Sotomayor named as Obama's pick

I think everyone wants a level playing field when it comes to race VP, including most white people. White people have had more time to become established on the social ladder, and that's a little unfair.
When things get too slanted to pro minority...white people get frustated because now you've taken away from them to give to someone else. The truth is the advantage of being white is gone and only exists in the minds of minorities now.

I don't think Obama is a racist or this is a racist pick...it's political, and partly because hispanic voters demand to see their people in postions of power, ie a form a racism embedded in society. But, she is qualified and a good pick for Obama, because at the end of the day he's a politician. I think the Obama's and especially Michelle (cause she has trouble holding herself back) need to hold back their desire to do as much for black people as possible. Rather to show a black president can be impartial and therefore race doesn't matter...that will do the best good for the image of black people among non blacks. So far Barrack has done an acceptable job in terms of race, but he should be more careful than a white president not to breed racial frustrations...and that's just how it is.

I'll agree that since Whites have been the controlling influence in this country since its inception, this is becoming more and more alarming to those few who actually believe that there "should be" a class difference. My comment regarding equal representation was meant to be one of fairness regardless of race. It would apply to any group that needs to feel that they have a stake in what is being done in their country. I think Obama has done a good job in seeking out talent, where ever that may be. It would seem the only difference between Obama and many of his predecessors is that that he actually practices the inclusion of all races rather then the exclusion of most in order to keep the good ol boys club in tact.

There must be a social circle somewhere on the planet where that passes for a thought.

LOL...It's unfortunate, but I believe you!
