What strikes me is that you don't even seem to care that there's an ethical and moral dilemma of having a court justice being offered multi million gifts from billionaires. You only argue that people attack him based on his skin color.
So you think people (of color or not) that hold high power in the US judicial system should be able to enjoy the benefits of having rich friends and it should not be a concern to anyone? They should be held accountable for it?
Ill put it like this: do you see any of the white judges facing the same extent of backlash? I am not saying that personal relationships between him and his benefactors is a not problem, it's just that the one black judge is being dog piled, which seems to be racially motivated
So you wanna give him a pass simply because he's black? You're the racially motivated one here.
Dont twist my words buddy. I said he was being targeted more than any other SC judge
Honest questions:
Are there allegations as strong against them (the white judges)?
Who would benefit from the hate/racial crime against the black judge? (Certainly not the rich friends who are probably white)
I would argue that he has a bit more visibility/scrutiny due to his wife's connection to Jan 6th and MAGA. Not so say the other judges shouldn't have as much scrutiny, they should, but that is at least my take on why.
