AP - For Black women, hopes and dreams rest on Biden court choice
NEW YORK (AP) — When the pressure gets intense, law student Jasmine Marchbanks-Owens likes to wander the hallways of Howard University, examining the faded, framed photos of prominent Black graduates of decades past.
Howard Uni - proud new home of Nikole "1619" Hannah-Jones
"It’s just really inspiring to be able to see people that look like me that attended this university and became attorneys," says the first-year student, whose great-great grandmother was born into slavery. "So, when I get stressed out, I like to walk down here and look at all the names and see all the faces."

Most of the faces are men. But Marchbanks-Owens stops by the photo of one prominent woman, Pauli Murray, a 1944 graduate whose legal theories influenced the landmark school desegregation case Brown vs. Board of Education, argued by future Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall. In 1971, Murray also wrote then-President Richard Nixon, mostly tongue in cheek, to suggest Nixon make her the first woman on the high court.

#1 Yes, placing your "hopes and dreams" in the hands of a decrepit old half-wit politician who has done virtually nothing for the black community for 50 years, that's the ticket.

Nicely done AP. Nicely done.

#2 Joe Biden was a guest of honor at the funeral of the Grand Wizard of the KKK. Obviously he cares about blacks.

He raped a woman, Tara Reade. Obviously he cares about women.

Neither of these will ever be reported by AP.

#3 What if Clarence Thomas identifies as a black woman for six months of the year?

#4 "It’s just really inspiring to be able to see people that look like me"

Didn't some preacher say something about the 'content of character and not the color of their skin'? Anybody remember him?

#5 ^ Some people come naturally to seeing the world in such simplistic, superficial terms. Others have to be carefully indoctrinated into it over years of public schooling and media propaganda exposure.

#6 Hanging your 'Hopes and Dreams' on anything Biden does might not be a very good idea. The guy literally thinks in N-words.

#7 So, an very OLD WHITE GUY, leader of the political party that supported and used the KKK and instituted Jim Crow, covered up lynchings, still engages in Racial conflict for votes and has his own questionable racial discriminatory history.

Has openly stated he will violate Federal Law by engaging in RACIAL and SEXUAL hiring discrimination?

I guess only a Liberal Democrat could get away with it and the MSM remain quiet?

#11 Perhaps the most racist, talk down to, condescending thing I've ever read.

That's the usual way Liberals multiply their ranks, MM.

How High was supposed to be a comedy, not an instruction manual.
