James Clyburn\u2019s endorsement in the 2020 primary.<\/p>\n<p>No one objects to a qualified black woman being nominated to the highest court \u2014 and there are several worthy candidates, even if some have ideological views that might still prompt a conservative Republican to vote against their confirmation.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"D-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B1\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<figure id=\"gmxrevmore\" class=\"H\"><\/figure>\n<p>Rather, what is objectionable is the fact that Biden \u2014 who had to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2019\/04\/30\/joe-biden-thought-anita-hill-lied-promised-defend-clarence-thomas\/\">apologize<\/a> to Anita Hill on the campaign trail \u2014 has placed race and sex first.<\/p>\n<p>Such criteria are generally considered unconstitutional by the Supreme Court\u2019s own previous jurisprudence. They are also demeaning to the nominee, exclusionary toward other qualified candidates, and corrosive of public trust in the judiciary.<\/p>\n<p>The reality is that Biden and the Democrats don\u2019t particularly care about the rise of black women in government, and have zealously tried to undermine them on many occasions.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p>As Breitbart News\u2019 Paul Bois <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2022\/01\/30\/biden-filibustered-black-woman-judges-nomination-two-years\/\">noted<\/a> earlier this week, Biden filibustered a conservative black judge, Janice Rogers Brown, nominated by then-President George W. Bush, for two years. Democrats were afraid that Republicans might appoint her to the Supreme Court and take credit for that historic milestone.<\/p>\n<p>A more recent example is that of Jackie Lacey, the former District Attorney of Los Angeles County. She was the first black woman to hold that position. She presided during a time when relations between the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and the black community had <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2018\/06\/08\/us\/california-today-los-angeles-police-chief.html\">improved<\/a> dramatically \u2014 until the Black Lives Matter movement arose, and targeted her, claiming that she was not doing enough to prosecute police officers. They threatened her and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/politics\/2020\/03\/02\/la-county-da-husband-gun-black-lives-matter-activists\/\">marched<\/a> to her private home.<\/p>\n<p>Enter George Soros, who had begun spending millions of dollars to elect radical left-wing prosecutors who would pursue \u201ccriminal justice reform\u201d in American cities. At first, some Democrats resented his intervention, since Soros\u2019s candidates were usually running against incumbent Democrats. But then they all fell in line \u2014 most notoriously L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti, who shamefully withdrew his endorsement of Lacey in 2020 and backed Soros\u2019s man, George Gasc\u00f3n, instead.<\/p>\n<p>Gasc\u00f3n has presided over a staggering rise in violent crime, which recently claimed the life of Jacqueline Avant, a wealthy black woman widely known and admired for her philanthropy. Avant was murdered during a home invasion and robbery, allegedly by a man who had been released from prison on parole supervision.<\/p>\n<p>When <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/crime\/2021\/12\/09\/soros-funded-d-a-george-gascon-blames-the-system-for-murder-of-black-icon-jacqueline-avant\/\">asked<\/a> to explain the murder, Gasc\u00f3n blamed the \u201csystem.\u201d Yet not one of the Democrats who endorsed him has backed the ongoing campaign to recall him.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B3\" class=\"a8d adSo\"><\/figure>\n<p>In the 2020 election, when Republican Winsome Sears became the first black lieutenant governor of Virginia, Democrat pundits <a href=\"https:\/\/www.breitbart.com\/clips\/2021\/11\/04\/dyson-winsome-sears-is-a-black-mouth-moving-justifying-gops-white-supremacist-legacy\/\">claimed<\/a> she was a&nbsp;\u201cblack mouth moving\u201d and \u201cspeaking on behalf of a white supremacist legacy.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>There are other, more subtle, snubs. White House press secretary Jen Psaki defends Biden\u2019s use of race and gender to select a Supreme Court justice. Yet she cannot and will not explain how she has her own job, bypassing a black woman, Symone D. Sanders, who paid her dues by working for Biden throughout the 2020 presidential campaign. Sanders was relegated to the vice president\u2019s office and recently quit to join MSNBC.<\/p>\n<p>Harris is, of course, the first black woman to be elected vice president. Yet somehow she has been given all of the worst and most difficult tasks \u2014 solving the border crisis, for example, which Biden <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/politics\/border-crisis-biden-you-should-come-debate\">caused<\/a> by urging migrants to come to the U.S.<\/p>\n<p>The Democrats do not care about the advancement of black women as such, nor about whether black women benefit from their policies. Democrats\u2019 main interest is the exploitation of identity for political purposes \u2014 and, sadly, it seems to work.<\/p>\n<p><em>Joel B.
