For Black girls, the possibility of Ketanji Brown Jackson being the first Black woman on the Supreme Court is a moment of promise, hope and the breaking of yet another barrier.

“Having someone who knows what it’s like to support clients who are disadvantaged in the system ... I think that’s kind of what makes her unique,” Bofah said.

“It’s great to be the first, but you never want to be the last,” McBride said. “One singular person can’t be the one to make change. It has to be followed up by more and more people that are willing to make change.” But those who say that are failing to see how unimpeachable Jackson’s accomplishments are, McBride said, from the judge’s Ivy League degree to her experience on the bench.McBride said it reminded her of attending a summer camp for media studies at the University of Georgia a few years ago. She said she did twice the work of her classmates but was still accused of slacking off by the instructor.

Breana Fowler, a 17-year-old high school senior in Charlotte who wants to become a lawyer, said her mother used to joke that she would become the first Black woman to be a Supreme Court justice. To see the moment at hand much sooner than either of them thought possible, with someone like Jackson in the role, remains surreal.

That’s why seeing Black women in leadership who embrace their identity means so much to Morgan. She said it’s like looking into a mirror and seeing herself and what’s possible.

Bedwainch Magic!!!!

Quite an achievement! We wish her a Solomon's wisdom!

There has to be better choices out there.

Interesting note at the bottom of this story. So they pay AP to write stories? How much of this happens? media 'The Associated Press’ reporting around issues of race and ethnicity is supported in part by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute’s Department of Science Education'

THAT'S A LIE FROM THE PIT OF HELL PropagandaArmOfWhiteSupremacy NoBlackAgendaNoBlackVote

What 'barrier?' The bedwench barrier? 🤔

BLACKGIRLTRAGIC

Whatever

You don't speak for black people!

How superficial.

Asian judges are more qualified but Asians represent smaller voting bank

Why does she support letting pedos out early then ?

Why are there barriers in a 'great and free' country? Where is liberty and equality? Even when there is diversity the oppressive system remains in tact.

Divested

Savvy Black Americans (Freedmen) do not want Ketanji Brown Jackson as SCOTUS. She may as well be a white racist woman. Please stop the propaganda. She is aligned with whiteness. You can have her. The Black American Freedmen delegation fully rejects her and do not request a trade

Stop projecting. MSM.

Can't wait to tell my future daughters that if are willing to fuck your own ppl over, then you too can become a Supreme Court Justice.

So Neil Armstrong should have declined to fly into space because no white man had done it before? Do you also believe only British wizards can take inspiration from Harry Potter?

They should all want to be given a position based on their merit not because of the color of their skin. You should never want to be given a job for that reason alone. Do better.

Let’s hope those girls don’t meet any of the pedophiles that Brown gave light sentences.

Kentaji is just a black face in a white space whose taking her marching orders from white folks. She's the female Clarence Thomas.This woman will do nothing to advance Foundational Black Americans. She gives the appearance of doing something substantive for us while doing nothing

This is just another symbolic gesture to numb the aggrieved. She’s divorced from Black society. This is not a win. Now cutthecheck.

While serving in the Senate, Mr. Biden filibustered the nomination of Janice Rogers Brown for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia — twice — before she was finally approved in 2005 after a two-year fight. She was a black female jurist

If Joe Biden & other Dem Senators weren't racists, this could have happened 19 years ago.

Males becoming transgender are now crushing it and setting new world records as females!!! I just finished a year of female hockey as a trans/male and led the league in goals!!! I am a GOAT female hockey player.

Biden said he would find a black female and he did!! Rejoice!! She's not gay as well, but it's a start. If you're a gay, black, female, rejoice that affirmative action will help get you a promotion in the future!

No barriers are broken as long as there is a justice System for White and non Black people and another justice system for Black people. As long as reparations are not paid, no barriers are broken.

When they focus less on celebrating WAP and more on pursuing education, we’ll give it a second look.

Make sure to tell them about how Janice Rogers Brown would have been if not for Dems attacking her and also make sure to tell them how Ketanji supports pedos

Look up to a woman who is sympathetic to child porn collectors? Great role model.

AP move the important part above the fold. i.e. Totally qualified.

Yes. They to can get ahead not on achievements, but affirmative action based solely in the color of their skin. 🤦‍♂️
