Before President Biden nominated Ketanji Brown Jackson to the Supreme Court, he said that the nominee would be a woman of color. Only 12% of the population of the United States are people of color. Since approximately half of these are women, this means that President Biden picked Ketanji Brown Jackson from a pool of only 6% of the population of the United States. The other 94% were not even considered at all. In technical terms, and in terms of Supreme Court eligibility, he believed that 94% of the population was inferior to the other 6%.
The definition of a racist is: “a person who believes in racism, the doctrine that a particular racial group is inferior to others.” The definition of misogyny is: “ingrained and institutionalized prejudice against women.” This clearly makes President Biden both a racist and a misogynist.
One can take that 6% number even further. A reasonable prerequisite would be that the nominee should be a lawyer, and every single justice on the court, dating back to John Jay, has been a lawyer. As of 2020, Black attorneys make up roughly 14.6% of all lawyers, and women comprise only 36.8% of all lawyers. This means that roughly 5.37% of the 1.3 million lawyers in the U.S. are Black women. So, President Biden picked he nominee from a pool of only 69,830 Black women lawyers, or only 0.02% of the population. He displayed racism, misogyny, and prejudice against the other 99.98% of the population.
