AAs 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.
Willis is the prosecutor in one of the nation's major cities and most high profile cases against former President Donald Trump. Her position and the historic nature of the case she is prosecuting put her in an elite class most Black people will never even dream of reaching. One would expect such a person to be polished and classy, and able to remain so even while responding to an uncomfortable barrage of questions on the witness stand.
Instead, what we got was a defiant, childish, sour woman who spoke with the sophistication of teenage girl at her first college party.
It wasn't simply that she sounded angry—she also sounded stupid.
As I watched her testimony with my husband, an unspoken dread passed between us, weighted by a certain type of sadness. We understood instinctively that we were watching result of a diversity-first system that ends up elevating the weak while simultaneously besmirching the strong.
Willis is an elected official, but to even be in a position to run for one of the highest offices in her state means she has passed through elite job after elite job. She has received degrees, awards, and accolades.
How on earth, then, does such an "accomplished" woman sound like a freshman college student while participating in the trial of the century?

“What the hell was Nathan Wade thinking”
Follow the Money, and the ride.
On the plus side, she provided one of the best examples of combative ignorance that I’ve ever seen.
Good, because you'll never end discrimination by discriminating.
For sure. Fox has shown the reactions by various other "sophisticated" movers and shakers and many think she hit a home run and/or really helped her case.
They have filled the government at all levels with affirmative action incompetent blacks many of which are racist towards white folk. None of this was a mistake and was all done by design.
too funny
Wade was thinking about that $650K cash he got, I guess.
The dress does her no favors, but it is not backwards.
He was especially irritating because he had to stop and think a long time about everything, every question and then weasel word his answer. I was hoping a lawyer would ask him his name more than once just to see him have to stop and think again.
Could be, I agree with that. Or, she is being “outed” and forced to be disgraced. Circumstantial, yes, however the flag pin is upside down.
Consider the MO of so much of what is going on now - a big reveal. I believe the latest fani troubles were known even before the case was brought out - to ‘out’ fani - have her get into the weeds, and then destroy her. Similar with Pence, Barr, the uni-party in general.
That does seem tp be the case: New York, Philly, Baltimore, Chicago, KC (in the news this week) and so on. But people keep voting them in.
Conservatives are hurt when we go down rabbit holes like her dress being on backwards. Even if it was, which it was not, it gives the propaganda media the opportunity to attack us for being stupid liars.
Read FB comments; there’s a big chunk of the demographic thinking she’s their Churchill.
Correct and we have been so for decades.
Whoa. Is Fani wearing a Fani pack under that hideous dress? The dress she has on backwards?
Buy a girdle ya #$%!!#
Some black men like ‘em blubbery. I guess Wade is one of them.

Kim Davis was the white county clerk in Kentucky who refused to issue gay marriage certificates in 2015.

It makes absolutely no sense. Leads me to believe that she was set up to fail. The left will blame Trump and wave the race card.
I’m sorry, didn’t the good people of Fulton County elect her. let them wallow in their decision even after the judge moves the trump case elsewhere.,
