Congratulation to Karine Jean-Pierre on her promotion to White House Press Secretary.

Jean-Pierre is the first black woman and the first openly gay person to serve as White House Press Secretary.

@Pat nothing is more condescending racist than giving the job to the black lady because she's black. diversity and inclusion my ass, it is more like "i am racist and feel bad about it yet refuse to change".

@yes > implying she's not qualified and competent to do the job

@Pat

@2ck @Pat i hope she is but you and everyone else know that isn't why they hired her. it is 100% optics.

@yes @Pat actually, I don't know that, nor am I inclined to believe that by default.

@2ck @yes

If nanachi wants to learn about optics, just look in the mirror.

@Pat @2ck don't worry i never cared for optics, i care about intellectual honesty at all costs. i just want racism to end and those pretending to fight for "fairness and equity" to be shot in the back of the head by those who actually do and live it, not just use it as a fashion statement for thier friends.
