That was from Obama’s Supreme Court nominee Judge Sonia Sotomayor, in her Judge Mario G. Olmos Law and Cultural Diversity Lecture at the University of California Berkeley School of Law in 2001.
Now, go and read the Alternate Universe Quote of the Day to see how it would sound if John Roberts made a similarly racist quote.

Just think how much wisdom she would have if she were a gay, crippled, transsexual, retarded, non-English speaking, convicted criminal, uneducated latina woman from Africa. A libs dream come true!

Taken alone, yeah, this quote sounds racist. But it would have been more honest of you to post the entire argument that surrounds it. It doesn’t sound so racist then, but maybe that would have prevented you from raking mud.
Here’s a little more than just the soundbite you posted: http://www.seattlekarma.com/2009/05/27/is-obama%E2%80%99s-supreme-court-nominee-judge-sonia-sotomayor-racist/

Her comment is without a doubt “racist” in that it implies that a particular race would be better suited to judge someone than another race. Her comment also was “sexist” in that it implies that a person of a particular sex is better suited to judge someone. That said, it is very understandable as most people’s experiences and perspectives in their life are based at least in part on how they are treated as they progress through their life (and of course race/sex plays a very important part of that). So, though her views ARE “racist” and “sexist”, who are we to condemn her for telling the truth about how we all think, even when we try not to? I do however think that everyone who called her a racist was not that far off and the media should drop that and focus on the more important issue of whether she is a fit candidate for the Supreme Court.

Try spellcheck genius. Yore rightingk suks cuz u anit got no pucktuashun, gramar or meks eny cents.
Your scathing retort in the final line of your posting brings me to my reply:
Nyah, Nyah, Nyah!
Grow up, get a job, get off the drugs and come back down to earth.
Speaking of racism, check out the attitude, behavior and language oozing from the annointed ruler of the world, the OBAMA!!! He is the consumate (look it up) race-baiter. His attitude shows his disdain for Caucasians, Americans and the Founding Fathers.

I didn’t lose “moneys” pea-brain. We ALL lose, in the form of taxes that will be passed on to our grandchildren, for those of us hetereos that still breed.
Obama claims to have ended to war in IRAQ-LIE. He won’t raise taxes on anyone making less than $250,000.00-LIE. The Cambridge police acted stupidly-DUMB. Healthcare Reform won’t raise taxes or fund abortion-LIE.
Would you like me to go on? And that is without even looking it up.
Are you a producer or a taker? A payer or the one with a hand out?
From your obvious mastery of grammar and the English language, it appears you are not of this country, or fluent in Ebonics. Enlighten me, please.
As for the “killing” comment, that stands for itself. If anyone disagrees with your Doctoral Thesis Opinions, they are murderers?
Hey, turn on the TV or radio, if you are actually in the USA. The dems are getting their ass handed to them as we speak. Even after the imposter in chief, his shrew wife and court dunce VP play to literally HUNDREDS of people in venues all over this week…
NEXT ON A STATION NEAR YOU-REPUBLICANS HAVE THE HOUSE AND SENATE!!!
Bwaaaahaaaaaa haaaaaaaa!!! I voted, did you? And only once, using my real name and showing a real ID.
I feel your pain and anger at the massive loss suffered by your party and foolish ideas. And I gloat and revel in your pain….
Bwaaaahaaaaahaaaaa.
Good night!

Sorry All,
Something about stupidity brings out the blue meanie in me…
I am in a great mood right now, watching news coverage of what may very well be come to know as the Tuesday Night Massacre occuring as we speak.
The people have spoken all over the country, and they are mad as hell, and not going to take it any more!
Guess I was hard on poorsha whatever, but, it is this mindless foolishness and acceptance of ass-clownery from the left that has brought us to the brink…
If you want to come to a fight, don’t come unarmed.
Right now, the MSM is almost in tears, making excuses, and minimizing Republicans, Tea Party folks and gnashing the teeth, wailing, and tearing the hair and clothing. It is beautiful.
Not all the voter fraud and electioneering is going to pull the dem’s fat out of the fire this time.
Hope and change? Ummmm, yeah.
Bless you all that voted and God Bless America!!!

There is more where that came from. I respect your reply. Sorry I lashed out.
Please refrain from insults or name-calling in discussions, it inflames people and invites retaliation. I will attempt to do so also.
Cite facts, figures, statements, backed up by references, sources, etc.
It brings credibility to your argument, and earns respect (grudgingly) if you are right. Which is not to say one side or the other is always right.
It is great that we are free to exchange ideas, insult and demean one another, criticize government and engage in verbal fisticuffs without going to jail, is it not? That is the beauty of a democracy.
I and others like me would like to keep it that way.
Thanks for your reply and civility this time.
I am sheathing my sabre now, and turning in for the night. Till we meet again…
