    Since the Supreme Court first convened in 1790, 113 justices have served on the bench. Of those, 107 have been white men. Trump just nominated yet another. It’s outrageous.

        Judge people by the content of their character not by the color of their skin.

        Since when was "judging people by the content of their character" the American way for many people???

        I don’t know, but most of the people I talk to live by that notion as do I. As someone who is so against racism I believe he should follow this premise.

        I wish that were true, but it's far from the truth. America will NEVER be a color blind nation. Too many different races and too many different beliefs. I'll just wait until the return of Jesus. At least, I have that blessed assurance.

        You know how nine white men on the Court seems totally normal but nine women or nine people of color seems totally radical? That's white male privilege, folks.

        I’m kind of glad we don’t have to have that same dumb conversation where conservatives scream that women/POC should endorse a nominee who would rule against their interests just because the nominee looks like them.

        To be fair, we shouldn't have expected anything different.
