As a Black woman and working professional, I've never been a huge fan of affirmative action and the recent rise of critical theory, and diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives has only bolstered my resistance. While it may seem necessary to some in order to right the wrongs of the past, I can sum up why these measures are an unmitigated disaster for hard-working Black Americans in two words: Fani Willis
Fani Willis is proof that DEI hurts black people
All because she went after a man of color (orange).
This article is nothing but old fashioned sexism. It's the tone policing that women constantly face.
At the beginning of her testimony, Willis said, Mr. Wade is a southern gentleman. Me, not so much.
What does Brett Kavanaugh's angry testimony say about gender and emotion?globalnews.ca
It was no surprise that Supreme Court Justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh would take the stand at yesterday's Senate Judiciary Committee hearing with the intention of defending himself. No one, certainly, was expecting a mea culpa. But what was surprising was the way in which he delivered his statements, vacillating between tears and angry, aggressive outbursts.
By contrast, Dr. Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexual assault, remained even-keeled and "pleasing," as Sen. Orrin Hatch noted, throughout her testimony. Aside from some quiet tears and choking up during her opening statement, she was calm, collected and "collegial."
Where Ford was self-possessed, Kavanaugh was aggressive, even bordering on belligerent, as he spoke over senators, cut them off, and in one instance, accused them of mockery.
Many noted that it was a textbook display of the double standard that allows men angry outbursts with no repercussions, while the same behaviour works to discredit women. The going argument among critics and observers was that if Ford had responded in the same way as Kavanaugh, she would have likely been deemed "hysterical."
