Racism And The Courts

In 2009, U.S. Supreme Court justice Sonia Sotomayor was appointed to the Bench after stating that “A wise Latino woman will make a better decision than a white male”.  This was not her only racial outburst.  Others were a matter of record at the time.

Many of those charged with vetting and approving her appointment were white males.  White Senators and a black President were apparently unable to arrest or resist or even acknowledge unabashed racism spewed forth by a latino lawyer educated in the best of the white man’s flagging universities. Most of President Obama’s first term appointments seemed to share edgy views similar to those of Justice Sotomayor.

In truth, today’s problems go much deeper than racism.  Faith built the New World.  Faith has now died, and today’s best thinkers can no longer see the light.  They cannot understand because they cannot think.  

White males wrote the words in the U.S. Constitution that ultimately led to the extension of voting rights and equal opportunity to women and people of color.  It’s tragic to witness the thanks they now receive, and it’s too late to reverse what has become the Achilles heel of western freedom: tribal minds vote for their own above all reason.  There is no hope for what was once the greatest nation on earth.

As goes the U.S., so goes the free world at the end of this age.  Devolution into tribalism.  That is our fate.
