'Of the 115 people who have served on the Supreme Court, 108 of them have been white guys. So maybe it's actually the other side that has just been looking for the best available white men,' Elie Mystal on criticism to a Black woman on the Supreme Court.

Topher Grace needs to give his opinion on this and needs to do it in a big hurry.

Our original Constitution had no law regarding a right to vote. It was decided that the only people who could vote were white male land owners over the age of 21. Some people today, never read the memo that things have changed.

العناصر النسائية تتصدر الموقف

لايريدون ان يتركوننا وشأننا

You’ve never heard of any of those women

Its our turn now. The republicans party can make stupid statements all they want. They did the same thing to add republican justices. Not “liberals” but “conservatives” to unbalance our left and right winged balance since its only red and blue. What happened to independents.

If Biden hadn't pandered to blacks and keep his mouth shut and just nominated a black women when the time came, all would be good. But now, she will forever be known as the justice picked just because she's black.

This white guy doesn't even get a complete FBI investigation even after 4,500 possibly Criminal tips. This white guy screams, yells, cries and is belligerent while under oath at his hearing. FOUR THOUSAND, FIVE HUNDREDS FBI TIPS...

I have a horrible feeling that the Senate somehow will not allow a black woman on the supreme court. I don't trust Manchin or Sinema not to stab everyone in the back again. They voted no against the voting rights bill and this isn't much different.

Very much so …historically white men are the ones who have received preferential treatment.

Sometimes I feel like there r only 2 races; white/black. All we ever hear about. I don't believe in choosing the nominee by skin color but if that is going to be the plan then why wouldn't it be an Asian? Or Native Am? Are we trying for equal representation?

We need someone who can represent the transgender community!! TrannyRights

Competence not genes

1st native American? Nah 1st Asian American? Nah

How can you live in a country that hates half of its citizens?

Awful to see the administration doesn't think Indingenous Women have anything to contribute.

How can it be Supreme without a Black Woman member.Respect,the law,and the people it represents.

USA is founded on white supremacy, enslavement, genocide, intercontinental slave trade, more genocide and all of this is woven into the 🇺🇸 constitution; the SCOTUS is no exception. For reference, see document of discovery used as recently as 2006.

1000s of people are qualified to serve on the court. It’s about time the court look more representational of the actual U.S. population.

They aren't getting the job on merit only getting it because they are black

I'm autistic with PTSD, suicidal depression, anxiety, and agoraphobia. I was denied SSDI after my ALJ hearing... I need help to survive.

None of the above

Cancelled joy Reid is proof that hiring a woman because of her color doesn’t mean they can do the job, right Kamala.

I really don’t care if white black green. Just pick the best. Get it? GetAClue

MICHELLE CHILDS!!

Increase number of SCOTUS justices to 13 (thirteen) POTUS

This should never be. It should only be about one's qualifications and not their skin color!!! Therefore, there are Asians, American Indians etc....why aren't any of them considered!!!

So fed up with people using skin color for reasons that no longer exist! It should never ever be defined by one's skin color rather by one's character, behavior, compassion, respect for others, kindness, truthfulness, and caring for others! ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!

This headline misses the issue. It's not that there is a problem with picking a black woman. It's that there is a problem with announcing it beforehand. It's patronizing, dehumanizing, and most likely illegal and unconstitutional. Just go at ahead and pick one. Why announce it.

We have the highest standard of living in the world. Those old white men were doing something right. You think the standards in Uganda are better? Well we going there now

He’s going to choose a woman based on gender and color. How sad for her. She worked her ass off to get where she is and none of it matters. Gender and color is what Joe is looking for.

This is all for show. They told her she won’t even have a vote or any input. It’s bullshit

As long as she's not another looneytoon like ol Maxine, I'm all for it.

It worked, so why fix it

The more rights, opportunities, advantages there are today the more many on the left are complaining than ever before. The more some have the more dissatisfied they are.

Since almost all the laws, government and judicial system came from and thanks to white men it is understandable. Doing your usual nonstop race card playing? Neither has there been a woman up there from certain white groups either.

Hmmm...108 of them white guys...wait maybe because white guys invented the Supreme Court?

Biden has stated his illegal intent so even if his choice of a black woman is the most qualified she will be illegitimate. The Court should step in.

I found two Black woman that would be great on the Supreme Court.

It was Obama who nominated Merrick Garland a white man to the Supreme Court, so explain that? I'll be waiting to hear what you have to say.

CNN washingtonpost nytimes 108 out of 115? Astounding!! You can look across all other areas of govt like the Senate, House, Presidency & it is the same overrepresentation. Now you know why not just America but the world is f**ked up!

What happened to the words of MLK to pick on character not color?

Biden is expected to nominate a Black woman to the Supreme CourtPresident Biden and his legal team have spent a year preparing for this moment: the chance to make good on his pledge to name the first Black woman to the Supreme Court. From The New York Times So Trump appoints two white men, including a credibly accused rapist and one white woman but Biden is playing identity politics if he names the first ever Black woman to the Supreme Court. No surprise that trumpers and fox are right out of the gate with their idea that a black woman couldn't possibly be qualified.
