN LUTHER KING SPINNING in his GRAVE!! The dems only care about COLOR and VAGINA IF – IF it is decidedly LEFTIST!
    The dems have floated the idea of just IGNORING the SC – we should be TAKING NOTES!

  15. Besides celebrating that Joe-tato has placed colored women where none have gone before, we should also remember that everything he has done is a complete failure and these two negroes will be the worst people to ever hold their jobs.

    1. And all this since inauguration day is because of slo jokes hatred of Trump and his love of communism and he is willing to destroy the USA.

  16. IMO, another black female would have been on SCOTUS, had biden not acted the racist he usually does, and had voted to confirm Janice Rogers Brown, who IMO, was much better qualified and appeared more knowledgeable than this female.

  17. Good bye USA, you were such a GREAT country,,,now there’s Marxist racist POS on our supreme court,,,,may GOD bless you,,,,,FJB,,,,,,
