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?

Fani Willis is an elected prosecutor in a high profile case against President Donald Trump.
Her position and the historic nature of the case put her in an elite class.
One would expect such a person to be polished and classy, and able to remain so even while trying to save her political ambitions, endlessly extemporizing her position on the witness stand.
Instead, what we saw was a defiant, childish, sour woman who spoke with the quasi-sophistication of a teenager.
It wasn’t simply that she sounded angry—she also sounded stupid.
BTTT
CNN bashed Fani as well.
They will tell the Judge how to rule and the calculation may be to toss her aside and regroup in another county with another prosecution team.
The entire case was created in D.C. and Fani / Wade traveled to D.C. to ge the marching orders and game plan.
Fani is just the black front to the DOJ prosecution / persecution of Trump and anyone who would stand near him.
But she’s just the black front to the DOJ coordinated prosecution of Trump. They got the plans for the prosecution during the D.C. meetings and Wade even billed for the time!
A complete jumbled mess of finances from personal to business to client money and cash. Of course, a Republican would’ve been audited into oblivion over all that.
I love also you can avoid any Georgia rules for reporting of political gifts by just having a “hoard of cash” and say, “Nah, I gave them that money back. No need to report!”
She may have been a fan of the hip hop duo Kriss Kross in her younger days LOL
Well done by keeping track of the link to lost it today.
It’s on obviously too good, too funny, too catchy for someone’s taste, because every online algorithm everywhere is shadowbanning it, suppressing it as a search result.
post it today
I recall a thread here about Newsweek being purchased for $1.
Even the WH will paper over her lies.
Willis insisted she never visited the Biden White House before filing charges involving Trump ...
but there are official White House visitor’s logs and multiple media sources confirming that she
visited Biden several times for several hours with Wade before filing charges against Trump.
The angry, aggressive, wildly gesticulating Fani in court was fighting for her political life.
But not a political life in backwater Georgia.
When she got the Trump case, her political dreams grew exponentially.
She even hired a PR firm to gauge her visibility and rate
her bona fides for crashing into the political “big time.”
She started losing weight and hired a photographer
to shoot her, posing w/ money-hungry political gravitas
written all over her ambitious ghetto-nurtured face.
But the Wade case stepped in the way of her political
ascent....and she’s desperately trying to make it all go away.
Yes, $1....
According to several people who have been briefed on the process, Mr. Harman’s bid appealed to Mr. Graham and the Post Company because Mr. Harman has said he would retain a significant number of the magazine’s 325 employees. The financial details of the sale were not known, though one person with knowledge of Mr. Harman’s bid said last week that he would pay $1 in exchange for absorbing Newsweek’s considerable financial liabilities.
I’ve heard other *women*, white, use unflattering words about black women - that it’s completely obvious to them why they’ve advanced to the position they have....and it’s not because they’re qualified.
Interestingly, the same white women don’t realize there’s some truth of that respective to themselves.
It certainly feels like this woke house-of-cards is about to collapse. Maybe it’ll take an air traffic control error to expose just how dangerous it is.
The first major diversity hire was Barack Obama, a man child that never ran a business let alone had a real job, extremely unqualified and incompetent, but just plain evil enough to satisfy his handlers. When he was installed I realized almost immediately that America as we know it was Over and he didn’t disappoint with his divisive racist rhetoric.
Yikes! Two words, Bitch: Foundation Garment
Thomas Sowell’s book “White Liberals and Black Rednecks” will explain how racial preferences in higher education hurt the group being “helped.” Its central thesis is how the baser distinctives of “southern culture” (such as contempt of authority, abuse of alcohol, “living by one’s wits” rather than by hard work, violent outbursts, and loose sexual morality, to name a few) are not based in Africa, but rather, the the fringes of Irish, Scottish, and English societies of the colonial period.
Every American should read (or listen to, as I did) the book. His writings are a balm of Gilead to heal the sin sick soul of America.
Regarding Fani, Forrest Gump’s mama taught him, “Stupid is as stupid does.” Hard saying, but if the shoe fits . . .
“Clearly it was fraud and the law partner knew.”
You mean Bradley? Wow. His testimony. He was between/among a rock and a hard place and another hard place. The tapdancing testimony was painful to watch.
I felt that he WANTED to tell the truth, but that he also wants to live.
It would be great to be a fly on the wall when he meets with the judge in camera when he can freely spill his guts.
Here’s what I found on the subject:
The first, on May 23, 2022, is labeled “travel to Athens: Conf[erence] with White House Counsel,” for which Wade charged $2,000 for eight hours’ work. The bill read that Wade also had an “interview with DC/White House” on November 18, 2022 for which he also billed $8,000 at a rate of $250 per hour.

Sowell is a very bright guy and an excellent economist.
The problem is that while the “bad culture” may not have been created by black people it took really well to a very large percentage of them—and relatively quickly. When you add a touch of anti-white racism you get a toxic mix that makes them a dangerous enemy of civilization that will destroy everything it touches.
