White Women Can’t Seem To Make Up Their Minds On Brett Kavanaugh

See the original post:

L et’s recap the Brett Kavanaugh Supreme Court nomination, shall we? Donald Trump ‘s pick to be on the nation’s highest court has been accused of being a hot-headed heavy drinker who can quickly morph into an angry drunk; a sexual predator to the tune of plotting to drug and sexually assault women with his friends; getting into at least one bar fight; and tampering with witnesses who could unravel his increasingly flimsy nomination. Yet, even in the face of mounting evidence of Kavanaugh’s guilt in each of the above categories, and others, white women are statistically split down the middle when it comes to whether they believe the judge’s persistent denials of carousing and sexual debauchery from his days in high school and college. At least that was according to a brand new Quinnipiac poll that found the number of Americans who wanted Kavanaugh confirmed was shrinking while white women as a group were seemingly indifferent despite the salacious claims by college professor  Christine Blasey Ford . 80% of black voters believe Dr. Ford over Kavanaugh, as do 66% of hispanic voters. Only 40% of white voters do. When split by gender, 46% of white women believe Dr. Ford and 43% believe Kavanaugh, a statistically insignificant difference Only 37% of white men believe Dr. Ford. pic.twitter.com/EAfWlqm9Xj — Mangy Jay (@magi_jay) October 1, 2018 In case you’re keeping score, that’s 43 percent of white women who were siding with Kavanaugh versus 46 percent who said they believed Ford. It was also reported that another key white woman apparently didn’t believe Ford: Rachel Mitchell, the sex crimes prosecutor from Arizona who Republicans hired to ask Ford questions during her testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee last week. . @PBS : Rachel Mitchell writes in a new memo sent to Senate Republicans that she does not believe a “reasonable prosecutor would bring this case based on the evidence before the Committee.” #SCOTUS #ConfirmKavanaugh https://t.co/lQFhuilFBd — Senate Judiciary (@senjudiciary) October 2, 2018 If Kavanaugh does get confirmed, this wouldn’t be the first time white women found themselves on the wrong side of history with an accused sexual predator in question. Fifty-three percent of white women voters cast ballots for Trump in 2016 even though he had admitted to using his celebrity to force himself on women, among other transgressions. In a CNN analysis published Tuesday morning, Ronald Brownstein wrote that “Ford’s detailed allegations of sexual assault against Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh could allow Democrats to solidify an unprecedented advantage among those women, who represent one of the few steadily growing components of the white electorate.” But if Monday’s poll was any indication, that wasn’t entirely correct.

T ime’s Up will presumably be stepping up its efforts against sexual harassment with the addition of a new leader. The organization has enlisted WNBA President Lisa Borders , a Black woman, to become its inaugural President and Chief Executive Officer. RELATED: Time’s Up Just Made A Major Move On Their Grind To Fight Sexual Harassment Borders will be leaving her prominent WNBA role for the new position after three successful seasons, the league announced Tuesday. She said she planned on still supporting the league at Time’s Up. She was also starting the role at a significant time with several women who have shared their assault accusations about convicted actor Bill Cosby and Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh . What exactly could be Borders first orders of business at the anti-sexual harassment organization? Just announced: WNBA President Lisa Borders is stepping down from her position to become the first-ever President and Chief Executive Officer of Time’s Up. NBA Deputy Commissioner Mark Tatum will oversee the WNBA on an interim basis. https://t.co/XfayEm6xKZ — WNBA (@WNBA) October 2, 2018 We are thrilled to welcome Lisa Borders as our first-ever President and CEO! https://t.co/xc3HrMv4ee — TIME'S UP (@TIMESUPNOW) October 2, 2018 First, Borders could be vocal about the organization’s push in calling for senators to stop Kavanaugh’s confirmation. There has been much talk about the FBI launching a sexual assault investigation into Kavanaugh as Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and other women have come forward with allegations. Time’s Up is, of course, in a pivotal position to press this issue, especially with the help of Borders. Call your senators to demand that there be no vote on Kavanaugh’s confirmation until the FBI finishes a thorough and complete investigation with no artificial time line. Senate Switchboard : (202) 224-3121 #BelieveSurvivors — TIME'S UP (@TIMESUPNOW) September 28, 2018 Also, Borders, whose “Take a Seat, Take a Stand” program allowed for WNBA ticket proceeds to be donated to nonprofits for empowering women and girls, could start with advocacy for ending the gender pay gap. On Monday, Time’s Up announced its involvement in supporting an open letter by Reel Equity urging the entertainment industry to close the pay disparity for women. We've signed @ReelEquity 's open letter calling on the entertainment industry to address the gender pay gap for women working behind the scenes in Hollywood. https://t.co/FLNdTvOTfq #ReelEquity — TIME'S UP (@TIMESUPNOW) October 1, 2018 It was also worth noting that Borders is the latest Black woman to step up to lead a prominent organization or well-known business. Several beleaguered companies have turned to African-American women, including Papa John’s ‘ appeal last month to  Bozoma Saint John.

Scientists Conduct Consent-Free Experiments Disproportionately on Blacks, Study Says

Read this article:

G iven the African-American experience with the infamous Tuskegee experiment , it’s worrisome that the risks associated with consent-free experiments are not fairly spread out by race. See Also: Blacks Underrepresented In ‘Life And Death’ Clinical Research, Study Finds A study released on Monday found that African Americans are enrolled in clinical trials that don’t require patient consent at a disproportionately high rate, Stat News reported. This involves administering experimental emergency medical procedures and drugs on patients who often can’t give consent because they’re unable to respond to questions. The Food and Drug Administration permits researchers to conduct these treatments under certain guidelines. The study , published in Health Affairs, found that 29 percent of the patients involved in these experiments are Black, although African Americans represent about 13 percent of the population. African Americans are overrepresented in many clinical trials that don't require informed consent. My @statnews story on today's research: https://t.co/4FdSnjs4kd — Ike Swetlitz (@ikeswetlitz) October 1, 2018 This stands in contrast to multiple studies that found African-Americans are underrepresented in consensual medical research. One study published in June , found that doctors have long used  inaccurate guidelines to determine cardiovascular risks, which was particularly the case with at-risk African-Americans patients. A significant part of the problem with the guidelines was that Blacks were underrepresented in the patient sample used to create the guidelines. News about consent-free experiments comes against the backdrop of government experiments, from 1932 to 1972, on African-American sharecroppers in Tuskegee, Alabama. Researchers deceived Black men about receiving treatment for syphilis, which actually went untreated. The experiments have contributed to widespread distrust in the African-American community of medical experiments—especially without consent. The new study also revealed that many researchers who conduct consent-free experiments use a loophole to avoid publishing certain demographic data about the people they test. Government reporting regulations don’t specify which data they must reveal. This only adds to the lack of transparency and distrust.
