Does Sonia Sotomeyer seem to be a flagrant racist to any one?

She has seem to forgotten the Declaration of Independence: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal

Update:

Wil H: Justice Samuel Alito said he was a wise Latina Woman?

Sarafina: Umm, huh? Why would you assume I hate black people? Are you related to Kanye West or something?

Seriously, why should someone's ancestry make them better at one thing or another? And assuming that someone's "race" is an indication of their education, experiences or social standing is just ignorant.

Update 2:

From Merriam-Webster: Racism - a belief that race is the primary determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race

    Modern culture and society in America only perceives racism when someone who is white makes any type of "negative" statement about any person of color. So no matter what a minority says they will almost never be considered racist by the mainstream media or the public population.

    No, she isn't.

    Read a genuine definition of "racism". In the legal sense, it is about the USES OF POWER which come from the dominant side.

    The deep history of racism is ALL right wing...the idiotic fantasy of "liberal" racism is a bold-faced lie. I was in the civil rights movement myself, and I saw precious few Republicans or those who described themselves as "conservatives" working in the field, or even lending us verbal or moral support. Indeed, when Barry Goldwater began to acknowledge that blacks had a right to be "damned impatient", in 1963, it was his own party's right wing that jumped all over him.

    More important, the neo-Nazi ultra-right--which really IS deeply racist--is her primary source of opposition, and that alone should tell you something.

    Source(s): Reality, where the lunatic ultra-right neo-Nazis NEVER even think of going or acknowledging.

    Yes she is......if you replaced latina woman, with White man - that man would be called racist.

    She's a hateful woman who Obama chose to get back at the 'evil'white man.

    All I know so far is she's 6/10 being overturned because she was wrong and is definitely racist.

    According to her, latin women are far more superior at making decisions then white men....and black firefighters who fail a test deserve to be promoted over qualified candidates solely because of their race....
