Does One Wise White Man Equal One Wise Latina?
The Judge Sonia Sotomayor Senate hearings have largely been a non-event. Some senators fawned, some pressed for clarification, and others cried, but the one thing we cannot doubt is that the Democrats have the votes to confirm her as a Supreme Court justice in August.
Throughout the questioning, Sotomayor equivocated, hedged, and obfuscated over a blatantly racist and sexist remark she once made: “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.”
Unfortunately, it was no one-timer. She reiterated these same views on several occasions over the years and, since the public became aware of her stance on the superiority of her ethnicity, support for her has plummeted. However, none of this matters in the context of the Alamo that is politically correct America.
In 2009, our society is so contaminated and corrupted by PC that when a person correctly identifies a member of a minority group as being a racist, they quickly experience a boomerang effect — wherein the same charge comes careening back at them. This is illogical and sinister but remains an apt description of the present state of affairs.
Some commentators went beyond defending Sotomayor’s character, as did one pundit on CNN. Washington Post contributing editor Cathy Areu took a more brazen approach than simple evasion. During a segment that should go down in the annals of media bias, a discussion commenced with three leftists appearing onscreen and not a single conservative to be found in the studio.
It concerned the presumed unfairness of Judge Sotomayor not being herself during the hearing. Ms. Areu not only informed viewers that Judge Sotomayor’s answers were largely confabulations but also that there was nothing wrong with the incendiary proclamations she originally made.
The young journalist left no doubt that being a sick racist is not only socially acceptable but even in vogue: “No,” she said in response to the host’s inquiry as to whether Sotomayor really meant to back down from past statements. “As a wise Latina, I can tell you, no, she’s not backing down. And she probably would want to say, not only do I mean a wise Latina, I meant any Latina could make a better decision than a white man could.”
Few quips from mainstream media flunkies raised my blood pressure more than that one. Yet her dubious insight raises some obvious questions. First, what is the basis for the belief that any female Hispanic is smarter than any white male? Is there evidence for it? Second, do white males fair poorly when juxtaposed with scores from mentally retarded Latinas? Third, are Caucasians, on aggregate, the stupidest people on earth? Fourth, if not, would she place blacks and Asians in the category of untermenschen as well?
You know, the term “feminazi” has long been derided by the Left, but it is the perfect word to describe the woman who places her own ethnicity above all others. Of course, conservatives have long known that fascism is a movement of the political Left, so it is helpful that Ms. Areu came along to elucidate this truth for everyone.
More and more people are getting fed up with the blatant bigotry aimed at whites, males, conservatives, Christians, and all the other supposed ” privileged oppressors”. Especially now that we live in the 21st century. Now most people roll their eyes at feminists, racialists and leftists in general who are trying to violenty kick down doors that are already open. But it’s still a massive problem. We definitely need to get more organized and active in our defense now that we’re the new “victim group”. It’s time to grow a pair again and prove that we can still do what’s necessary to save humanity from itself just like we did multiple times throughout history.
We should start with putting an authorative end to the illegal alien and third world invasion of the Western world.
The father of a developing child should have equal say in whether or not his child can be aborted with the balance of power given to the survival of the child.
Men should have equal rights in courts of law.
We should lead the charge to end all identity based discriminatory programs, legislation and laws aka “affirmative action” while vigorously defending the right for -individuals- to file lawsuits if they feel they were discriminated against.
We should also lead the charge to bring civility, responsibility and dutiful citizenship to our societies and communities.
We should do our best to create a truely gender blind and color blind society as much as humanly possible.
And we should all step up to serve in our nations militaries for atleast two years.
Do all that and more and we’ll put our country back on its previous track which lead to the founding and building of the greatest nation and civilization ever in human history. But this time leave out the ugly bigotry.
You are correct. The Sotomayor hearings were a study of the absolute collapse of rational standards in the face of the greatest, open identity-play that the modern left has attempted. They are beyond trying to be stealthy, even in the modern left’s usual clumsy and transparent fashion, and have just decided to bore ahead in full view without any shame, whatsoever. The resistance to this repulsive spectacle was far too reserved and constrained. The mask was taken off by the left, itself, and the right went on pretending that they couldn’t really see the insidiousness that was being thrust on our system. This was a watershed.
As to Sotomayor, I always wondered why no one ever bothered pointing out that her “wise Latina” statement was just downright stupid. I’m not talking about the meaning she was trying to convey. That was laughable, in itself, but the way she said it, over and over again, showed that her grasp of English still hovers around the 10th grade level. She siad:
“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.”
