Andrew Gillum Instagram – I find it very interesting that some people đ hear Joe Bidenâs commitment to adding diversity to the highest court in the country by appointing a Black woman to the United States Supreme Court, and somehow interpret that as an âunqualifiedâ Black woman getting something she doesnât deserveâŚÂ
I guess, when being âwhite/maleâ is the default answer to every question, every open position, to every available opportunity for advancement – it probably would stretch the mind to consider a different option as anything other than equaling âinherently unqualified.â
Well some of us heard Bidenâs commitment to appointing a Black woman to the Supreme Court as an acknowledgment that this is an idea whose time had long ago come. We took for granted that you would know what we have always knownâ that if a Black person is being considered for advancement, they are already just as smart and qualified, if not more; just as prepared, if not more; just as ready, capable and able-minded, if not more than any other contender who might compete.
The privilege of white supremacy is that you only have to see the world through your chosen lens. The rest of us are required to scope out all of the angles – know them better than our own – – – then, only then, proceed.Â
