Supreme court Justice

As the President begins the process of nominating a new justice his words from the campaign are being repeated. He said he would select a Black female. There are a number of well qualified Black female judges who could do a proper job as a justice. The problem is that the charge could be leveled that they would not have gotten the job if they had not been Black and female. This has been around since affirmative action started in the early 70's. When a women got a job or a promotion the rumors swirled around that she only got the job because she was a women. These types of feelings were so common that the phrase token Black or toke woman came into usage. The constitution does not specify the requirements to be a justice which means there are no requirements, that anyone can be a justice. Instead of selecting a candidate from the general public Biden has limited his selection to 6% of the population leaving out the other 94%. He made that campaign promise for political reasons. He did the same thing selecting a vice president. It is as if the color of your skin or your gender speaks to your qualifications.