Judge Sotomayor doesn’t seem to understand what the word “wise” means. She is talking about the propensity to “reach a better conclusion”, but that is one of the most accurate indications of wisdom, itself. A wiser person would generally reach better conclusions, and vice versa. When Sotomayor talks about a wise latina, a white male, and reaching better conclusions, all she is saying is that latinas are wiser than white men – as the WaPo editor correctly surmised of the actual intent behind the statement. But why didn’t Sotomayor realize this, and instead kept assigning wise to the latina without any comparison to the white man? Because she’s an idiot whose English is laughable, at best. That she would repeat this, essentially, non-sensicle statement over and over just shows how deep her stupidity truly runs. But no one attacked her for this most public display of sub-par thought, even as her writing was being taken apart in a few articles.
Sotomayor still benefitted from affirmative action in that she wasn’t held to any decent standards, by anyone, really. ANd so this nation heads down the chasm.
Shouldn’t we judge the wisdom of Latinas by the quality of the societies their offspring have built?
Perhaps Sotomayor’s “wise Latina” comment is completely irrelevant anyway, though, because I have yet to see a wise Latina anywhere in this farce.
She speaks English likes it’s her second language, so I’m not even sure she’s intelligent, much less wise.
It was pathetic to watch and hear these respectable Republican senators beat on a dead horse like a million times on C-SPAN. They think that if you repeat the same thing a million times you will believe it. All it does is to make them look ridiculous and stupid.
It’s obvious that racism is alive and well in this country:
Whites don’t like blacks, Latinos, Asians, Arabs
Blacks don’t like whites, Latinos, Asians, Arabs
Latinos don’t like whites, blacks, Asians
Asians don’t like whites, blacks, Latinos, Arabs
Arabs don’t like anyone either
Everyone thinks they are superior to the others, no exception. Civilized people just don’t say it. Maybe the younger generation is being more liberal about racism. It’s our hope.
Equal rights for hetero white males! (Racist liberal crap is getting old.)
The American public has been so incredibly lazy in regards it thinking that it’s embarrassing. Sonia Sotomayor polled negatively after her nomination and through her first two days of senate testimony because of her character as demonstrated over the course of her years as a judge. On the third day of her senate testimony, she repudiated herself and testified by rote that she would be a good judge. The polling after this shamelessly lying testimony? The public switched sides (barely) and suports her nomination. Hoodwinked? I think not. Lazy? Definitely.
I had hoped a smart Senator would have gotten hold of the Transcript of Bork’s confirmation hearing and asked Sotomayor the same questions word for word that Bork was asked and then compared her answers, word for word with Bork’s, and then ask her whose answers she thought were wiser. It would have been a howler on both sides of the aisle.
PC thinking has entered the thought-process of even conservatives. An example of this is the writings on this site about what Republicans need to do to attract minority voters. There has to this moment not been one syllable suggesting that minorities might be wrong,mistaken,or misguided. It is all about how Republicans have to change,and as a result has been pretty silly.
With half a long lifetime living by preference in Latin America I can interpret Sotomayor.
Language carries culture, and culture carries precepts. Truth does not exist in the same way for one culture as it does in another. Eight centuries enslaved to the Caliphate have left Hispanics with a less than Indo-Euorpean mind set. She really believes in both of her positions, no matter that they oppose each other. She just doesn’t have your sense of logic or ‘truth’.
The Puerto Rican Minister of Culutre said to Rep. Don Young during House hearings on the status of PR, “You North Americans PLAN your way to perfection. We Latinos IMPROVISE our way.” (emphasis hers)
As a successful mega-project manager, I know something about planning and improvisation. To wit: improvisation is what non-Hispanics do between the steps of a plan. Without a reviseable plan you just take random paths until, like Whinnie the Pooh in his expedition to the North Pole, you come right back to where you started from.
Has anyone noticed that Latin America in 500 years of Euro/Afro/Asian settlement has not got far from its starting point? Yet look at North America after less than 400 years.
Sotomayor will not understand your logic, nor your silly arguments, so she’ll just turn it all on its head, say she didn’t mean what you think she meant, that A isn’t A, and give her another and she’ll improvise with that too.
