It's all about interpretation of below verse. These are Jesus' words and they are very simple and easy
for me, as
Jesus says here:
1) I came into this world
because people judge
2) So that those who are "
blind" (blind towards right/wrong
= those who do NOT judge)
they will "see" (see God)
3) and those who "
see" (see right/wrong
= those who judge) those will
become "blind" (blind for God, do
NOT see God)
What does John 9:39 mean?

Judgement, such as self righteousness, often stems from stereo typing and/or assuming one size fits all. It does not see the individual, in the context of them being a unique person in a unique situation. Rather it sees all the herd, like clones. and expects all the clones to conform, to the one size fits all. Law often comes up with standards that do not apply to all yet are applied that way.
At an unconscious level, judging each person as a clone of each other, versus as individuals, causes a repression of common sense. This may lead to the need to be overcompensated; become even more strict. Many still think this is good, since it is lawful and enforced by the law. However, if you could see the truth that each person is unique, than lawful can create confusion. Being more tolerant, even of unlawful, before judging, will make more sense. Some people can do certain thing without any net harm.
If you look at the corona virus, deadly as it is, it only affects about 1% of the population, yet we are all; 100%, judged in a one size fits all fashion. In a rational world, one should be able to see that most will suffer no ill affects and therefore we need a better tailored set of rules.
Those who like to lord over others in emotional judgement, will prefer the one size fits. This is easier and less personal. If the truth was to sink into their brains, that this old behavior is half baked thinking, the self righteous will become blind. Those who did not judge, will continue to pause before judging the situation, unattached to emotional thinking and bias. They will see the truth in each case, but in a case by case way. This behavior comes last ,since it take more brain power. Law was made for the herd animal.
All racism and sexism and all other isms are based on the one size fits all approach to judgement, followed by herd animal acceptance of this approach. The racist does not take the time to know the person and situation, but rather lumps them into a one size fits all stereotype. Reparations is a racist solution, since it does not speak to each individual to see their role in the accusation. Rather it uses a one size fits all approach based only on skin color, to justify a shakedown. The self righteous will call this good and may even make a law to enforce the racism, calling it good.
