NEW YORK (AP) — “Senator,” she said, letting out an audible sigh.
In that singular moment, Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson spoke for countless Black women who have had to gather all the patience, strength and grace within to answer insinuating questions about their credentials, qualifications and character.
It was Day One of questioning at the Senate Judiciary Committee as the Harvard-educated Jackson, the first Black woman to be nominated for the nation’s highest court, was making history.
The federal judge had to endure hours of public scrutiny from skeptics, namely the Republican senators who are erecting a wall of opposition to her landmark nomination, the first in the court’s 233-year history, and may vote en bloc against her confirmation.
“It was really traumatizing to watch,” said Melanie L. Campbell, president and CEO of the National Coalition on Black Civic Participation and convener of the Black Women’s Roundtable.
From questioning of Jackson’s view of books on critical race theory that drew her exasperated sigh — “They don’t come up in my work as a judge,” she said — to the loaded suggestion that the sentences she imposed on child pornography defendants were too lenient, the questions from the Republicans tapped into long-standing American grievances over race, class and public safety.
The insinuations that Jackson, a distinguished jurist and mother of two, is a secret radical liberal or poses a danger to the safety of children felt to some supporters as yet another example of highly qualified Black women having to endure indignities and distortions of their credentials, even as they shatter racial barriers in American society.

Poor things. Always blaming Whitey for their self-inflicted failures.
These are the people who can walk into a personnel office and walk out with a job any time, any place they want. They are sought after because they fill two quota slots. Three if they are L. Four if they are “trans.” Colleges compete with each other to grab all the available individuals who can check those two critical boxes. And they won’t pay any tuition.
They are the most highly privileged members of society.
Biden’s pick is being treated like royalty. She will be confirmed because she’s the right skin reflectance, the right sex, approves of abortion, hates this country, and is a separatist.
Are they sure they were black women? Did they bring biologists to check them out?
How does AP know they were women? I want to see their PhDs in Biology.
I wonder if judge Kavanah rings a bell with them?
Never mind, history begins for democrats, progressives and liberals when they wake up each day.

We will all feel the sting when this leftist, pedo-loving bitch is confirmed.
So the AssPress wants to convince me that angry black women will be angry. This may be the first truth ever committed by the AssPress.
I don’t see any mention there of Senator Biden filibustering the appeals court nomination of Janice Rogers Brown for a long time and threatening to block her if President Bush nominated her to the Supreme Court.
Ask Brown herself if she can name someone on the Supreme Court and she will probably say Diana Ross.
And there ya go!
I’m traumatized to!
Imagine! A candidate for the Supreme Court. Who doesn’t even know what a woman is!
Ain’t diversity grand?
Boo f’n Hoo
She will be confirmed. The Senate hearings for all SC justices in a joke. Her qualifications match Amy’s. Let it go.
If the questioning of nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson at the Senate Judiciary Committee was done on radio and race not given few if any would think she was fit for SCOTUS.
To many are stuck on race or sex not ability or wisdom and the race baiters use the race card for quotas not wisdom.
The wild card Democrats always play is “racism!”

The Kavanaugh hearings made me want to throw something at the TV. I have no sympathy for these black women now and their demands for special, kid glove treatment.
Black women feel traumatized? Truly?
Well, perhaps the author of this tripe should come out to So. Cal. and ride the Metro with me for a few days and bare witness to all trauma caused to fellow passengers by the feral horses of black women (and men) riding the train.
I am so sick of reading about all the offense, disrespectful and racism black people “feel” when, in fact, they themselves are the rudest, crudest, most violent, disrespectful and vile class of people I see everyday. They have absolutely no regard, respect or courtesy for anybody.
Piss on them and their feelings.
Time to grow up.
Shouldn’t the Associated Presstitutes be Banned from all social media for using the terms, women and woman in their diatribe without fully explaining the very definition of those patriarchal terms??
The Scocialists let us down.
I need to know if Ketanji uses buttermilk in her pancake recipe.
