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.

Should Read: Black women feel sting of ‘reality’
No such headlines thouhg when Clarence Thomas was treated like absolute crap by the racist liberals who even went so,far as to Falsely accuse him in an effort to keep a black man off the Supreme court.
Associated “press” you suck!
No one has a problem with the fact that the SCOTUS hearings are racial discrimination?
Traumatizing lol spare me..god forbid we ask the lil black princess some questions about her record oh the horror.. maybe we should have asked her if she ever sexually assaulted anyone or if she loves to drink beer
“As if Republicans are ever going to win the black women vote. They should target black men.”
I agree. Black women are a hopeless cause. Lesbians are even worse. Black lesbians ..forget about it.
Knew it was a lot but number is staggering nevertheless. Collapse coming- unfortunately as per usual, they’ll be bringing rest of us down with them
As was the treatment of Clarence Thomas.
Cry me a river.
Only the low IQ liberal pukes who identify as female.
It can’t come about too soon to get as many RATS out of government as possible! If we had an honest to goodness MEDIA instead of the propaganda arm of the left this crap wouldn’t survive......it would be exposed for the lies of the left and enlighten the grossly ignorant!!!
One of these authors is still clamoring about George Floyd.
How could they know if this is what black women feel?
Were these stenographers biologist also?
“But there will be riots.”
More DNC talking points from racist demagogues, Partisan Media Shills and Stooges ping.
She will be confirmed to the star chamber and can devour us with her whims. The Asspress need not worry.

OMG!!!!!
A “black” and particularly a “black” woman cannot be seriously questioned about their credentials for anything without the questioners being called racist for merely doing what is their own due diligence.
Honestly, it does speak to the issue of race and how Black
women see themselves as oppressed.
I don’t doubt that some of these women do feel a bit uneasy,
but if they do, it’s because they simply don’t grasp the
issues at hand, and how woefully this woman is unqualified
for this position.
She’s about as qualified for this, as I am to be a surgeon.
One of the other women on the court never served as a judge.
That’s like a person holding a surgeon’s diploma, without
having seen a patient in your work life.
Does that then qualify you to do surgery? Not on my family
member it doesn’t. And that woman is not qualified to be on
the SCOTUS.
There is judgement involved, and never judging a actual case
from the bench, she’s has no clue what she’s doing.
Propaganda.
