Sotomayor, a Racist on SCOTUS

Let's begin the entry by allowing me to state that I am white. My ancestors came from England, Ireland, Wales and Germany. So, I am a true Euro-mix of nationalities. I have one line of my family that I have traced back to 1775 in the then colony of New York. My most recent immigrant is my great-grandfather who arrived at the turn of the 20th century from Ireland.

Being white, I am proud of my heritage. However, I cannot express said pride without being labeled as a racist. Should I make a public statement that a white male is smarter than someone from another race, I am labeled a bigot.

Now we have our newest nominee to the SCOTUS who happens to be Hispanic and has gone on record as stating "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."

Now I must ask, why does this double standard exist? If I were to make a statement that a wise WHITE male would reach a better conclusion than a Latina, I am racist. If I start an organization name National Society for the Advancement of Caucasions or the Caucasion College Fund, I am racist. Even the POTUS spent more time in his campaign focusing on being half black and not half white.

To me, it is apparent that Sotomayor is not suited to sit on the bench of our highest court or any other court for that matter. There should not be a white view, a black view, or any other partisan view from the bench. The job of the SCOTUS is to review the laws and eliminate those that do not abide by our Constitution. Nothing more, nothing less.