The adolescent left came up with PC and Multi-Culturalism in the 60s to turn their parents’ verity on its head and do as they would. Lyndon Johnson caught the themes and used them to keep minorities separate and command their votes. It worked. Sotomayor and the left have dominion. Whinnie the Pooh governs the Supreme Court and more.
America now pays for 50 years of polite silence of its assimilated masses.
PS: Having visited Spain recently after a 30 year hiatus, I can report that it still reeks with the arrogance of inferiority. Will they win in Europe as well?
She is the best he could come up with? Great. Now we have to deal with her crappy grammar and unkempt appearance for the next twenty years.
The current state of the water, sanitation, infrastructure and law in Mexico make the wise Latina/Latino remark stand out.
Drug gangs and bought police and government Officials tell us different. A place where whole neighborhoods blow up because some one dumps gasoline in the sewer comes to mind and lets not forget the Chupacabre and the “Flying witch” of Mexico city fame.
Overall Latin’s are no more or less wise than any white person.

Steve, we can always amuse ourselvs with various humorous takes on the separated-at-birth aspect of her looks.
The question which told me all I needed to know about Sotomayor was the one posed by Senator Coburn. He asked her if she believed people have a right to self defense. She couldn’t answer the question; and anyone who can’t answer that question is a dumb ass, verily; and anyone who votes to seat her on the Supreme Court is an even bigger dumb ass.
These Latinos think because they swam the Rio Grande they are right up there with Columbus crossing the Atlantic.
GOD is sovereign.
All the ways of a man are pure in his own eyes, But the Lord weighs the spirits. (Proverbs 16:2)
Man makes his own plans, but I [GOD] direct his path along My plan. Man’s goings are of Me, how then can he understand or agree with them? My ways are not your ways and My thoughts are not your thoughts.
God is allowing America to go into captivity of godless, liberal ideals, due to our rebellion, just like He allowed Israel go into captivity in their past.
Read HIS Word, everything is proceeding according to schedule, says The Lord.
I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist.
Angry White Dude wrote an article this week entitled “Why Are Whites So Afraid of Being Called Racist?”
In the PC world we live in, any white person who criticizes ANY action of a minority will immediately be accused of being racist. This is a corner in which whites have allowed ourselves to be painted. It must stop for us to openly communicate with others. Don’t look for the left to easily give up this weapon.
Here is the article:

Supreme court Justice Ginsberg: “I thought abortion would rid us of undesirable people.”
I am always amazed that the pro-abortion types don’t slip up and tell the truth more often. Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg just did. In an interview with the New York Times on Sotomayor Ginsburg opined that what she originally thought (read hoped) that Roe would result in Medicaid funded abortion.
Q: Are you talking about the distances women have to travel because in parts of the country, abortion is essentially unavailable, because there are so few doctors and clinics that do the procedure? And also, the lack of Medicaid for abortions for poor women?
JUSTICE GINSBURG: Yes, the ruling about that surprised me. [Harris v. McRae — in 1980 the court upheld the Hyde Amendment, which forbids the use of Medicaid for abortions.] Frankly I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of. So that Roe was going to be then set up for Medicaid funding for abortion. Which some people felt would risk coercing women into having abortions when they didn’t really want them. But when the court decided McRae, the case came out the other way. And then I realized that my perception of it had been altogether wrong.
That is right. A sitting Justice on the Supreme Court of the United States just lamented that Roe did not mandate funding of abortion through medicaid in order to reduce “populations that we don’t want to have too many of.”
Now can anyone point out any one particular population that is impacted by medicaid funded abortions? A population that we don’t want too many of?
A sitting Supreme Court Justice just lamented that Roe did force medicaid funding to control the number of undesirables in this country. From Margaret Sanger to Ginburg – the agenda of racist eugenics has not changed one bit. She should be impeached.
Thanks to Ed Whelan
What rulings will our SC hand down with an old wise Jewish and Latino woman seated? I predict their “wisdom” will redefine “quality of life” in a manner we won’t recognize, straight out of a horror movie.
Maybe she meant that any Latina is smarter
than any liberal white man. I’d agree with
her on that one.
My wife is non-white and she will tell you
that when you are looking for impartiality
only whites attempt to achieve it. All
non-white groups are tribal in outlook
and openly favor their own period.
It has become obvious in my experience
that members of non-white groups really
really do not like members of other
non-white groups. This is true of
Orientals, Blacks, Latinos etc.
However if they want to get something
they know that old Whitey is there to
lay the blame game on.
