No I'm not surprised that the Ruth Bader Ginsburg award was given to Elon Musk and Rupert Murdoch. I said what I said about RBG.

She was an ineffective advocate for women's rights, because she was willfully blind to issues of racism. Your reproductive rights are at risk today, because of this.

You want it to be true that you can advocate for women's rights without advocating for Black people's rights. But you can't. Racist men don't care about your reproductive rights.

Ruth Bader Ginsburg was a champion of white women's rights. But she knew so little about white US history, that she said Kaepernick's protest was "dumb and disrespectful." Then she made it worse in her apology by saying she was "barely aware of the incident or its purpose" and that she should have "declined to respond." A Supreme Court Justice of the United States. Unaware of how every Black person in the US experiences the police, and the most important civil rights protest of her generation.
