Louisiana Governor Seeks to Block the Appointment of the State’s First Black Supreme Court Justice
Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal is working overtime to stop the appointment of the first black Chief Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court. A federal judge ruled that Bernette Johnson is to succeed the state’s white chief justice, who is set to retire next year. Jindal has been fighting the judge’s decision since it was made, and the battle underscores the dark, ugly racial history of the state of Louisiana.
The constitution of the state of Louisiana says that the Chief Justice should be the person who has served the longest term as Associate Justice. That person would be Johnson, who joined the court in 1994. Oddly, Jindal is fighting to make Jeffrey Victory the next Chief Justice, even though he began his term in 1995.
But the argument is that Johnson wasn’t elected to the court. She was appointed as part of a settlement with the federal government over racial discrimination. The other members of the court (who are all white) don’t believe that Johnson has the seniority to be the next Chief Justice.
Justice Catherine Kimball tried to have all justices write briefs and then let an outside judge decide. But Johnson took her case to federal court. Jindal and the rest of his legal team don’t want the federal courts to be involved, and feel that the matter should be settled in the state of Louisiana.
“The issue on appeal is not who should serve as the next Chief Justice, but whether the Louisiana Supreme Court should be prohibited by a federal court from interpreting the state’s constitution,” he said in the statement.
Some have directly referenced the racial overtones of using terms like “state’s rights” as an excuse to invoke racist policy. Jindal’s actions imply the obvious for those who witnessed the civil rights struggles of the 1960s, during which time southern states also fought with the federal government about securing rights for African Americans.

Well see this is why you should always consider the paltform of those who are elected. I’ll start by saying this mans birth name is probably something niether of us can pronounce yet his skin is as dark as many blacks. Now I cant say with certainty why he is tryingh to block this Supreme Court Justice appointment but I would hope its not merely because of the color of appointee’s skin if thats the case I suggest someone pass this guy a mirror!
pass him a mirror…lol, that was a good one!
Here we go again. I hope Governor Jindal is not blocking this based on race and bigotry. I thought he was smarter than that. He is also believeing the hype. the minute he crosses his party in the least bit, he will quickly find out how “non-white” he truly is.
Believe me, he found out that he does not count with the other race. He knows that they don’t care for him. He found out when he spented all that time trying to get selected to be Romney’s choice for Vice President. He has not learned his lesson yet. But keep waking up in the morning sir, and thats what we get for voting him in, or not getting up off our a*s to vote for someone else.
Didn’t I tell y’all that those racists from India don’t give a d**n about Black people! What these smutty bastards know is that they came from Afrikans, just like crackers!!!
India was FIRST occupied by Black Afrikans in the Indus Valley! This negroid is blocking this man because HE IS BLACK! How come y’all scared to SPEAK UP! This is a no brainer and y’all can’t see through this racist negroid?
“A federal judge ruled that Bernette Johnson is to succeed the state’s white chief justice, who is set to retire next year. Jindal has been fighting the judge’s decision since it was made, and the battle underscores the dark, ugly racial history of the state of Louisiana.”
WHAT MORE PROOF DO Y’ALL NEED? d**n!
You are absolutely right Derrick. People from India are the most discriminatory people in the US> They actually think they are white and have enormously bigoted views of Black people. Jindles problem is that he doesn’t know he’s Black. I have had occasion to witness a family, that moved in next door to a Black family and proceeded to go door to door to have their white neighbors sign a petition to have them move out of the neighborhood. Problem was that they house they lived in belonged to the Black family they were complaining about. They had never met these people and rented the house thru an agency. Then they wanted to sue the agency for moving them into a house that belonged to Blacks after they moved.
Derrick the person he is trying to block is a woman, NOT a man
I’am from Louisiana and glad to be,I lived there most of my young life not much has changed,so therefore nothing shocks me about that State,as for this joker he is bought and paid for,the court is all White what does that tell you..
Derrick,
I believe that you are incorrect. Genetic testing does not support your claim that the ancestors of the inhabitants of India are from Africa, except in the sense that everyone is, if you go back far enough. Mr. Jindal’s ancestors certainly spent a lot of time in Asia and the Near East, but ultimately, they are Indo Europeans. Also, linguistically, Sanskrit comes from the same root as English, Latin, Greek or any other European language, and not from any African language. This guy is technically a Caucasian and not black, despite his color. Skin color is the result of evolutionary drift to prevent the destruction of Folic Acid in the mother’s bloodstream, and not due to ‘race’.
Take that LIE and stick it up your left nostril! ALL hue-man-ity came out of Afrika. Nubia/Ethiopia to be EXACT. India is the next populated nation with an Afrikan presence, and the Dalits and the Untouchables are the ORIGINAL BLACK people to occupy India!
As a matter of Truth the very word INDIA means BLACK! Barbaric crackers invaded India, bringing destruction and the Caste System.
