Here we go again, another racial remark aimed at white America and shrugged off as a statement made by a race that has been downtrodden and white America is the blame.
Sotomayor said:
“I would hope that a wise Latina woman
with the richness of her experiences
would more often than not reach a better conclusion
than a white male who hasn’t lived that life,”
So according to Sotomayor, no white male has ever had to pull himself up by his bootstraps to reach a position of prominence. It was, of course, handed to each and every one of them on a silver platter.
If a white male said:
“I would hope that a wise White man
with the richness of his experiences
would more often than not reach a better conclusion
than a Latino woman who hasn’t lived that life,”
Both are racially charged statements and would, under normal circumstances, provide great insight into the mindset of an individual. However, Sotomayor, she is Hispanic and has been given a pass to say what she really feels. Which, in it self is admirable, but disqualifies her for a seat on the highest court in the land. Not because of what she said, but because of how she feels inside and is apparently unable to control those feelings.
I think the time has come for us to begin to demand more from our representatives as well as our judiciary. Sotomayor believes that judges “MAKE LAW”, so obviously this well educated Hispanic has failed to grasp the understanding of how our system of justice works. She has failed to understand that judges “INTERPRET THE LAW” and should be able to move beyond personal feelings when it comes to their decisions.
Sotomayor obviously feel that white men have no Constitutional Rights and equal protection under the law when it comes to being racially discriminated against. Her decision against the New Haven Conn. white firefighters proves this point beyond question.
So I ask…
What white man broke Sotomayors heart?
Remember, discrimination is discrimination, no matter how you dress it up. If a judge fails to uphold the law for any who has felt the sting of this damaging practice, she would allow that door of hatred to swing wide and…
…if I was a white American, I would be getting sick and tired of being discriminated against and everyone, even other white Americans, thinking discrimination against whites was OK.
