Hat tip Frontpage Magazine
President-elect Joe Biden has nominated Kristin Clarke to be Asst. Attorney General for Civil Rights in the in-coming Justice Department. By any measure, this is a terrible choice.
Joseph Klein has written a piece in Frontpage Magazine that clearly documents why Clarke is a bad choice.

Clarke, as noted in the Frontpage piece, has expressed regret at having invited Jew-hater Tony Martin to speak at Harvard when she was a student there and head of the Black Student Union. We can all be forgiven for the dumb things we did in college, and many people have changed their thinking as they get away from academia and get older. Does she still think that black people are physically and mentally superior to others because of their melanin? God only knows. But it is highly questionable whether Clarke has really evolved.
I do not begrudge Clarke for fighting for the cause of black civil rights. But aligning yourself with Jew-haters like Tony Martin and arguing for black supremacy casts real doubt on her suitability for the position of Asst. AG for Civil Rights.
Still there is the question: Should we discount her record in college due to her youth? People do evolve. But has she?
More recently, Clarke has expressed support for the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement against Israel (BDS). In addition, she has supported the teaching of Critical Race Theory and defunding the police.
Will this be the new DOJ? I don't have a problem with someone who will be an advocate for black causes that are just-as the Civil Rights Movement was a just cause. But will she be an advocate for anyone else?
It doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out what is needed in this important position; someone who will look out for the rights of everyone-with malice toward no one. Clarke does not fit that bill.