They are treated just like Black people here in racist amerikkka; the lowest on the totem pole! How in the h**l can a caucasoid produce a person of color? IT CAN’T BE DONE! But, a Black man and woman can produce a caucasoid!!! Go look that Truth up for yourself.
The original ancient people of eu(rope) were Black Afrikans. They were called the Grimaldi people! The FIRST people to occupy Rome and Greece were a group of Afrikans called the Pelisgians! The ORIGINAL people to birth the world; you got it…were BLACK LIKE ME!
Let me take you school: The Latin word INDIA, is from greek, Indus or Indos, which means BLACK! The EARLIEST people of India were Black Afrikans or Ethiopians/Nubians called Negritos.
A noted Indian historian and anthropologist by the name of B.V. Bhavan stated in his book, “We have to begin with the Negroid or Negrito people of prehistoric India, who were its FIRST hue-man inhabitants.
These Negritos were also called Dravidians, who founded the great Indus Valley Civilization around 3000B.C. By the way, the Black God, Buddah is worshipped everyday by these people from India, including this clown!
Therefore, ALL of those races you mentioned, ORIGINALLY were birthed from their Black Parents in Afrika!!! ALL DNA GOES BACK TO THE MOTHERLAND!!!
If this s**t face tells a cracker, that he’s a caucasoid, they would go hang him on the nearest tree!
“Skin color is the result of evolutionary drift to prevent the destruction of Folic Acid in the mother’s bloodstream, and not due to ‘race’.” WHAT A DUMB a*s LIE!!!
Two Afrikans birthed you albino mutants. These pale thangs could not stand the heat, so they fled Afrika to eu(rope) where the climate was cold. Once they got to eu(rope) they mated; and the caucasoid race was born from there! Two pale people can ONLY PRODUCE ANOTHER PALE PERSON; not a Black person!!!
The reason you caucasoids have those thin dog-like noses is because you had to adjust to the cold weather when you were living in your caves, in the caucasus mountains. You needed to breathe through your nose, not your mouths because of the snow. This is why you caucasoids always coughing, especially around Black people! That’s an act of contempt…COUGH! COUGH!
GO LEARN SOME TRUTH, AND GET BACK WITH ME!
COUGH! COUGH! Didn’t think I knew, did you? lol
Have a good day, cat!
A lot of them don’t want to accept the fact they are originally from Africa and only became white because of the migration to Europe. But Jearley did say if you go back far enough. It’s just sad that if the law is in place, and they are playing by some of the rules, that the next person in line to get the job, (happens to be black) still has to fight and go through at this level, this type of racism. The good ‘ole boys are doing too much. I grew up in Louisiana also and I hear a lot of people complain about Governor Jindal. But as a state they kept him in office….oh well.
These negroids don’t know their True OURstory. They have been so brainwashed with the white boy’s TRAINING aka education, they have accepted the fact they they are still slaves!
These people from India TREAT Black people WORSE, than some of these caucasoids! YOU NEVER see them around ‘real’ Black people…NEVER!!!
And this crazy negroid males and fe-males, talking about THEY LOVE everybody!!! These new age slaves are SICK!
Derrick, you are absolutely correct and I applaud you for speaking truth. I learned about this while attending college. my boyfriend at the time would take me to this study group (non-campus related) and my eyes were opened. They were like the five percenters but not quite them. I think they called themselves Nubian Nation at the time. I have since lost touch but would love to get back into the teachings. I have small children and would love for them to overstand this world we live in so they wont be mentally enslaved like so many of us still are today. such a shame….could you please tell me where you get your teachings from? please inbox me at http://www.facebook.com/tammy.simpson.752
I don’t have a facebook, but give me your email, and I would be more than happy to send you some info!
The time is NOW to teach our children the Truth because once they enter this racist school system, they definitely become BRAINWASHED, like these NIGorant grown negroids on this site!
THEY ARE PITIFUL!!!
Peace
Once again, you NEVER fail us Brother Derrick…teach and keep the truth flowing!
Much Love to you Miss T!!!
You are in INSPIRATION!!!
Please read the books by J. A. Rogers.
@ Jearley, I so agree with everything you just said…………………
A Men Marta you are so right abot governor Jindal . crossing he Republicans party.I cant waite for them to turn on him and then he will know what color he i.s really is . How in the world could the peoples of Louisian could electe a racis governor to run there state . Thay need to get this guy out of the state house he is no good for that state or this country ,
Jindal needs to take his a*s back to India where he and the rest of his people belong. None of them have contributed anything to this nation yet he feels entitled. And this pretty much goes for all of these immigrants and that includes “Asians and Hispanics” who come here and some how feel they have a right to step on Black Americans. None of them have contributed anything to this nation, nothing at all. The freedoms they enjoy are a result of the struggles of Black Americans. We built this nation with are sweat and blood, not Asians, Hispanics, or Indians. Just to clarify when I speak of Indians I’m not referring to the native American.
