I can’t do this anymore. Someone said Kentaji Brown Jackson being chosen was racial and gender discrimination. Because she was chosen for being a black woman.
You know there needs to be element of power and oppression for discrimination to work right? There has to be an element of someone actively stopping someone from having something for it to be called discrimination. So, unless Jackson or Biden is actively preventing white men or anyone else from ever holding a court position, it’s not discrimination.
I promise ONE black women being selected to the court, won’t prevent anyone else or discriminate from being nominated to the Supreme Court.
The way some people can’t tell the difference between discrimination and choosing someone for more representation and diversity is concerning. Wanting to hire a minority, someone in LGBTQ+ or a women is not discrimination, you are just racist, sexist and transphobic! White people, men and straight people have never been discriminated from holding any position or had to work as hard their minority counterparts to prove themselves. The fact people cant understand that is frustrating.
this is why we're still fighting!
also why i won't hear anything about how "the petition won't work" because:
that's what the incels are saying to lower morale
it obviously works or else these incels wouldn't make 6 counter petitions
the sheer number of signatures alone is why the media take notice of the campaign (to renew a supposedly unpopular show) and start calling out disney & LF for not protecting their POC and queer talents
please sign if you haven't and share if you can
there are more ways to be loud about this cancellation/renewal (that's the title of episode 1 of s2; i'm calling it now lol), and i will try to share it soon.
The way transphobes and bigots will use transgender and non-binary people as an example as why its okay for a person to identify as a different race is just weird…
Like those are not the same thing at all. Google is free!
