This might be the first time TacoDon has nominated someone that is actually qualified for a job.

Well if anyone can do it, it would be a black woman. It appears that more melanin makes you smarter.

Dannys I appreciate your compliment, but that kind of compliment is often a trap for professional Black women who are often called in AFTER someone else has created a problem that they can’t fix or won’t fix. We’re the the clean up crew; and it would be nice from time-to-time that other people pulled their own weight and allowed Black women to be full humans with lives that involve doing something else besides working in everyone’s behalf except our own.

I hear you. My statement still stands and always will. Sadly some humans don’t realize that their intelligence is not in their complexion.

Dr. Erica Schwartz is well qualified. She also very clearly stated that she believes abortion surveillance is critical to the CDC’s mission. This is a bad development for women.

A super qualified candidate, Dr. Schwartz has had an impressive career. This is who the U.S. needs leading with the science. We will be fortunate if everyone leaves her alone to do the job.
