Do you think Sonia Sotomayor is a racist?

[GettnHuge 2]

40 repub senators agree

[peenie 1,915]

i think she's qualified to sit as supreme court justice though.

i don't think she's racist.

that's a stretch.

i can just see why her ruling should have been overturned.

i also understand what she meant about the wise latina thing.

she gives a different perspective on a court.

she comes from a disadvantaged background and yet, she's very smart and is a latina woman.

she was being inspiring. she didn't choose her words wisely.

eh, doesn't make her a racist, especially since she's white.

(look up the difference between race and ethnicity if you're unsure)

MDC, i thought of it this way, what if all the blacks had scored well and not one white firefighter scored well and they threw out the test? that would be skraight discrimination.

 

(skraight means straight with a country ghetto accent)

 

Peenie,

 

The court wasn't ruling on whether it was right; they were ruling on whether the employer had the right to discount this test. And Sotomayor's vote was only upholding that lower court's ruling. It failed 5-4 in the Supreme Court, so 4 SCOTUS justices agreed with her ruling. I'm not saying it was the right decision, I just don't see why it's necessarily about race, when her rulings on other discrimination cases is if anything somewhat conservative. Much ado about nothing.

 

Edit: Some info on Sotomayor's history in deciding discrimination cases:

 

Other than Ricci, Judge Sotomayor has decided 96 race-related cases while on the court of appeals.

 

Of the 96 cases, Judge Sotomayor and the panel rejected the claim of discrimination roughly 78 times and agreed with the claim of discrimination 10 times; the remaining 8 involved other kinds of claims or dispositions. Of the 10 cases favoring claims of discrimination, 9 were unanimous. (Many, by the way, were procedural victories rather than judgments that discrimination had occurred.) Of those 9, in 7, the unanimous panel included at least one Republican-appointed judge. In the one divided panel opinion, the dissent’s point dealt only with the technical question of whether the criminal defendant in that case had forfeited his challenge to the jury selection in his case. So Judge Sotomayor rejected discrimination-related claims by a margin of roughly 8 to 1.

......because of her race.

 

Your are the biggest fukking moron welcher this bored has ever seen.

 

You are the guy who said he had me on ignore ... and then a week later started responding to me again, Welchy McWelchalot.

That's funny, saying she is wise but saying her words were unwise.

[MDC 7,470]

You claimed to have me on ignore. Within a week you started talking to me again. Ergo, you are a welcher.

 

In addition to being a giant crying vagina.

I'll ask once again, since you seem to be extra thick today: Link to me claiming to have you on ignore in the past week?

[Strike 5,565]

she was being inspiring.

 

ROFLMAO. You just take whatever bullsh!t minorities use to excuse their idiotic statements, that you'd never take from a white person. Truly pathetic.

[MDC 7,470]

As long as you don't deny being a welcher the details aren't important to me, Whiner Pilot.

[surferskin 30]

she didn't choose her words wisely.

You think she would have realized this after the first time she said it but no...she went on to give 6 more speeches, saying exactly the same thing.

[Recliner Pilot 61]

As long as you don't deny being a welcher the details aren't important to me, Whiner Pilot.

 

So I'm suppose to deny some BS cliam you made and can't back up?

 

See ya.

She absolutely chose her words wisely. If you can't see that well...

[crackattack 520]

This is easy:

 

1. The firefighter ruling. Two many whites passed and no afro-americans, and what, one latino. This "ladys" ruling was

reverse racism if I've ever seen it.

 

2. The latino life experiance comment is the other.

 

 

 

I'll take racist for a grand wiff.

I think no matter who you are, your background and experiences will shape you and your judicial opinions. That goes for old white guys as well as wise latinas.

 

If it didn't then all court decisions would be unanimous 9-0.

 

I have no problem with what she said. I don't necessarily think she is backtracking because what she said originally does not mean what the republicans are spinning it as. She is not going to rule against whitey at every opportunity.

 

On the one hand you have a long and extensive history of her rulings as a judge, which show plenty of respect for legal precedent and statutes. On the other hand you have one single statement she made in a speech in 2001. The attacks are purely political spin and race-baiting and playing on people's basest fears and have nothing to do with her qualifications.

what she said!

Except for the fact that the "wise latina" used the comment on NUMEROUS occasions, not just one as your uninformed curly b!tch suggests.

peenie, this is just pathetic. First of all, you're quoting some other airhead from a chick bored. Second, she's wrong about several things. No one is spinning what she said. She said in her words that "wise Latina's" make better decisions that white males and it's not just from one speech...she said this on 7 different occasions. And lastly, we do have rulings we can judge her by: See the fighterfighter case.

 

[DankNuggs 305]

The inherent paradox of her statement is that she then is less qualified to reach a better conclusion on matters that involve white males.

It isn't a paradox...its simply bias...

 

and of course she is racist, as well as sexist...

[The Moz 69]

that beaner , wetback , spic is definitley a racist! How dare she..

[BMoney 0]

There is no question she is a racist.

 

The real question is her position relative to interpretation of law. The fact that she is a racist is only peripherally relevant. Were she a white male it would be the only pertinent thing, but once you accept that the field is uneven, you can get by it.

 

 

if she were a white male, she'd be gene simmons....

[BiPolarBear 485]

We Value Diversity.

 

Ever see that little slogan when you're filling out a job app? ...A welcoming message for everybody but a white guy.

 

Whole sit-coms are based on what brain dead oafs the white guys are while the women and minorities are hip, smart, and funny.

 

Watch a TV commercial and see who gets the hose.

 

She is not a racist, she is just up with the times.

 

I voted NO.

To be fair, what women think isn't important, much less a bored full of mouthy broads. Men own everything, men rule everything, and men are the only people that should be thinking. Dames who have an opinion simply weaken the nation. If they want to discuss hair products, then fine, men don't care. But don't bother with politics. In fact, I'm trying to start a grass roots movement to take away the right of women to vote. They are in over their heads. Giving women the right to vote is like giving a monkey a pilot's license. We won't make that mistake again.

 

I hope this helpful critique makes it's way back to that well intentioned but delusional slit. Thanks in advance.

you're so entertaining.

(what's a slit?)

 

eta,

slit

1- the vagina

2- a woman (derrogatory)

2. slit

degrading word to refer to women. Instead of a "kunt" she is a "slit".

Gotta move with the times, and I'm a game changer. Cunt is such an overused term everywhere but America. Hell, in England and Australia, the word is used more often than dam and is very asexual in defamation. Guys get called it as often as women.

 

Slit is the new cunt. By Grabthar's hammer, by the sons of Worvan, this will catch on.
