I am taking no stance for or against Judge Sonya Sotomayor. I am taking a stance on the “Color Blind” concept of race. Guess what those of you on the Right, there is race, people are from different ethnic groups and if you can see out of your “Color Blind” glasses you can see that they are also different colors. Being racist is not ignoring one’s difference in culture, race, or gender. Race, gender, and culture do have an impact on how you see the world in general. It does have an impact on how you understand, and how you perceive a situation. Being a white male judge does not make you exempt to a cultural bias that you have grown up knowing. White male is not “normal” it is just mostly what the Patriarchy is full of here in the U.S.
White flight suburbia seems to be threatened when the differences are brought up or pointed out. Why is white suburbia so afraid of Latina wisdom? Why is that racist? Why is it racist to realize what your race or culture is? Now if you are one of those racists who scream “Illegal Immigrant” and “Learn English” don’t bother reading this because you are beyond reaching with this little blurb, I’ll deal with stuff like the KKK in a later blog. Or wait… I thought the civil rights movement was in the 60′s.
Yes your perspective of many things will vary depending upon your life experiences, and yes a Latina Woman may have a different understanding than a White Rich Man. If you deny that then you may have to think about things a bit. So you republicans are just barking up the wrong tree, and this Libertarian is not buying your attack. You need someone to support you, and I doubt it will be me.
So, STOP PLAYING THE RACE CARD!!! You white republicans! Not everything is Reverse Racism.
