RE:      Reverse Discrimination

 

Former Vice President Joe Biden was an excellent candidate for President. I supported him on two prior attempts for the nomination. I am a former Democratic State Representative.

 

Former Vice President Joe Biden has used reverse discrimination to his detriment. After he became the front runner for the Democratic nomination, he immediately stated that his Vice Presidential running mate would be a black woman. He immediately removed qualified and good Asian woman, white woman, Native American woman and Hispanic woman from consideration.

 

Reverse discrimination is a form of discrimination and the use of it is a “Racial” use. Amy Klobouchar would have appealed to moderate Democrates and helped Biden win. Sen. Kamala Harris is NOT an African American and she only brings the most radical liberal base – who would never vote for Trump anyway.

 

Now he is showing his bias by NOT stating who is possible choices for the Supreme Court might be. He has stated that he would select a Black Female Jurist if he were elected, but will not state any names.  Wikipedia states that there are only 227 black Federal Judges, from which most nominees are chosen. Wikipedia further states that only 4.9% or 11 are females.

 

Again he has removed qualified and good Asian woman, white woman, Native American woman and Hispanic woman from consideration, and narrowed his choices to one of eleven.

 

Respectfully yours,
