Of Pride and Prejudice

I've noticed that whether we're talking about getting over child abuse, rape, war crimes, discrimination or a host of other things where one group is people are wounded and another group, who experienced no wounds, looks on, it is always the group who was not the victim who tell the people who were that they have to get over it right now. In many cases, people are told this while they're still bleeding. Get over it they say. That was then, this is now. The trouble is that the ones who say this are lying to themselves and to others. It isn't over. It is better, but it is a long way from being over. Did people really think that the surge in people joining white supremacist groups after Obama's election was an accident? White men are in the minority now, but like Lindsey Graham, they're still demanding that they get all the top jobs and be the ones to govern the rest of us. When white men started governing the rest of us, women and blacks weren't allowed to vote and other minorities had no rights. Today, Hispanic Americans are the fastest growing demographic, African Americans have discovered the power of their votes, women are highly educated and taking their rightful place. We like white men. I'm married to a good one. But they aren't the Lord and master anymore. We need to teach the old, white, Southern men who make up the majority of the Republican party that we aren't afraid of them anymore. Play nicely or go home boys. You don't own the ball anymore.

The GOP's attempts to create hype over this week's confirmation hearings regarding Supreme Court justice nominee Sonia Sotomayor blew up in their face as the GOP's 3 Ring Circus also came to town.

Here comes the Govenorship quitting Ring Mistress Sarah Barracuda from Alaska leading the audience into the circus to watch:

In the Center Ring we have the Hypocri-C-Street Juggling Trio featuring sex scandalous clowns Sen. Ensign, Gov. Sanford, and Fmr Rep. Pickering displaying their skills at bribery & decit, hide-n-seeky poo, and lobbying for your mistress's company...

In the ring to the left, we are treated to the incessant Eco Stimulus Whining Hyenas named Senators Kyl , McCain , and Gov. Perry who simply cannot make up ther minds on whether to improve the quality of life in their home states, or betray their constituents (yet again) by denying them necessary monies for education, health care services, and infrastrucure improvements...

in the ring to the right, we have the Aging Elephant named Pat Buchanan trying to infuse race in this week's confirmation hearings, by highlighting a civil case regarding white firefighters, and trying to compare it to the years of enslavement of African-Americans and the subsequent legacy of racism and segregation which have been lessened by affirmative action, civil rights advancements, and the ever-growing tolerance of diversity in America. The hard fought struggle of Women's Suffrage, the scars of Japanese-American internment camps, and the ongoing discrimination against gay Americans clearly overshadow the unfortunate examples of reverse discrimination against causasian Amercians, and show that our nation still has a long way to go before we can see ourselves as a nation of Americans, one people.

Pennsylvania can keep A. Sphincter - nobody else wants him

Arlen Sphincter is schizophrenic

Errata: ''Environment and Public Works'' committee for ''Health and Labour'' ,CSPAN for July 16.

POLITICO July16,2009:''Boxer Accused Of Racial Politics''.

No,actually,Graham was correct.

But in a differant Senate committee and for a differant reason.

CSPAN on July 15 picks up the action in the Senate Health and Labour committee charged to handle the new healthcare plan which they are attempting, as with Pelosi in the House with the Energy Bill, to ram through without debate. Mr. Henry Alford is the President of the US Black Chambers of Commerce, who oversees thousands of small businesses run by African Americans who would be affected by this healthcare plan which would force these into paying higher prices and these species of ''surtax'' in order to cover their employees, creating ever more economic ruin. In explaining the onerous conditions for minority-owned businesses set by the Senate bill, Alford has one of this years most tempestous exchanges, not even eclipsed by Graham/Sotomayor, with the lily-white Sen.Barbara Boxer [D-Ca] who displayed patent racism at the hearings, so offending Alford that he pushed back against Boxer and called her positions ''contemptable'' , playing ''unneccesary race cards''. The exchange became so bitter that a recess was about to be ordered when the platform was passed to a Republican, Kyl of Arizona in order to defuse the rancour between Alford and Boxer. I am left with no doubt whatever that had this been the Republican Kyl, instead of the Democrat Boxer, immediate charges of racism and their appearence here on NEWSWEAK quickly following, would have been leveled against the GOP. As it now stands, the only place you will hear of Boxers racist garbage, is here.Californians could do much worse than to throw Boxer out of office at the first opportunity.

Senator Jeff Sessions said today that "the Republican Leadership has no intention to filibuster the Sotomayor vote." As if they could filibuster anything these days. Sessions' statement roughly translated means: There's no way the GOP party of Hate can keep this Rican off of the Court!

How can we ever be "one" nation when everbody puts thier race first? African-American, Mexican-American, Asian-American. I argue that it's racism......... Isn't it funny that if a white person said they were a White-American, they would instantly be called a racists. But hey, minorities are "in" this year. Meaning you've finally been able to pull your share, something they were never able to do before.

Sotomayor is a MESS; the US is just one big soap opera; more DEAD WEIGHT on the bench; all this butt-kissing is BORING

I thought she was Puerto Rican- does that not make her an American?

Also, if we were to remove the terms, Latino, woman, would she be the best supreme court justice that American has to offer?

"Thank God we are no longer a country where blatant prejudice and unexamined biases control the judiciary"
You mean bias by whites, it is very aparent from this article that Ellis Cose is an ignorant racist. He acknoledges a white man would be persecuted for such a statement and then justifies the same statement for minorities. This revenge way of thinking will only hold minorities down.

Too bad this racist, anti-gun, pro-abortionist judge will be confirmed! Obomination at it once again!