Only stupid arrogant liberal white men
will demand responsibility for the sins
of the world while denying others
responsibility for their actions. This
is the true face of racism. The new
White Man’s Burden.
However, none of this matters in the context of the Alamo that is politically correct America.
It seems to be the case that the intellectual midgets dominating our culture these days are physically incapable of seeing past their own narrow ways of “understanding” the human condition.
This particular “wise Latina”, Sonia Sotomayor, was leaden and mind numbingly plodding & repetitive during her several days of hearings….”respect for the law…guided by what the statute says…precedent…seek the counsel of my colleagues”…over and over and yaddida over.
Her defense of the (oft repeated) wise Latina view of the world seemed disingenuous, bordering on lame.
If that’s wisdom, baby, count me out.
three elections ago puerto rico elected a wise latina as governor. a democrat too. The puerto rican economy has yet to recover and one of the first acts of the newest governor is to lay off 30,000 of the government employees hired by the wise latina.
“I don’t have enough faith to be an atheist.”
BEST COMMENT EVER!

Vivo:
True, no people are free the human sins of bigotry and hatred.
The issue is that such behavior is excused or defended if one belongs to a politically-fashionable grievance group, but prosecuted vigorously if one does not.
You quote Ms. Areu as saying:
The young journalist left no doubt that being a sick racist is not only socially acceptable but even in vogue: “No,” she said in response to the host’s inquiry as to whether Sotomayor really meant to back down from past statements. “As a wise Latina, I can tell you, no, she’s not backing down. And she probably would want to say, not only do I mean a wise Latina, I meant any Latina could make a better decision than a white man could.”
Ms. Areu’s statement shows that what is taken for common sense in college class rooms has migrated to the newsroom. In turn, that shows that the old barriers of good business sense, professionalism, and personal maturity no longer exist in the field of journalism. So, Ms. Sotomayor can adopt a strategy of lying to win comfirmation. No one in the MSM will question her lies. To this day, on one in the media has questioned Obama’s lies. The only obstacle remaining to the Sotomayors and Obamas is a Republican Party that has the will to call a lie a lie and to do the research that will demonstrate the fact of the lie. Sotomayor presented an easy case for Republican rebuttal. Her published writings include statements that she claimed to be false during the hearings. If the Republicans are too weak to call Sotomayor on her lies then we will be ruled by lies for the rest of Sotomayor’s career.
I am always amazed at how white male progressives will prostitute themselves and deny their very manhood, race and ethnicity in order to be part of the leftist agenda.
So I guess all the contributions by white men that have made this nation the greatest ever and the world such could have been done better by wise latinas? But how come PR and Mexica and all of Latin America is still live in third world status?? Something does not jive here??
I agree with Pelaut regarding PC and multiculturalism, but I would go further: PC was made in order to silence the defense of white America and Americans, legitimize illegal immigration, destroy American traditions, and finally, to make the nation ready for the take over by the left.
I think it would have been amusing if conservative Senators would have asked the progressives if they believed that the justice was smarter and makes better decisions than them. Also Mr. Seder should be asked that question: as a white Jew, it would have been interesting to hear his answer.
If we (as a society) continue to narrowly define “law” according to the preferences and dictates of each little select “identity” group, we’re finished as a representative Republic.
There is no end to habits and practices of ruling/making law etc. on the basis of perceived prejudices, preferences & desires allegedly aggrevied groups et al. and etc., no end point to that particular slippery slope.
We have to stand on constitutional principles, equality of (blind) Justice under the law, (regardless of a judge’s perceptions of any given individual’s race, circumstances, beliefs etc.) or we truly and finally will morph into complete Banana Republic status.
In other words, there is a lot at stake in our current cultural morass.
(while today, the Attorney General of the United States, Eric Holder, is placating Muslims generically, even some in whose US mosques the goal of the destruction of this country is propagated daily)
The Civil Rights movement of the 1950s and 60s for equality under the law for all citizens – the 14th amendment to the Constitution – has been perverted into its contradictory, judge individuals by their race, national origin, sex.
Cathy Areu and Sotomayor have shown by their own words that what they say is false – only fools could say that wisdom depends on race. Socrates looked for individuals wiser than himself; he questioned those like Areu and Sotomayor who thought they were wise, and discovered that they were ignorant but did not know this – he was wiser than them because he was ignorant and knew that he was.
