Because We Need Another White Man in U.S. Government

Okay, so this post is a little late to the party, but I couldn't resist writing it anyway. According to the 2000 census, 49.1% of Americans are male, and 50.9% are female. (The census does not currently try to identify transgender people, or intersex people, or anyone who does not fit the male-female binary.) 75.1 percent identify as white; 12.3% as black or African-American; 3.6 percent as Asian, .9 as American Indian or Alaska Native, .1 percent as Hawaiian or Pacific Islander, 5.5% as another race, and 2.4% identify as two or more races.

And yet Bush thought it was important to nominate another white man to the Supreme Court. That would make 7/9 of the Supreme Court white men. 1/9 African-American men. 1/9 women. Because white men are doing such a great job when they are appointed to leadership roles in the U.S. government.
