That's not a particularly hard name to pronounce......

Thanks for the link.  I love that skit but hadn't seen it in so long I forgot about it

Or whites, for that matter.

For Whites it's generally absurd spelling of common names.

Not really the point.  In this case any subtle mispronunciation gets you a media pileup of of racism accusations.  And if you nail the pronunciation and whatever they're calling grammar,  it's patronizing.  There is no win.

AA-RON. lol

The defense rests.

That ain't the half of it. I could list some stoopid white people names, but it would probably offend half the people on the board. Not that I'm beyond that, of course.

No argument from me,  I hate everyone equally.  But I'm not backing down on blacks taking the prize for stupid, unpronounceable bullshit names.

As Dr. Sowell has taught us, each ethnic group excels in their different areas. 

[HankB]

Hell,  I can't pronounce her name and I consider myself pretty well read and literate.  I don't know why blacks think they can name their kids unpronounceable bullshit and then get offended when the rest of us are confused as to how to pronounce said name.

La-A, pronounced La dash uh, because the "-" it not be silent.

[Andiron]

Exactly.

I've taken more *expletive deleted*it from sheet wearing morons for pointing out Sowell and Thomas are both brilliant while pointing out that I have no use whatsoever for your average "urban" black. (or urban anything, for that matter).  That group acting like a bunch of violent, 80 IQ tribesmen have more than earned my contempt.  And then they have the audacity to blame me for it.  lol.

So yeah,  I'm not excited about Biden's affirmative action nominee with the unpronounceable, culturally appropriated* name.


*Thanks for clearing that up, Charby.

Classic.

The nomination video.

Biden lists what he considers her bona fides; "The courage to stand up for what she thinks is right".  What an extraordinary qualification... which has nothing to do with being a justice of the Supreme Court.   

And then he mispronounces her name.

That's okay, he's not an R

This is the Left's usual garbage - elevating non-whites to demigod, above-the-law status.

[Ben]

Hopefully it's nothing serious, but man, this sure has me hoping Thomas stays healthy into 2024. He's the best justice on the court right now, IMO.

[WLJ]

And many on the left are reacting exactly like you expect them to ranging from "Don't get Well" to lets get the ball rolling on his replacement now.

[Hawkmoon]

Meanwhile, back to the current opening: They (the left) just don't understand the Constitution, or the role of the Supreme Court.

Janette McCarthy Wallace, general counsel of the NAACP, said she was excited to see a Black woman on the verge of a high court seat.

“Representation matters,” Wallace said. “It’s critical to have diverse experience on the bench. It should reflect the rich cultural diversity of this country.”

Sorry, Ms. Wallace, but it's not about "representation," and it's not at all critical to have diverse experience on the Supreme Court. The "rich cultural diversity of the country" has nothing whatsoever to do with looking at a case and deciding if the underlying principles are in accord with the Constitution ... or not. All that's required (and is "critical") is an ability to read and understand what the Constitution says, and what the people who wrote it meant when they wrote it.

That's all. Nothing to do with "representation." Nothing to do with "diverse experience."

Man, the entire MSM is coming out in defense of child sex offenders in order to defend the appointee.

They are just getting ahead of the story when Zucker, Cuomo, H. Biden, and G. Maxwell start naming names. Their names.

Say what?  I must have missed an important memo.

Whatchu talking about, Willis?