# 10 pelaut:
Interesting comments.
“[T]he arrogance of inferiority” is spot-on. I don’t know how the Spaniards are, but your phrase applies to political Muslims to a T.
The idiocy of her “wise latina” statement is revealed by observing the angry reaction it creates. A wise person of any race or gender would never say something this divisive as a means to inspire people, even if it were true.
Hence to me she is not wise. Unless she is trying to be divisive, by stirring up resentments. In which case she is a freaking genius.
She is nothing more than a affirmative action product. Obviously took the place of a more qualified white male for government handouts.
She will be just what Obama wanted. A “La Raza Queen” on the court to show how diverse America is with him as President.
WAKE UP AMERICA…ESPECIALLY WHITE MALES.
Most of the racists in this country fit into two categories; shake down artists and “victocrats” the latter is a Larry Elder term, both are opportunists, using race as a political tool to get what they want in the most despicable way; lying, cheating stealing. Can you name a few?
Now we have a lefty white guy (Pat Leahy of VT) paving the way for a bigoted racist latina to sit on the Supreme Court.
Not that racists don’t exist, but today racism is used as a tool and tools use racism like clockwork totally predictable almost always focused on whitey.
“WAKE UP AMERICA…ESPECIALLY WHITE MALES.”
One does not need to embrace the vile doctrines of a David Duke to face this harsh reality. Our postmodernist culture has indeed declared war on white males. And it did start yesterday morning! The atacks began well over five decades ago. W. E. B. DuBois was talking about the allegedly inferiority of white man’s culture well over seventy years ago. The radicals of the 1960s, which included many white leftists, took particular pleasure in declaring whites to be a cancer on the Earth. The situation has only gotten worse since then.
I wonder when Ruben is going to weigh in on how racist it is for us crackers to point out the racism of a woman who is a member of a group called “The Race”
Funny stuff here. Subjectively and experientially I have always had a soft spot for Hispanics (Latinos? Latin Americans? Spanish-African- Native Americans? Hard to determine what’s currently PC). The men are cheerful and enterprising; the women are cheerful and sexy. What’s not to like?
African American activists talk about “people of color” and freely refer to their Latino brothers and sisters (no less than their gay brothers and sisters) as if they represent a united front. Subjectively and on the ground, nothing could be further from the truth.
Whether you are in Harlem or on the island of Hispaniola, the difference between Blacks and Latinos is glaring and unmistakable. And it has little or nothing to do with skin color.
First and foremost, there’s the matter of social cohesion and mutual support. Hispanics seem to look out for each other and Blacks seem not to. An Hispanic family may be confusing and impossibly tangled to a Blanco but it is very definitely a supportive family unit. Black people call each other “brother” and “sister” but brotherhood and sisterhood is not what they practice.
Black Harlem’s business streets and avenues are divided between government offices, churches, national fast food chains and a scattering of genuinely independent businesses, none of them thriving. The atmosphere is enervated, bedraggled and needy.
The main streets of Spanish Harlem and up through Washington Heights, Inwood and the Bronx are healthy, energetic hives of commercial activity. Puerto Ricans, Dominicans, Mexicans, Guatemalans, Cubans–they’re all hustling for the almighty American dollar. They’re not only supporting themselves but in the American immigrant tradition they’re sending money home to families in Latin America. Small wonder they mainstream into American society–skin tone notwithstanding–in a generation or two.
Latinos like Judge Sotomayor who make common cause with leftist Black activists are favored by establishment leftist whites. But they don’t represent the broad majority of Hispanics who are generally religious, conservative, and enthusiastically capitalist and upward-mobile.
well i think sotomayor is an idiot therefore you being equal i must therefore hold you in the same regard. why do hispanics rush to join our shores? obviously you do not know American history very well. what is the oldest city in America? doesn’t it have a hispanic name somewhere in Florida. white guys as victims, on one hand you disparage the minority victimhood and on the other, you want to join in. quit apologizing for your deeds. your father wasn’t perfect and neither are you, so what makes us different?
Was the white male comparison targeted towards a specific white male or towards white males in general? If targeted toward white males in general, how does that statement differ from racial profiling?
I sometimes hear women say they think women are better than men. It isn’t latina vs white. It is just sexist. This seems like an inevitable consequence of political correctness and affirmative action.
“One does not need to embrace the vile doctrines of a David Duke to face this harsh reality.”
