| h/t Instapundit [TheNewNeo] The Democrats thought Brett Kavanaugh was a safe target. Accusing a white prepster named "Brett" would be a great way to achieve several goals: stopping him from changing the balance of SCOTUS in favor of conservatives, and showing solidarity with women and with #MeToo. Who on earth would identify with Kavanaugh except other white preppy guys on the right, and they weren’t going to vote for Democrats anyway, so no great loss. Well, it turns out that some women are concerned about the men in their lives, too. False accusations can ruin nearly anyone (women included, although I’m not sure how many women consider that aspect). However, another obvious group that might look at the Kavanaugh hearings and become concerned about what was happening to him is black men. If that sounds counter-intuitive to some people, it certainly doesn’t sound counter-intuitive to me. It occurred to me, while watching the proceedings, that black men might not take too kindly to this little exercise in Believing Women No Matter What. ...Why didn’t it occur to Democrats that their approach to Kavanaugh might bother black men as well as white ones? My theory is that Democrats now think so completely along racial lines that it probably wouldn’t occur to them that a black man could identify with something happening to a white man, and a preppy white man at that. |

| #1 The "selective logic" is baffling, no? Double Plus Bad: Racial Profiling, Stop and Frisk and the like... Double Plus Good: 'Believe the Women', 'No Need For Due Process' and the like... The Man in Black in The Princess Bride(1987) said it best: "Truly, you have a dizzying intellect!" |
