Just Keeping Track For Myself

"When white would embrace what is right..." is what was prayed for at the inauguration of our new president, Mr. Obamanation. Well, they're getting what they prayed for.
This white girl is embracing what is right.
Right wing, baby!!!

Reverse Rascism

Could you imagine if President Bush had dome something so racist???

"Sotomayor readily admits that she applies her feelings and personal politics when deciding cases. In a 2002 speech given at Berkeley, she said she believes it is appropriate for judges to consider their "experiences as women and people of color," which she believes should "affect our decisions." She went on to say in that same speech, "I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn't lived that life."

Unless that white male looks at the case and says, "You murdered someone. You going to jail regardless of how you were raised... and no, there will be no sympathy just because you and I are both white." For her to assume that just because someone is white means they had a perfect upbringing and does not understand the judicial system is racist and just plain wrong. And if she is implying that a white male is going to throw people behind bars for something she wouldn't-I'd rather have him anyway. Less chance of me or someone I care about getting mugged!!!

soooo glad I'm not alone. I think I even blogged (not about this particular issue) but something very similar regarding Mr. Obama. Amazing isn't it?