It’s more than a bit tiresome that any attempt to rouse white people into action is considered tantamount to Duke-ism or even Nazi-ism.
I’m no white supremacist, and I’m part of a mixed-race marriage. So I have no ‘splainin to do. But I will say this: white people built this country. Without the ideas of a bunch of crusty white men, this country wouldn’t exist; without our blood spilled it would never be independent; without more of our blood spilled we’d be split in two and slavery would have lasted longer.
I do not think we are superior as a race. But I know we are superior to our own self-image, and the nonsensical ‘white oppressor’ image we allow other races to project on us.
And as for vivo and ‘everybody is racist’ – perhaps. But only if you hang around with liberals. Most people don’t hate those of other race. They hate those of other race who make their race an identity issue. And there is a difference between defense and offense.
Well, it’s soon going to be official I would think: White heterosexual males are a minority.
And I, for one, want to see them getting all the privileges and air time that the people of color racists have been demanding…and getting…and getting by with.
What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.
How about we start with a white man, lawyer, someone looking for a judgeship somewhere, standing up and telling the cameras that he believes that he, as a white male, would make a better judge than any latina woman, anywhere? Would that be a good place to start??
Of course, it WILL mean that he will be (a) charged with hate speech, (b) pilloried and vilified 24/7 for 18 weeks and (c) be forced to change his name and live under some kind of protection for the rest of his natural life.
Funny how it wouldn’t work out the same for him. Of course, that’s just because he’s the wrong color.
Oh, wait a minute….I thought our goal was racial equality? Oh. That was last century’s goal? This century’s goal is “get Whitey”?
Ok. Gotcha.
Justice Sotomayor. Get used to saying it. You’ll have a little while to have gotten over learning to say “Senator Franken.”

Hear, hear.
I’m not saying that David Thompson intended anything wrong with the way he started off his comment, but it is just a reflex in society these days that anyone who addresses whites, as a group, is a dreaded racist. Whites have to move past this, though it will be tough, as it has been pounded into society for a while, now.
On the other hand, if Sotomayor gets into the SCOTUS then it might just be a lost fight, anyway, as society has just gone beyond the point of no return. That happens. That’s why all nations die, eventually.
Justices should always be picked based on the quality of their jurisprudence, not their race.
Like Clarence Thomas was.
GOP senators pledge support for Sotomayor.
Are Lugar, Martinez, and Snowe all racists too?
If I were a racist, I would never have been able to tolerate being subordinate to a black man, yet I had no problem with it. He earned his position as Second-in-Command of an ROTC unit, and I have little doubt he’ll earn a promotion to Captain in the next year or two, assuming he stays in the Navy.

“Language carries culture, and culture carries precepts. Truth does not exist in the same way for one culture as it does in another.”
I agree with your assessment. Latinos don’t think like Americans or other cultures.
“With half a long lifetime living by preference in Latin America I can interpret Sotomayor.”
But I don’t think Sotomayor has a heavy Latino influence. She grew up and was educated in an all-American system. Lots of Latino-looking people have no connection with Latino culture.

True
“‘everybody is racist’ . . . if you hang around with liberals. ”
Conservatives are not only more outspoken but they really act on it.
Bigots come in many forms; the problem is liberals believe minorities cannot be bigots which is a fatal flaw in their critical thinking skills. Sotomoayor is herself a bigot, but liberals would rather kiss her butt than express the truth since she is a woman & Spanish in origin. If a white man said exactly the same things she has said, he would be branded a racist. Democrats are always coddled by the MSM without fail. I find it interesting that most people find Sotomayor to be a repulsive human being & do not want her to be confirmed. Sonya Sotomayor’s bigotry makes Archie Bunker look like Alice Hyatt.
# 32, At the risk of being called an apologist for David Duke, I note that I’ve never heard Duke say anything as hateful and crazy as one of Minister Jeremiah Wright’s homilies. And I’ve never heard him espouse anything more racist or radical than what ‘La Raza’ espouses.
I saw Duke on O’Reilly about a year ago and he was very polite and well spoken; O’Reilly on the other hand was rude, and boorish, and all he could offer in argument were ad hominem attacks against Duke.
This state of affairs, Straight White Men as the personification of evil and racism, and the veneration of Wise Latinas etc. as the personification of goodness and wisdom, did not happen overnight. LBJ had nothing to do with it either.
