Opinion | Black women hurt for Ketanji Brown Jackson. And are angry on her behalf.

this week should have been a moment of pride for our nation, but instead of being a high point, the nomination of the first African American woman to the Supreme Court became a painful reminder of the racism, sexism and downright evil that men and women can do in service to white supremacy. It may also be a defining moment for the Democratic Party’s most loyal base: Black women.

. And during that bacchanalia of thinly disguised racial hatred and animus aimed at Jackson, Black women watched the members of the party that nominated her barely defend her. What was always going to be a difficult hearing turned into a brutal show of hatred by Republicans. And Democrats let it happen.

With the exception of Sen. Mazie Hirono, D-Hawaii; Sen. Jon Ossoff, D-Ga.; and, to some extent, Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., Democrats did not defend Jackson as carefully or thoroughly as they should have., saying the Democrats"stranded" Jackson, leaving America with the optics of Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., controlling the gavel but leaving her alone to fend off QAnon smears and relentless attacks. Lithwick counted Booker’s defense of Jackson as Wednesday’s only highlight.

AntheaButler NOBODY HATES HER , FALSENARRATIVE !! BUT THEY DISAGREE ON HER NOMINATION BASED ON HER IDEOLOGY & WEAK STANCE ON CRIME, ESPECIALLY PEDOPHILIA DisgustedDemocratVoter

AntheaButler

AntheaButler That's exactly how the Dems acted for President Trump's appointees. Karma.

AntheaButler

AntheaButler Kinda like the liberals brutality during the previous 3

AntheaButler All women were disgusted at these sham hearings. Yes, she suffered hatred as a black person but the hatred aimed at her as a woman runs rampant in this country regardless of skin color. Arrogant white men can’t handle intelligent, experienced, knowledgeable, strong women.

AntheaButler If you think she just let that happen without an agenda then you have no real respect for her at all. She single-handedly exposed the GOP and the supreme court for exactly who they are for all time and in time for the 2022 elections. Give her some credit.

AntheaButler It’s ok….let america see them for who they are….problem is….they already know who they are….wanna bet if you go into southern Arkansas or lower Alabama and ask folks on the street what they think about her…..bet they say she is a pedophile ….

AntheaButler A nominee judge must face tough questions no matter the race or the gender. Democrats always gives hard time to conservative judges.

AntheaButler I don’t like her

AntheaButler Judge, I am so very disappointed in our Democrats. You needed support. You didn't get it. I didn't watch. I couldn't. I hate Raphael Cruz, hate him. And Hawley? Discusting. I never thought our own base would let you down. Never! God bless Cory! He's my guy! I'm so sorry.💜

AntheaButler What she went through is what we as blk women go through on a weekly bases in corp America the same tears she cry we cry. Yes the Dems allowed it which was shameful. RR behavior was unacceptable.

AntheaButler Serious question. Why do Republicans hate people of color?

AntheaButler there were no racist questions, to confirm her she needs to answer questions about cases she oversaw, and basic things happening in our society, gender identity, crt, pedophilia, religion are things that could end up in the United States supreme court.

AntheaButler And the Democrats do the same for Republican nominees….it’s ridiculous!

AntheaButler I thought the same way,then I thought, anyone who agreed with GOP Racist animals, no hope there,if there are any Republicans that might have some compassion and intellect would see directly the deep racism and hatred in the country and might think otherwise in their voting.

AntheaButler No, Republicans gave her a chance, her record for being weak on sentencing IS troubling though. That & she’s evidently is so controlled be Liberal Opinion that she cannot differentiate btw a man & a woman. How is she going to be free to be unbiased? The answer? She won’t. 🤔

AntheaButler Why blame Democrats? Blame the culprits. Hello she is the judge she should show how to defend herself to show her character.

AntheaButler Amen!

AntheaButler Oh God, it wasn't that bad. Please stop pouring gas on things that are relatively benign. I think she will be confirmed. We all need to dial it back a bit. Trump arose through intolerance and not all of was the republicans. We need a national mom to tell us all to play nice.

AntheaButler You truly are so sad

AntheaButler She got off light.

AntheaButler That one's on DickDurbin who apparently forgot what powers he had with his position. Or did it on purpose to lure the GOP into their attacks for use in the upcoming elections.

AntheaButler

AntheaButler That’s true

AntheaButler NBC is bad

AntheaButler BS . YOU are using HER to try and anger the base , it's the politics of hate .

AntheaButler

AntheaButler Both-siding again?

AntheaButler Of course. Because liberal Democrats are always so cordial with conservative nominees 🤣🤯

AntheaButler Now do Kavanagh and Barrett

AntheaButler She has a proven record of going easy on pedos

AntheaButler Move on. Far too much political capital has been wasted on a Supreme Court justice who, though important, will not change the balance of the court by that much.
