Sotomayor was clearly a racist, and it is good that she was overturned in this case.

Enough said.

I think he as a white man, is better capable of pointing out racism than a latino woman.
How so? Sorry, Reverend, but his cursory conclusion that she is a racist isn't cutting it for me. And just because he's white? Give me a break.
"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," -Sotomayor, October 26, 2001.
Why did my statement about his whiteness bother you, moreso than Sotomayors statement?
Oh brother. The obsession with her statement is making me sick. Good bye.

Does that mean you are obsessed with the Rev's statement ???
...that doesn't even make sense

Then you have no problem with my statement. Since I would like to think as a white male, I make better decisions than a latino woman.,
St. Louis had the exact same situation last year. White firefighters scored higher than black firefighters did on the captain exam. The city went to great lengths to insure the test was fair to all. The black firefighters union went to court, but a federal judge ruled that the test was not biased. The Fire Chief was black and refused to promote the white firefighters that scored highest on the exam. Of course, both sides were unhappy.
This logjam went on for six more months until the Mayor gave the chief an ultimatum to promote the firefighters that scored the highest on the test or else. The Chief refused, so the Mayor fired him.
I moved shortly thereafter, but as far as I know, the issue was settled.
The Reason I am could not join the NYPD is because I wasn't a woman or a black man when I passed the exam in the 98%, they only had to score 68% to get ahead of me.
This was Dinkins.
I don't think King's vision of a color blind society will ever come true.
I hope they ask Sotomayor what she thinks about this reversal because I am curious how she reacts when she's reversed.
No surprise about the 5-4 ruling with Kennedy being the swing vote.
Try reading slower. There's only ten words.
This is why there should be litmus test for allowing someone to be a judge. If they are going to ignore a discrimination because of the plaintiff's skin color then that judge is no better than some judge in the past who did the same thing because of skin color. Why do we allow these racist to be judges? I am so sick and tired of racial discrimination being called "revere discrimination", it is not reverse discrimination it is racial discrimination. Why the **** do a lot of people play along with the reverse discrimination label?

So are you saying that 4 of the current Supreme Court Justices are unquestionably racist simply because of their decision on this?

The firefighters discriminated against because of race and those 4 justices apparently felt that racist policies are a good thing. Either they are racist because why else would you support racist policies or they are hypocrites who claim to be against racist policies while supporting and allowing racist policies for other groups.
This is real actual definition of racism(not some crock **** liberal racist apologist definition)
American Heritage Dictionary
racism-
1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others.
2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.