It happened because White Women wanted it to happen and in fact, made it happen. White women find nearly all White Men both sexless and undesirable, and workplace competitors. This is why White Women wish to replace blue collar White men with immigrants, and demonize White Men everywhere else. This has the effect of putting workplace competitors who bear unwanted sexual attention back on their heels, while empowering rivals to take shot after shot at them.
Culturally, this taking shots at Straight White Men happens because White Women demand it. It’s the New Girl Order, and Straight White Guys just live in it. This explains the global dimensions of PC, anti-White guy attitudes, and so on. Women are just hard-wired that way, to despise men their equals and want men their superiors in status, power, and aggression.
It’s made worse of course by consumer/advertising culture built on female consumption. The global beauty industry is bigger by far than the global arms industry. Most advertising on TV and in print is aimed at women. Attitudes towards average White guys is at best patronizing, at worst openly hostile. This is the ugly reality we don’t want to face, but exists. Shrug. That’s just the way it is.
No amount of push-back will do anything, save boycotts against media and advertisers, because women won’t change their minds about White Men.
Who, again, they view as undesirable and icky bearers of unwanted attention, and workplace competitors. If there was a magic button that most White women could push that would make most White men either gay or dead, either one, they’d break their fingers pushing it over and over again.
“An example of racism and jealousness”
So pointing out someone’s poor grammar and bad looks is now racist? I guess that makes you racist for hating Bush, right?
And ‘jealous’ – hilarious. Does your mom still write your arguments?
“Conservatives are not only more outspoken but they really act on it”
Sheer delusion. How often do Conservatives play the patronizing “I’ll nominate an X!” game? Ever notice that most Conservatives come from or live in more racially-integrated neighborhoods than liberals (there’s a reason you’re called ‘big city liberals’). Conservatives liberated the slaves, repealed school segregation and segregation in general, and fight for the individual liberties of all humans. Liberals just want to use their racist world view to generate a government mandate to run everyone’s lives, which is why every time they open their mouth (Boxer, Biden, Clinton, and on and on) they say the most idiotic, racist crap.
“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.”
In terms of just reading this quote alone, and out of context of it’ s greater passage, concerning the semantics involved, Sotomayer nowhere indicates that “she” is indeed a “wise Latina”, (i.e. she is not forthright in proclaiming, “As a wise Latina of rich experiences, I am endowed to reach better conclusions then a white male who has not lived such a life”)…She just hopes that some future general representative of said order will outweigh a general representative of the other. Which is still racist,(especially in the forum it is used) because of the terms “white” and “Latina” are quantifiable signifiers of racial representation (though the PC term for “white” is “Caucasian”…If she has ever filled out any US government forms, read and understood them, she would at least know that.)…She does not identify herself as one or the other in this quotation though it can be inferred she is the “wie Latina”…She is just being “objective” …The quote inadvertently conveys the impartiality of a gambler betting the trifecta down at the Yonkers raceway. (“I know I ain’t got the legs of the #6 in the 4th , but that nag’s got my money!”) You could also argue this as being the Socratic Method, (“She is stating she is ignorant as to what the outcome would be in such a scenario by only “hoping” for such an outcome.”)…but I’m pretty sure the intent was to signify herself as being THE “wise Latina”, because it is obvious she is dedicating her efforts towards being said vehicle, justifying her own deeds and conscious evaluations through prefereential bias alone and not the complete scope of experiences.
Granted if she didn’t there wouldn’t be much of a horse race..would there?
It is now post time.
I pledge to do everything possible to defeat anyone who votes for the confirmation of this incompetent, racist called Sotomayor.
49. AtheistConservative:
I said before EVERYBODY is racist, didn’t you read it?
You can defend Steve’s comment but it will not take away the sheer dislike for someone who doesn’t have bad grammar (where’d that come from?) and doesn’t look like your idol Paris Hilton. If you guys ever find out how many well educated and intelligent non-whites are around, you’ll crap all the way to hell. Just take a peek at the electronics industry . . .
Well this writer is simply far to straight-arrow-conservative.
How did he get published on PJ Media?
Blarty,
Ouch!
Sotomayor just like Obambi is a symptom of the ‘libtard’ sickness that is the left wing, Socialist, PC, MC, ‘yuman rites’ , Green NAZI, Islamophile, moral equivalence culture which is destroying America.
An example of racist thinking.
In making judicial decisions, the experience of a wise white man will likely lead to better decision-making than that of a Latina woman.
