1:01Now PlayingThis particular post came from Internet gadfly EndWokeness, who I have reported on before.
I'm not sure where he is getting his statistics from, but the ABA claims that 5% of lawyers are African American, and 38% are women (from 2022).
Unfortunately, we don't have direct statistics of black women. The best we can do is .38*.05 which gives us 1.9%.
However, the ABA does have statistics for black female federal judges, which is 4.4%.
The New York Supreme Court isn't a "Supreme court" the way we think of it as the "highest court in the state." That is New York's "Court of Appeals."
The New York "Supreme Court" is really a mid-tier appellate court and there are four of them:
The First Appellate Division of the Supreme Court covers the Bronx and NY County. The Bronx is 44% black.
NY County is 18.7% black.
It makes sense that local appeals court judges might be picked from their community.
If you plug these numbers into the binomial probability formula.
You get a probability of about .0006% which is more than being struck by lighting.
But less than getting a straight flush in poker.
But it is certainly not "literally zero."
