If America is so racist, then how come a wealthy white man has been lavishing me with gifts ever since his company started having cases before the Supreme Court, on which I sit?

. . . refer to it as the “Supreme Court?”

How about “The Best Court Money Can Buy?”

... you just answered your own question. Lavishing a Supreme Court Justice with "gifts" is what people ordinarily call BRIBES. You should be ashamed of yourself. People of Color have enough battles to fight without you adding to their misery by siding with conservatives in their racist decisions.
May your $300K motor home's septic holding tank blow up in your face.

If it is then maybe he was an unworthy affirmative action student. He had to have bs'ed his way all the way to the Supreme Court if that question is really his and serious.
