Here is a fine example. Lets be real, if I got down to business and fully broke down race in this nation and political meanings behind them, I would get banned instantly and be dubbed a racist even though I'm telling the truth and I'm actually one of the few people that supports real racial equality. It is because society is structured so if anyone talks about race in a "non politically" correct way, they are instantly silenced and dubbed racist. Hence, we are being dumbed down on the mass scale and we have no choice but to believe in these strategically placed ideologys by the f**kers destroying our country.

As am I. Speak your mind. I won't go off half-cocked again.
We're all about intelligent discussion here, I'd hate to think I've derailed they with my previous comment.

Supreme Court Is Right to Reject Sotomayor's Ricci Ruling on New Haven Firefighters
from:
http://www.usnews.com/blogs/john-farrell/2009/06/29/supreme-court-is-right-to-reject-sotomayors-ricci-ruling-on-new-haven-firefighters.html
The Supreme Court's ruling today on behalf of a group of white and Hispanic firefighters from New Haven, Conn., is the latest proof that it's time for our increasingly diverse nation to start dropping affirmative action programs based on race, and move toward a color-blind society.
The court ruled that the white and Hispanic candidates who aced their exam, but were denied promotion by New Haven because no black candidates qualified, were the victims of reverse discrimination. The case is particularly relevant because, in reaching their decision, the justices overruled a decision by a federal appeals court that included Judge Sonia Sotomayor.
Sotomayor's participation in the appellate court ruling will no doubt provide grist for conservatives, and other foes, as she heads toward hearings and Senate confirmation.
And that will leave us with this contorted tale: The nation's first black president, after selecting the Supreme Court's
first Hispanic nominee, will be criticized because, in ruling on behalf of the city of New Haven and its affirmative action plan, she penalized Hispanic candidates.
We are moving past logic and reason. We can do better than this.

^^^^^ Awesome.
Oh, and I despise the term "reverse discrimination". It's called "discrimination".

Agreed.
"Reverse racism" = "Racism"

I am liking Sotomayor less and less, and I didn't care for her particularly to start with. Some of her words and judgements are so hopelessly altered by sexism and racism that I fear seeing her take a seat on the supreme court.

Unfortunately that's not a good enough reason to deny her. They are going to have to prove some kind of moral corruption and with Clarence Thomas on the SC, it's hard to argue that any nominee is more morally corrupt than him.

yet the slightest hint of racism would destroy a white politicians carear. The government actually benifits from racism, as long as "we the people" are at each others throats nobody pays attention to the scoundrels who blatantly break laws, Take actions that they have no authourity too, send U.S. jobs overseas to take advantage of third world slave labor or absolutely REFUSE to protect this country from the tidal wave of illegal slave labor flooding across our border. Just to name a handfull of the many ways our government is failing us but, no one seems to notice.

Sorry, what was that again? I was too busy getting my Walmart clothes and hiring guys outside Home Depot to help me out with the yard.

Hannity made a good point tonight. If she was a prospective juror, and made that statement during jury selection, she probably wouldn't be deemed fit to serve on the jury. Yet here she is, a judge about to be appointed to the Supreme Court. Funny how that works.

Was re-reading this thread and this sort of struck a chord.
This is true of many politicians whether they are repub/demo/indep etc. but to draw a parallel Sotomayor could not be on a Jury based on those comments - and Barack Obama likely wouldn't be able to hold a security clearance if he was not President. Having been through the TS process I am positive he would be denied. For the people who are going to be butt-hurt because I mentioned Obama, I am guessing if Bush's drug use was known he would have had some trouble getting clearance as well during his service.
The people in these positions are given passes so often for so much stuff us "every day people" would be destroyed for. I always liked that part of the song lifestyles of the rich and famous by good charlotte where they mentioned that if you got caught smoking crack while working at McD's you would be fired and would have trouble getting ANY job since you're probably a felon now, but you could always just run and win your election as mayor of DC. And congress wants those people to have a vote..........

Nice Burn!
But, I gotta agree with twisty on his overall point. These powerful government people get away with stuff that would ruin our lives. It's total bulls---.

Lets face the facts. If Bush nominated her, we would have every single democrat pointing out that she is a racist anti-American. It doesn't matter who is nominated, what's happening is blind party alliance.

Well I'm the same age as you. And I already know that all politicians are full of it. You and I are the last people they care about. That is why the only politicians I trust are the ones that are going to stay out of my business and let me run my own life.
