I can get that, especially with the folks who distrust big city slicker types. Newsome picked her for this spot so I’m assuming they did their due diligence on what was legal. Outside of that that she lives in Maryland doesn’t really matter here. Yep, due diligance done.... Black? Female (I am not a biologist btw) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not a huge fan of this public announcing of such a move. It isn’t good for the pick and just sounds a bit gross. But I get it, I read he was trying to address not replacing Kamala with a black woman.

Clearly, they're the only ones qualified. Luckily the party who's line you toe is represented by 45 whites, 36 of them being white dudes. Sorry that all 49 aren't white males. I know you must be crushed since by your indignity over Newsome appointing a black female you clearly think only white males are qualified. Why else would you complain so strenuously?

BeachGuy23 642 Posted October 2, 2023 Republicans have 244 whites (the vast majority white males) in congress and a grand total of 29 non whites. And yet they cry about Newsome adding a non-white, non-male? It's amazing how incredibly out of touch and elitist the current crop of conservatives are. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think this isn’t smart politics though. I do also get when you replace one of two black women to ever have served in the Senate you find someone with similar background.

Why is wrong to appoint a qualified POC if the group they're joining is OVERWHELMINGLY white? And why do you keep assuming she's not the most qualified? Can you explain why it's bad to appoint a qualified POC to a group that's way way overrepresented by whites? Particularly a group that's supposed to represent the entire US.

Only saw that in one article that I recall. My guess is that he was picking from the party. We know that about 92% of the black folks who vote, vote Democrat. I'm willing to bet that the 8% make up virtually the entire Republican black constituency. In that population group, you're probably talking of about less than 1% of the entire black population are Republicans. There are 50 Republican Senators. What's 1% of 50? A half, right? So there only needs to be 1 black Senator to give the Republicans TWICE the representation that fits their caucus. When you only have a small percentage of the population to choose from, why would you think there's an abundance of candidates available to you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
