Fani Willis Is an Embarrassment to Black People. She's the Proof That DEI Only Hurts Us
Newsweek ^ | Kim Davis

Posted on 02/17/2024 4:04:20 AM PST by TigerClaws

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?

“THIS right here is the tragedy of Affirmative Action.”

Absolutely! There are anomalies along the way, like Ben Carson, but they are few and far between. Who wants to take that risk?

Bradley knew of the relationship and sent text messages confirming it went back to 2019.

They were financial partners in a business and Fani was the D.A. opening up the money spigot. They did the early work at a discount rate to have that foot in the door. But Wade was making it happen through his romantic relationship with Fani.

Bradley was warned to shut up or he could lose his license to practice and he was a deer in the headlights. Then they brought up the sex harassment settlement. That may be a law license / bar issue — any member of the public can file a complaint. So he will be lucky to keep practicing law after this.

Wade lied and Fani lied but they played the Black Card — we don’t have to follow any rules because we do what we want and you’re racist if you question it.

But Deep State may push her aside and get someone more ‘camera friendly’ as the face of the case. Fani blew it and they can find a more articulate black prosecutor to take over the cause.

Doesn’t seem like law fare has really done anything other than convince Trump voters that he really is the only one standing up to the corrupt system.

Trump earned 4 BILLION this week alone off of Truth Social. So he can handle all these fines.

Fani also set this up for an appeal in Georgia whatever the ruling so actual trial will be post 2024.

Keep on denigrating and discriminating against straight, white, Christian men, and see how that works out for you.

I got a kick out of some of the parts of those hearings.

They ALL have their own law firm!!! I guess that gives them some sort of ‘red’ to have a broke ass office with no secretary and no large accounts. What a joke they all are - nothing but an African Peyton Place wonderland where they all cover each others foibles with the ever famous ‘I don’t recalls’ and loudly and proudly declare they won’t take down the BLACK man.

Disgusting. And a mockery of all that is good.

How about the man-bun guy at the end? Who was HE screwing — Wade or Bradley?

Not sure about that - women’s clothing has darts or room for breasts in the front while the back part is usually smaller and is flat. If I put on a t shirt backwards, the neck is high and my arms are uncomfortable while the shirt is pulling against my chest. It looks ok for a dress and looks like she is wearing it properly. BUT, she needs to rethink her panties and wear high tops or granny panties to disguise that dunlap.

It will work out just fine for them. We have been taken over, and I don’t think there’s any coming back.

May 23, 2022: Wade’s “Conf with White House Counsel” billed @ $2,000 for eight hours’ work.
November 18, 2022: Wade’s “interview with DC/WH” billed $8,000 @ $250 per hour.

Note: Fani pays him by the inch.

No it’s not backwards, it just zips in front.

One minute is the most you need to tell the difference between a Ben Carson or Thomas Sowell and a hood rat.

Usually a five second look will do the trick.

Body language is more than 90% of communication.

Kim Davis seems to be one of the Afro Heritage minority-minority as opposed to Fanny who is a leader of the Afro Heritage minority-majority.

Are men simply not aware that not all dresses zip in back? This makes our side seem stupid.

"As a Black woman and working professional, I've never been a huge fan of affirmative action ..."

Then why are you using DEI crap in the first sentence?  What a hypocrite.

He charged $250 an hour for drive time?

Who was there for “DC/WH”? What documents were handed to him? Was the entire case created in DC by the White House? We need the name of his handler.

Jim Jordan needs to be doing the cross examination of these clowns.

“It will work out just fine for them.”

Really? Have you ever seen “Idiocracy”? Try to imagine a world run by imbeciles like Fani Willis and Nathan Wade. Try to imagine any sort of technology or engineering being accomplished by such people.

Yup—all those ancient ruins we see in the desert southwest and wonder—what went wrong?

Now we know what went wrong.

They got stupid.

Then nature took over and killed them.

I don’t need to imagine; we’re there already. Generally, we are not advancing as quickly as before in technology and engineering. And it seems that it’s more Asians than whites who are advancing the world in those areas. But I could be wrong.
