In a television interview with NBC reporter Brian Williams Friday, Barack Obama said SCOTUS nominee Sonia Sotomayor’s viciously anti-White comments are “the exact opposite” of being racist and will be explained fully during her Senate confirmation hearing.
“I think that when she’s appearing before the Senate committee in her confirmation process, I think all this nonsense that is being spewed out will be revealed for what it is,” Obama said.
In a 2001 lecture at the law school of the University of California, Berkley, Sotomayor said, “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,” she said, adding that “our gender and national origins may — and will — make a difference in our judging.”
Obama did say that Sotomayor should have chosen her words better. “I’m sure she would have restated it,” Obama said. “But if you look in the entire sweep of the essay that she wrote, what’s clear is that she was simply saying that her life experiences will give her information about the struggles and hardships that people are going through — that will make her a good judge.”
White House press secretary Robert Gibbs also tried to explain Sotomayor’s words Friday to reporters. “I think she’d say that her word choice in 2001 was poor; that she was simply making the point that personal experiences are relevant to the process of judging,” Gibbs said. “Your personal experiences have a tendency to make you more aware of certain facts in certain cases, that your experiences impact your understanding.”

The anti-white comments by Sonia Sotomayer are consider the exact opposite of being racist, according to the Majestic leader Barry Soetore alias Hussein Obama the Kenyan illegal national.
Just like “Mien Kamof” was exactly the opposite of what Hitler wrote, so was what Sotomayer said.
This was the conclusion reached after conferring with the Obama wizards, the experts on legal semantics, and what Sotomayer said, wasn’t said.
It was that white people do not understand the mind of this wise Latina woman with the richness of her experiences who could make better conclusions than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.” Yes poor misunderstood Sonia!
When Sotomayer appears before the Majestic messiah’s rubber stamp Senate circus committee, Hussein will transform this “nonsense” being spewed out into a tapestry of lies and distortions he is noted for. The fact is he will attempt to skew the truth with usual theater of propaganda and lies in futile attempt to cover up what this La Raza Marxist said, but not to worry; this anti white bigot will be confirmed.
I am a liberal and have always voted as a democrat but a racist comment is a racist comment. Racism is alive and well in the United States of America. It is alive and well in people of all colors, not just white america. But it does seem to me that if you are white, you are not allowed the same right to freedom of speech and anything you say is politically incorrect even if it is based in truth. Sotomayors decision in the case of the white firefighters that was overturned by the supreme court also appears to be racism at the core. I deplore people who judge other people by the color of their skin no matter who they are.
A.C , your analysis was brillant…. by the way i believe it is