@truthspks: “And this pretty much goes for all of these immigrants and that includes “Asians and Hispanics” who come here and some how feel they have a right to step on Black Americans.”
If you read some of these negroids comments, you can see why they are in this slave-like condition! THEY let caucasoids step on them; I DON’T!
You are correct: NONE of those races CONTRIBUTED ANYTHING to this country!!! As a matter of Truth, caucasoids are IMMIGRANTS, too. They came from eu(rope) and stole this land from the Black Afrikan Olmecs, who were ALREADY in amerikkka, trading with Afrikans in Afrika!!!
If you think about it; NONE of those races you mentioned are not NATIVE, to any land…WE ARE THE ORIGINAL BLACK NATIVES TO THE WORLD!!!
Native = PERMANENT residents of a country, continent or nation!
WE ONCE RULED THE WORLD!!!
You are such a racists, and you make so many baseless unsupported claims that it is funny. I have shown many of the blogs you comment on to actual licensed Historians on campus and they have laughed so hard at your comments and referenced you in lectures as someone they are to never seek information from, because it is all distorted. They have also stated that you are so racists that the term objectivity does not exist when it comes to you. You are a very racists uneducated black male
f**k YOU and those racist bastards professors (if you go to school)! These dumb crackers will NEVER ADMIT to the Truth, so I’ll be glad to challenge them any day of the week!
I had a professor, who was from Ireland, and SHE TOLD ME A BLACK MAN by the name of Emperor Gormund, ruled Ireland during the Anglo-Saxon period!!!
Your his-story/his-LIE is just like you…A LIE!!!
Go tell your red-head professors to check that Truth out! By the way…red hair is a sign of BLACKNESS!
TOM JONES said, ‘It’s Not Unusual’
CHECK!
I wonder how many black folks down there in Louisiana voted for Jindal because they thought he was a Negro??
Wow! Ignorant people still use the word “negro”? Are you in that ‘time warp’ with Romney?
Jearley, please read a Bible. Scientific findings attempt to disprove God’s Word at every turn, what is does not tell you is that we are all the same, created equally by God, and all bleed the same color. Because His skin color nor his ancestry indicates whether or not he is white, he is definitely darker than I, You all can have him. African Americans don’t want to claim any caste system idiots!
Governor Jindal is the modern day equivalent of Uncle Ruckus…..is that a lazy eye I see….?
A little research will settle all the ignorant talk about Indians being negroids. They are not. They are caucasoids. It takes more than skin color to define a race; things like skull shape, nostril width, tooth patterns, etc. However, that is just a diversion which should have no bearing on Jindai’s action. He is a Republican, and as such, racist by association.
A complete mess and I have yet to wonder why no one even ran against this man. Were they afraid of what could happen if they did.
He has did nothing but destroy Louisiana; state programs and no the state hospital. Putting in motion Romney’s ideas and was hoping to be his running mate but got looked completely over. Folks in Louisiana better open their eyes and fight the good fight.
HE IS SICK
The man is a Bob Boo!
Doesn’t matter who he is or which side of the gene pool he came out of, what really matters, he’s a racist, pure and simple.
like this big papa
Jindal is a political opportunist. He will back Fascist policies which enable banks too buy government and build detention centers to contain those who are to be deported as slaves. All else will be mowed down as they oppose those who have been bought to maintain control while the wealth is sucked out of this country.
People are voicing a fear of socialist policies from the current administration. They fail to notice that corporations and banks have been enjoying socialism at the expense of the general populace of this nation for decades. Just like it takes an atom bomb to trigger a nuclear bomb socialism triggers the fascism. The banker rule the world and the world is buying weapons. When nations have temper tantrums they buy weapons and they rob rape and kill their own citizens. We are not exempt from this behavior.
Now if this Black woman is being appointed to this post, we KNOW she earned it; after all we ALWAYS have to work 10 times harder for EVERYTHING!
As far as Bobby Jindal ‘s concerned, he so busy trying to block this Black woman who’s just as accomplished as he is, if not more, (or she’d never have been considered for the post) when he should be watching his own back. Republican or not, racist White folks would have his dumb azz on the first boat back to India, regardless of the fact he was born in Louisiana. (SMH)
A MESSAGE FOR GOVERNOR BOBBY JINDAL. IT DOES NOT MATTER WHAT COLOR YOU ARE WHEN YOU GO TO THE RIGHT. SOME HOW YOU TEND TO ND UP WITH THE ATTITUDE AND BEHAVIOR OF A WHITE. ASK JUDGE CLARENCE THOMPSON.
is their more to say jidal look hard in the mirror then ask ?
When you go to the polls and vote for these racist where are those that are so quick to say negative things about out President. The seem to think that because he/she is white it’s ok for them to treat those of color the way we are being treated.
