Michael Steele Sells Out Completely

Michael Steele has lost all credibiity as a person of color by joining the Rush Limburger and Newt Grinch Republicans labeling Sonia Sotomayor as a Racist. The idea is so absurd most pundits are too stunned to comment on this ridiculous assertion. I am not.
Far too often miniorities given position of "power" have had to think and act like white men to maintain their positions. If Sonia Sotomayor is guilty of anything, it's that. She has maintained moderate positions in most of her rulings because she knew people were observing for any signs of bias on her part toward Hispanics, African Americans and the Disabled. Just as the first African American and Hispanic Police Officers and government officials were harder on their own race, just so the white establishment and the minority community would all understand that there would be no special favors just because we share the same ethnic group. Ms. Sotomayor is being attacked for her view that as a Latina gowing up under difficult circumstances, she might make better decisions than a white man.
The fact is, white men have considered their race and background in Supreme Court decisions throughout the nations history. Dred Scott would be happy to tell you how he was returned to slavery because all the white men on the jury felt they were superior. How Jim Crow laws, Lynchings, and segregation laws were upheld for almost a century by white judges.
Michael Steele calling this highly esteemed jurist a Racist disqualifies him from being referred to as African American for the rest of his life. I guess he really does report to a big fat, drug addicted, moron!
