Is it just me, or is Whitaker the poster boy for white male privilege?

[Empowerer]

Can you imagine any woman or any black or Hispanic person as unqualified, as corrupt, as unsuited, as inarticulate, or as unimpressive as this man clearly is ever rising to this level?

[Sneederbunk]

1. Either that or baldness.

2. Nope that is Kavanaugh and always will be.

5. All the Trumpets are!

6. They have multiple poster boys

[a kennedy]

9. Ditto......

[EffieBlack]

14. Kavanaugh was at least arguably qualified for the position he was nominated for

He's completely unsuited and unfit for it. But he did have at least the minimum qualifications.

18. Exactly what I thought...

You beat me to it.

[ananda]

3. This sure resonates with me!

Indeed

[riverwalker]

4. Oh yeah

A hot tub salesman and inventor of a “toilet for well endowed men” is acting Attorney General.
Unbelievable.

7. Clarence Thomas?

13. Whitaker makes Thomas look like Learned Hand

8. I'll still go with Brett Kavanaugh

Of course, Donald Trump is the King of white male privilege.

10. Yes DT is the poster boy of privilege, but Kavanaugh put is all in one package.

Alcohol consumption, demeaning women, demanding control and respect when not earned.

11. He's a bouncer for more powerful privileged males.

[dalton99a]

12. Yep, a useful and obedient dumb jock

15. Thankfully, for the most part, they are incompetent boobs.

When the press refers to low hanging fruit in indictments, I think they usually mean the really dumb ones. They leave a trail that even Inspector Clouseau could follow and unfortunately for them they are messing with the top legal minds and best investigators available.

16. He's one aspect of it, for sure, as you described.

In terms of career arc, that horrible, sweating dumbass does owe much to his whiteness. That, and being some kind of “useful idiot” to someone, somewhere.

As mentioned in a post above, our latest right-wing SCOTUS addition is THE poster boy for white privilege. Take away that child’s wealth, opportunity, education, frat/bro “culture” immersion, and family connections... just leave him his white privilege, and you get the Whittakers of the world—the bozos, the muscle, the basic, mid-level Neanderthal.

But Kavanaugh? That dude is as WHITE as a klansman’s robe. He’s downright translucent!

[Mrs. Ted Nancy]

17. Betsy Devos has.

She's a disaster.
