All this wisdom, and dispensed for free.That's not what's going on here.
This is a media optics decision at it's core. No one will ever see a confirmation process like David Souter ever again. Never. While everyone has something buried away and a scandal somewhere, no one knew what to do with Souter. The guy redefined the "No One Is Teflon" trope in professional politics. I'm not even sure the guy is actually human. No computer, no email, no cell phone, no fanfare, nothing. No marriage, no kids, I'm not sure guy ever went on a date in his life. He was in the right place and the right time after Bush needed some kind of counter narrative to Bork.
Which brings up the Nikki Haley problem. With full Party support from the GOP, no one can beat her in 2024. She has a backstory that would fit into the American Idol marketing formula and she has no open scandal.
What the establishment Democrats want is a black woman candidate who would not spotlessly push through hard vetting. They want someone who create just enough bumps where there are avenues for the GOP to oppose the nominee. This is so the activist complicit MSM can further drive the White Nationalist/White Supremacist/Cops Are Looking To Execute Black People/Fear Wonderbread Themed Militias narrative.
This administration needs a "win" and it needs to support it's continued attack on poor white rural Christian America. Too many of them vote now and they can't control those votes.
I have property in some now expensive areas. Pacific Heights, Medina, Beacon Hill, River Oaks, Cobble Hill, etc, etc. I'm old enough to have bought in when prices aren't what they are right now. And if I look at the range of blacks, Asians and Hispanics/Latinos over time in my personal life and work and where I've lived, you'll find a trend of socioeconomic tiers at work. Occasionally you'll see someone breakthrough but it's not that often. Meaning just because someone is black or Asian or Hispanic/Latino doesn't account for their background. Jaden Smith is not growing up like most other black kids. And while there aren't tons of Jaden Smiths in the world, there are plenty of wealthy black families several rungs down the ladder status wise from Will Smith but still 50 rungs above the average American.
The idea that just because someone is black, that they automatically have a massive amount of "diverse" experiences contradicts the reality of individual narratives over media driven agendas.
The current Democratic Party and their drive for identity politics would have some serious issues with Martin Luther King Jr if he was alive today. Peaceful protest? Not the color of the skin but the content of one's character? And what would MLK say about all the minority owned small businesses burned out and looted and destroyed so so the heads of BLM could fundraise their way to millions?
Joe Biden - Wrote every major crime bill in American political history that punished young black men. Was mentored by known racist and segregationists in Congress, including a KKK Exalted Cyclops. Lied about his relationship with Nelson Mandela, and lied about his role in protesting/marching/advocating for Civil Rights. Pathological liar who literally said he wanted his kids nowhere near "racial jungles" and opposed busing.
Kamala Harris - As CA Attorney General, suppressed evidence to keep young black men in prison and made sure the for profit prison system could continue to have it's essentially slave labor, comprised mostly of young black inmates. Is also known for sleeping with a married black man ( Willie Brown) to get ahead politically. Is playing a part in destabilizing another black family going to help Harris' image here?
Susan Rice - Known best for enabling genocide in Rwanda during the Clinton Adminstration
Anyone think MLK would want to break bread with these people?
"Diversity" is a political dog whistle to avoid the issue that billions of our tax dollars were spent to arm terrorists with high tech weaponry so they can kill generations of future Americans. Those are you children and your grandchildren and your grandchildren's children who are at stake. And they are simply waiting to come kill all of us while they gang rape and sodomize up to 19 million "women" ( most of them actually children) as war brides and as the spoils of war.
Nothing is more ridiculous than quite possibly the largest collection of current elected officials whom have done the most to punish black people and said diversity pushing this intersectional agenda as if they are saving the entire world, when all they are doing is trying to change the conversation points in the national daily media cycle.
Race is a problem in America. But it doesn't change the issue of known racists at the top in this current administration beating everyone else down with gaslighting purity tests to provide soft cover for their own incompetence and crimes.
