Obama’s Race-Driven Politics Dominant in Washington

I thought the reforms of the 40’s – 60’s put an end to blatant race-driven politics. Race and racism as legitimate qualifications for government ended with the 1964 Civil Rights Act. Or it did until America’s big mistake of electing Obama’s came along. Obama has made racism a part of the national government again. This is so sad, millions of us in American worked hard to get “race, creed, religion, and national origin” out of consideration as qualifications for public office.

Racism is back and with a vengeance. source.

Sonia Sotomayor 'La Raza member'

As President Obama's Supreme Court nominee comes under heavy fire for allegedly being a "racist," Judge Sonia Sotomayor is listed as a member of the National Council of La Raza, a group that's promoted driver's licenses for illegal aliens, amnesty programs, and no immigration law enforcement by local and state police.

According the American Bar Association, Sotomayor is a member of the NCLR, which bills itself as the largest national Hispanic civil rights and advocacy organization in the U.S.

Meaning "the Race," La Raza also has connections to groups that advocate the separation of several southwestern states from the rest of America.

Over the past two days, Sotomayor has been heavily criticized for her racially charged statement: "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."

The remark was actually made during a 2001 speech at the University of California's Berkeley School of Law. The lecture was published the following year in the Berkeley La Raza Law Journal.

There You have It

Being a member of a racist group such as La Raza (The Race) is comparable to being a member of the KKK or some neo-Nazi skin head movement. Fortunately, neither the KKK nor the skin heads have any real membership or power. This is not so with La Raza, they are about to put one of their own race (Raza) on the Supreme Court.

How typical that Obama finds a nasty woman full of hate and racism to nominate for the Supreme Court when he could nominate one of the many qualified, loyal, and patriotic women who really believe in America. Race-driven politics once again dominates the national political scene.
