No, I do not think so. The President was in the White House with the retiring justice. Had he been about to announce something that was racist and illegal, he certainly would have pointed it out to him before they went before the cameras. Someone else on this board suggested it was unfair to the many people who have been waiting for many years for such an opportunity. Well, what about the black women who are qualified and have also been waiting - most of the justices have been white men - women, and especially black women have been waiting since the court's inception. Seems to be like he's just balancing the scales of justice for people who have been left out.
Choosing a candidate based on skin color is not racist?
