First proud racist to become supreme court justice in a long time
“WASHINGTON (AP) - The Senate confirmed Sonia Sotomayor Thursday as the first Hispanic justice on the Supreme Court.” I expected this of the Democrats but you can see a list of the Republicans who voted for her here.
This woman is a certified racist that thinks her ethnicity makes her a better judge than a white judge. You Hispanics and Puerto Ricans out there that are “proud” for this day need to take a hard look at why you feel more familial with a racist Latina than you do with a color-blind white person. Is ethnicity such a strong uniter that you associate more with a racist with similar skin pigment than you do with a non-racist with different skin pigment? Same goes for American blacks who are proud of this day. Its like “Anything-but-white Appreciation Day.”
There might be a sparse few who actually know the judicial record of this woman and support her for that. While I disagree with them, at least they know what they’re talking about.
Identity politics
Unfortunately the vast majority of people fall under two categories: those who support anything Barack Obama does for racial or political reasons, and those that support any non-white who is given power in any arena in the name of “diversity.” I guess the hundreds of thousands of white people who died in the civil war for racial equality died for NOTHING. Nothing. Those two groups I named are pissing on their graves.
I found her nomination disgusting. I find her confirmation depressing. There is no question she has an impressive resume in the judicial arena, and Michael Vick is a really good football player. There is more to a job that a resume, and there aren’t many jobs where that is more true than one of the 9 Supreme Court Justices of the United friggin States. Lady Justice has lost her blindfold on the Supreme Court. Racism is officially under new management.