What a bunch of pompous sexist bigotry.
Here’s another bit of pompous sexist bigotry that I fear goes down a lot easier with supporters of Sotomayor.
“The experience of a wise Latina will likely lead to better decision-making than that of a white man. Which of course is a direct quote from Sotomayor.
If you don’t get the point I’m making, then I think it’s pointless to continue this dialogue.
If you do get the point, then I think we’ve made some progress.
The ultimate unmentionable, the unmentionable of unmentionables, is the steady barrage of hate stares and rudeness and even physical assault in the form of intentional unintentional bumps on the street or subway that blacks and hispanics “gift” whites with, those whites unfortunate enough to live in close proximity to blacks and hispanics.
It is a mental gymnastic feat on the part of white PCers that not only do they piss all over their own race but simultaneously bury awareness of the constant assault on their own race by blacks and hispanics while praising them to the skies.
I have no basis to judge her as a Latina, but as a human being, she’s a bigoted failure regardless.
How often do Conservatives play the patronizing “I’ll nominate an X!” game?
Ahem: CLARENCE THOMAS
Its hilarious that this bullshit “racism” question continues. Senator Sessions, one of the most critical of Sotomayor, is on the record with some pretty inflammatory racist rhetoric. If you’ve ever watched news footage from the civil rights era in the South, you see huge crowds of men, women, children, teens flanked by men in KKK robes having a grand old time and calling for the murder of black people. That was only forty years ago. WHere did those teens and children go? What about their parents? Come on, now. One of the reasons your party’s in the tank is because people can’t take you seriously.
You have sessions, who once called a white man sympathetic to civil rights a “traitor to his race” going after a Latina woman with an impeccable judicial record because of something she said in a speech.
The bottom line is no one gives a sh**! The only people seemingly insenced about this are people who have well known histories of bigotry, and that’s not lost on the majority of Americans.
We should create our own white male advocacy group that promotes our economic and social advancement and legal protection. I mean, hell, why not? Everyone else has their identity based activist group. I’d join. But, oh, wait. Such an organization would be classified as a white supremacist “far right wing” hate group wouldn’t it? Funny how that works.
We should create our own white male advocacy group that promotes our economic and social advancement and legal protection.
We already have this. It is known as “the government,” and for most of this country’s history it exclusively promoted the white man’s economic and social advancement and legal protection.
Now we white guys have to share.
Moho: 1.The KKK was a group founded by disenfrachised Democrats. 2. cite your reference for the quote you attribute to Sen Sessions. 3. July 14: “A new Rasmussen national telephone poll finds 38 percent of voters support Sotomayor while 44 percent oppose her nomination.” So I guess there are a lot of bigots in the NATION.

This is a farce!!!
If you can’t succeed in commerce or at law get elected to public office. If you keep your nose clean – you have a career.
Sotomayor has been interacting with this kind of person (losers, in my opinion) all of her life. Sooooooooooo—
its no wonder she made the comment.
Latinos do have a propensity to walk in curved lines when a straight line would do. They don’t seem to be able to connect the dots in the most economical manner. There may be exceptions. (God I hope there are – maybe Sotomayor is).
Most of the old white men I know, myself included, have no interest in being a Judge as we believe we have lives to lead making a contribution to the advancement of our society. But it is true we need rules.
I am married to a Latina and live in Venezuela.
# 48, I’m afraid you may be right. Maybe we should not fear Jihad but buy prayer rugs and wait for the Muslims to restore our manhood. Sort of the path Swedish males have taken.
mr chapin i watched your video and i can’t even come close to comparing you to sotomayor. i liked the video on michele hot or not. you would make a good guest speaker at a “man rules” convention.
lead, follow or get the hell out of the way.
I think it’s safe to say this wise latina is worth more than 10 racist white men. She’s going to be agreat Supreme Court justice.
When are white males going to stand up to minorities and quit taking the bashing that keeps spewing out of these ingrates mouths ??
By the way
The GOP-tilting Chamber of Commerce is backing Sonia Sotomayor in a letter to the Senate Judiciary Committee today.
“Her extensive experience both as a commercial litigator and as a trial judge would provide the U.S. Supreme Court with a much needed perspective on the issues that business litigants face,” wrote COC executive vice-president R. Bruce Josten. “Consistent with her Senate testimony, the Chamber expects Judge Sotomayor to engage in fair and evenhanded application of the laws affecting American businesses.”
