Tucker Carlson Argues Black SCOTUS Noms Should Think Like Rappers, And I Can’t Make This Headline Sound Less Awful

Fox News host Tucker Carlson wants to know: If Supreme Court Justice nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson really represents Black women, then why doesn’t she think like a “rap star”?

So, Tucker is mad because Jackson breaks his concept of what a Black person should be by being the same as any other human he knows aside from the color of her skin?

Show me that you’re a racist without saying that you’re racist…yeah, that pretty much covers it, even though he regularly displays his racism for the world to see. “She’s just like me!” would convince a regular, moral person that racism is wrong, but people like Tucker just double down because they are convinced that someone who looks different must be different, because they need to feel superior to them. The world will be much better off with fewer Tuckers in it, and more Jacksons.

And truly, who is better to judge the quality of representation of the views of African Americans than Tucker Carlson?

OMG, he almost said it! Because you know he thinks it!

What street that Tucker Carlson ever goes to has random rap stars on it?
Should we get our white justices by picking random country western stars off the street?

It took several decades to get warnings on cigarettes. We have yet to see the FCC move on health warnings, e.g.


Turn off Fox News before the rest of your brain turns to mush.

Tucker Carlson and other FAUX news hosts don’t talk and act like the news hosts (e.g. Walter Cronkite) i grew up with. Maybe he thinks his idiotic performance is the cultural equivalence of rap. But it isn’t. It’s just racism.

The more reporting on Tucker I see, the more squeamish I feel. It’s like everyone in the room is watching a baby pick at its butt and then sniff its fingers.

Yes, babies do strange things when first discovering the world. But do we all have to stand around and pretend it’s all cute? Someone pick up the damn baby already, clean it up, and explain to the toddler that we just don’t do that kind of thing.

Seems little Tucker was just too tuckered out for that lesson, or maybe his parents criminally lazy, and now here we all are, stuck in the room with him.

She’d sail right through if she’d just drop the restraint in the face of stupidity and demonstrate her twerking technique.

Hell, it makes as much sense as anything. I’m for it. Why not when we’ve got a very bad Irish trad justice already? But then again, he only knows the songs about drinking, and he can’t carry a tune without crying.

To make the money he does TC must reflect his audience’s ignorance, biases, and fundamental stupidities. He’s doing a fine job, as per the Murdochs. He’s clearly a naturally stupid racist suffering from Dunning-Kruger Syndrome.

Sorry ;). Just the first thing that came to mind. Think it’s his expression (and his maturity) –

Next comment by Tuckyorose on Jackson will be that the Senate should demand she dance for them to show if she’s “got rhythm” like a “real black person”.
