Your list makes my point. You listed minorities who white people have ok'd as being competent. Outside of Condoleezza Ricce, there's nothing particularly "Brilliant" about the rest on your list. They are Brilliant only is as much as White Republicans have held them up in their party. Now, I respect Colin Powell for being the voice he has. The others have actually set minorities back. Now, if you want to look at affirmative action or people being elevated because of the color of their skin, look at that list you wrote. And include in them Herschel Walker etc. etc.

Now, I've heard Karine Jean Pierre before she became White House Press secretary. She always seemed composed and smart. Jen Psaki was brilliant, but Karine Jean Pierre is probably as competent if not more than any Press secretary in Trump's White House. And FYI, the White House press secreatry job has to be one of the hardest there is. You have to not only be quick on your feet but be able to assimilate and understand a wide breadth of ever changing information on every discipline so that you can take random questions on any of it.

Honestly, you should sit back and ask yourself why you've internalized soo many racist tropes.

There is nothing brilliant is how you describe Collin Powell a General? I wonder if you have made the post of a General in your chosen career

Clarence Thomas who had a Yale JD is nothing brilliant? I wonder if you are pulling down trees in your career

It’s not a matter of race bro. You see your simplistic mind is working again. There are many black public officials that I would never question how they got their job because their competence and resume speaks for themselves. Condoleezza Rice, Collin Powell, Tim Scott, Clarence Thomas; these are all highly qualified and competent black people that EARNED their place the old fashioned way.

Even on the Democrat side, I have always said that Obama was a highly effective politician. That doesn’t mean I agree with his policies, it just means I acknowledge how adept he was at passing his garbage policies.

So it’s really not about race bro. But when I see a highly incompetent black person in a certain position, especially on the democrat side, I know there’s only one reason they are there. And that’s affirmative action. Even the democrats don’t try to hide it, they openly brag about it like it’s some virtue. So I don’t know why you are defending them on it.


To add to your point

Joe Biden will chose Kamala and Judge Ketanji but he had to say it that I will be picking a Black woman!! Why do you need to mention the black woman and make it seem that the most important qualification is the person being a Black woman

It would have been different if he just said "I will be picking the most competent American" and picked Judge Jackson but to play to the identity he had to ridicule her years of Harvard JD education and achievements to elevate the Black woman part

What is the most important part of Judge Jackson ascent to the SCOTUS is it that she is one of the most competent American at this time or just the black female according Biden

Why would I have to make General to consider a General not Brilliant? Hmm.. Weird analysis. Brilliant is a high bar for me. I know a lot of very successful people who I wouldn't consider Brilliant; more a confluence of opportunity, preparation and some smarts. I hate to say this, but Colin Powell was propelled by Republicans because he was a minority. He was an important voice (outside of lying about Hussein's WMD), but I think he even admits in his autobiography he wasn't a great student. Not taking anything away from or diminishing his accomplishments, he had to work hard, show talent in leadership and been smart to get where he was. If that's how you want to define Brilliant than go for me. That's not how I define it.
You are free to define brilliant anyway you want. But anyone who got to the peak of his career especially in a strict one like the military is brilliant to me


The irony given you were the same person who posted the below hours ago

IjeBos:


Ask yourself why you only question how/why minorities esp. women minorities got their jobs. Have you ever asked how any white person got their job? There are those of use who work doubly hard to leave a legacy that propels other minorities to new positions of power and more equal opportunities. And there are others like you, who hate themselves and try so hard to be accepted by people who hate them, that they work hard to tear down other minorities by using RACIST talking points in hopes that will bring them acceptance. Be proud of yourself Assh*l*.

Why are you not questioning Petreus, McChrystal and other white Generals. But Collin Powell the black General is the one under scrutiny and you identify as Democrats

Colin Powell was propelled by Republicans because he was a minority

The Democrats can barely hide their inherent racism anymore. They only believe the Democratic party is the only party who can lift black people yet almost50yrs of voting Democrats what is the lot of the average black person

Nice attempt. You've missed the point in your attempt to play gotcha. I didn't bring up Colin Powell. When he mentioned Colin Powell, I then added my opinion. My cut off is ALWAYS, are you smart or not. Don't care about the rest, man, woman, black, white. I'm allergic to STUPID people. If you want my opinion on the rest, ASK.

And more generally, If you want to talk about my view on affirmative action and White privilege, Ask. Otherwise take the gotcha games somewhere else.

You're right. Didn't like that approach. It did sort of diminish their accomplishments.
But, on the flip side, so what? The argument you're making relies on the proposition that at any moment there aren't dozens of Highly Competent Black women to fill that role.

And not matter what a large part of the country would have diminished their accomplishments regardless because they are Black.

God bless you. Very few on this thread have common sense. The Democrats always go out of their way to make clear the main reason they are picking a person is because of their race, gender or sexual orientation and then they get mad when we say that person is only in that position because of their race, gender and sexual orientation. These people are mightily confused souls I swear.

It is better to just say you would be picking the most qualified person and then go ahead and pick the person that fits whatever diversity box you are trying to check so as to not make it so obvious.

These people always broadcast their intentions openly then call you racist when you take note of those intentions. It’s like the greatest mind fvckery I have ever experienced. It’s just like how they were recently slamming republicans as racists for talking about the “great replacement theory” even though many democrats are on record saying their intention is to allow unfettered immigration in order to change the demographics and voting patterns of the country in democrats favour. They are on tape saying this themselves then attack republican for simply pointing out what they say lmao.

Baba I have learnt from the many idiots I have debated on this thread that there is no point reasoning with liberals. They are not rational human beings at all. They are ruled completely by emotions not logic. It’s a waste of time.

It matters when the main consideration the person picking you gave is that you are a black woman. Jackson probably bested many white Asian, Latino Black men and women to get to the post. Reducing her qualification to her gender is silly

Hw do you think that Judge Jackson felt when after all her years and accomplishment, she ws only picked because she is a Black woman.
All the white green blue Asian Latino men and women she beat in her career doesnt matter. She was only able to achieve because she was a black chromosome carrier

Actually, the Republican party has a history of elevating token Black people in order to pretend their party is not racist. See Clearance Thomas, See Herschel Walker.

I hear you on Biden, but I think what he has done has been important none the less. Of all the brilliant black lawyers in the US, why hasn't there been any on the Supreme Court prior to now. You're mad at Biden for what he did, but there should be more outrage for the fact that there haven't been any up until this point.

So every black person who excels in republican politics is automatically a “token black person”? sounds like you are the racist here.

And FYI Hershel Walker’s success in the GOP primary was mainly due to his personal friendship with Donald Trump. It had nothing to do with him being a “token”. The establishment didn’t even want him.

Yes, the same way that any black person who is allowed in the KKK is a token. You get my point.

And FYI, Trump wanted him to run because he was BLACK and thought he could split the Black vote with Warnock who is also black.
