[Worthless Loser]

breh they did polling and over 90% percent of black Americans didn't believe him. If you believe him or not, no black man can identify with a privilege cac.

More black women didnt believe him than black men.

Maybe you didnt see some of the posts here during the hearings. shyt was toxic.

Everyone will come in here with an opinion without even actually reading the article.

People are in here defending this garbage? Really? nikkas are coming out of the c00n closet today.

On Tuesday night, I was in an auditorium with 100 black men in the city of Baltimore, when the subject pivoted to Brett Kavanaugh. I expected to hear frustration that the sexual-assault allegations against him had failed to derail his Supreme Court appointment. Instead, I encountered sympathy. One man stood up and asked, passionately, “What happened to due process?” He was met with a smattering of applause, and an array of head nods.

If you think Kavanaugh receiving some measure of support from black men in inner-city Baltimore is as strange as Taylor Swift suddenly feeling the need to become a modern-day Fannie Lou Hamer, then brace yourself: The caping for Kavanaugh does make a twisted kind of sense. Countless times, black men have had to witness the careers and reputations of other black men ruthlessly destroyed because of unproved rape and sexual-assault accusations. And as that Baltimore audience member also argued, if the claims were made by a white woman, expect the damage to be triple.

Kavanaugh’s emotional defense of his reputation against the claims of a sympathetic white woman resonated with these unlikely allies. And it wasn’t just in Baltimore, at the town hall organized for Ozy Media’s “Take On America” series. This bizarre kinship was something I noticed in my Twitter mentions, too, where black men were tossing out examples of how white lies had wrecked black lives.

Conor Friedersdorf: The divide over Kavanaugh isn’t as big as it appears

If anyone has the right to complain about unproved allegations or cry #HimToo, it’s black men. A report released last year, examining 1,900 exonerations over the past three decades, found that 47 percent of the people exonerated were black, despite the fact that blacks make up only 13 percent of the U.S. population. In sexual-assault cases, blacks accounted for 22 percent of convictions, but 59 percent of exonerations.

Those disparities also underline an equally important point that seems to be getting lost in the conversation. White men don’t ordinarily face the kind of suspicion and presumptions of guilt to which men of color are routinely subjected. If Kavanaugh were black, how many people would empathize and relate to his circumstances?

Click bait title, ok article but the tone is off, I'll unpack it later if I can be bothered.

Fukk this c00n. Most people only read the headlines. She knows what she is doing. Stop coddling c00ns. That's how we ended up with that kanye nonsense the other day. Giving c00ns a pass only emboldens them.

fukk outta here you fakkit, I just posted some shyt wrong with the article

1. I bet you didn’t read the article

2. The stuff you posted was wrong. The guy you quoted said “don’t worry, it won’t happen to you cuz ur not a privileged white man”.
This isn’t conveyed anywhere in the article, if anything Jemele mentioning the Brian Banks story shows that it does happen to Black men. There is no contradiction.

 

[UpAndComing]

And the Male Feminists on the Coli actually tried to root for her when she got fired from ESPN

 

[Atlrocafella]

Read the article. Title was definitely click bait, article was good nonetheless and made valid points which I agree with. I’m not rushing to condem anyone off of allegations, I gotta hear both sides and see some hard evidence. Women lie too much for me to take anything at face value. Brian banks case still makes me mad.

What black men see themelves in Brett Kavanaugh??!!!???

THAT'S WHAT IM SAYING, WHAT BLACK MAN IS IN THE SAME DAMN MINDSET AS BRETT KAVANAUGH... better yet why is she bringing up Black men in the article?!!?


EDIT: even if the article was clickbait why is she bringing up black males to sensationalize it??? c'mon we're tired of the bullshyt.

[Arithmetic]

Haven't read it yet. Did she mention the disproportionate amount of black men who were genuinely against Kavanaugh because they don't get the same presumption of innocence from a subset of America in both the public court of opinion and the criminal justice system?

 

[Lord_Chief_Rocka]

Quinnipiac or Pew forget which one, had a poll showing 80% of black PEOPLE were against his nomination.

 

[I Really Mean It]

I don't know a single black man who empathized with a spoiled Ivy league brat whose pampered life has shielded him from any accountability and rewarded him a free ride simply because he was born a wealthy, white male.
