Schumer votes against Trump judicial nominee because he's white

While Schumer “is not a racist,” Graham tweeted, “this was an absolutely shameful reason to vote against a very qualified nominee like Marvin Quattlebaum.” He added, “Voting against a highly qualified nominee because of the color of his skin does nothing to bring our country and nation together.”


Meanwhile, in other threads... "DAE wonder why there's an uptick in white nationalism?!"

Not surprising at all from one of the leaders of the obstructionist party.

Obama won two terms because of skin color. And thats not just a opinion, its what most blacks said when asked. They wanted to see the first black president. Next time a woman runs again, I'm sure she will win because shes a woman. Then a black woman will win. Then someone asian, then someone latino...etc. People no longer vote on who would make a good president. But instead on being part of history by voting for "firsts" for a president.

I did not realise he was a republican remembering 8 years of hoe Republicans behaved during Obama’s presidency.

Did the authors of the opinion pieces in the OP know that Shumer is white?

Now that you've got the whataboutism out of your system, what's your opinion on the topic?

Did the authors of the opinion pieces in the OP know that Shumer is white?

Pretty sure both the authors and Lindsey Graham knew this. Also, Lindsey Graham is also white, so as to not shock you.

So?

I think he was just surprised at this revelation.

Sure, if you take context and history out of the equation, then you're left with racism - Republican math.

Voting against someone for not being your preferred skin color is okay when it is white?

It is interesting to contemplate the idea that this action on Schumers part is not supposed to make him a racist, but when Gov. Huckabee is attacked for being appointed to a Country Music governing board, he is roundly attacked by the haters on the Left because, allegedly, he has used words that are reminiscent of words used by other people who are on the outs with those critics.

IOW, how one phrases this stuff can make anyone a bigot--or completely exonerate him, too, if that is desired.

Which part of what Schumer said do you guys disagree with?

“It is long past time that the judiciary starts looking a lot more like the America it represents,” Schumer said. “Having a diversity of views and experience on the federal bench is necessary for the equal administration of justice.”

The part where you reject an otherwise qualified candidate because of the color of their skin.

Sure, it must just be a complete coincidence that all the 'qualified' candidates they keep finding just happen to be white males.

You think Trump is nominating people in a racist manner, therefore it is okay for Schumer to vote against them in a racist manner? Gotcha.

Spare me the 'poor white male complains about being discriminated against' stuff. I'm a white male too, and if you think we're victims of racism then you need to get out more.

I'm a mutt, and proud of it, thank you very much.

As for the rest of your rant, are you saying you're one of those types that believe it is impossible to discriminate against whites or men or what-have-you?

I think the complaint is that people vote for them because they want to say that they voted for the first X, rather than their policies, but I'm not sure.
