***SUPPORT OUR TROOPS***

That’s nice, maybe with the raise in salary she can get a decent hairstylist. I never understand it when professional women have jacked up hair.

Judge Sotomayor was appointed to the US Appeals Court by Bill Clinton, so she has a Republican appointment (Daddy Bush) and a Democratic appointment (Clinton) to her credit.

I am sick & tired of these Puerto Ricans looking for us to constantly do something for them the filthy cockroaches. They are our enemy and we need to realize that! Ain’t no way a white person would choose one of them for this court. Obama needs to look at the other candidates for this job.

I’m all for diversity but I think Obama should be more concerned with someone who is qualified. I’ve never heard of this Sotomayor but hopefully she has something better backing her up then her ethnicity.

That last comment by Chris is isgnorant and whats wrong with the world…

umm…the Supreme Court ALREADY has some COLOR…ever heard of Clarence Thomas…I guess he doesn’t get any recognition since he was appointed by one of the Bushes….

That is one ugly woman! Woof!!!!! Look at that nose!!! She looks like Squidworth from Spongebob Squarepants!

Don’t worry. This nomination is going to be squashed by the Republican during the confirmation hearing. No one wants a Puerto Rican on the highest court. They will find pictures of her smoking crack, breaking in somebody’s house, cashing her fraudulent welfare checks, you know how these people roll. It would be much better to chose a Cuban-American for the court.

The Republicans and many Democrats are gonna freak out over this. A Spic? Hell no! She probably didn’t even make it out of fifth grade and will be an embarrassment to Obama. Chose the Chinese guy or one of the many white women over the Puertorican.

Sorry, but most of the spics in New York went to Hilary. Blacks are surpassing them on every level in America and they are angry about it. They don’t deserve advancement and should wait their turn. nominating her will be Obama’s biggest mistake.

Im black and im disapointed at the hatred coming out of the mouths of some of y’all.

Heitor is right, Obama needs to find a Cuban for this selection to the Supreme Court. America would prefer a Cuban over a P.R anyday.

@Well, I ain’t shocked

Can you name some blogs?

Black people, please don’t hate people who hate you. Try to stay positive. Hate is like poison, when people hate you they are killin themselfs, there is no need to go down with them.

If my Enlish is kinda effed up, pls excuse me then, because English is not my first language, (I’m from Holland).

The Chinese judge all the way. Or the white judges also up for the nomination would be far better choices for the court. I hope Obama listens to reason over this nomination because this woman is all wrong for too many reasons.

Sonia is so ugly!!!!!!

i am disheartened by the racist comments on here.

as a black women, i find it so sad that my own people would be so prejudice to the hispanics.

I fully support a women of puerto rican decent to represent the american people as a Supreme Court justice!!

to those who would rather have just black and white, move to africa or england. being racist is really getting old and irrtating

It would’ve been better to give it to another Thurgood Marshall.

I don’t like his selections.

monkey*- sorry for the typo, but it doesn’t really matter, you comprehension level is not that high or your I.Q.

An Asian is good too…Anybody but a guala.

They already gave us swine flu, isn’t that enough?

I am not that familiar with Attorney Stoyomayor, I will have to do a lot of research. I am glad that this will be a big move to mend Latino and African-American relationships because we need to work together as people of color!

“I was going to college and I was going to become an attorney, and I knew that when I was 10,” Sotomayor said. “Ten. That’s no jest.”

YES! You tell ‘em ma’am…I don’t know much about this woman (I’ll have to read up on this), but she has the right attitude…

@ Daisy

I most certainly do agree with your comment.

@ Its6amHoGetOut

Why should he support something that doesn’t really advance black people…i mean come on affirmative action…how can it REALLY help black people when it’s a system that only advances someone because of their race and NOT because of their intellectual abilities…how stupid…i don’t blame him….

and as far as unfair crack laws….man no comment…

WOW…these comments sound exactly like what you would find on a “right-wing” blog about black folks. how can some of you get riled up when some white people make comments like these about us but you can so liberally spout things like this about another group of people? if you have something against her personally about her stances on issues, something she’s personally done, then fine thats given, but to trash her for the sole purpose of her ethnicity is wrong and some of you aren’t any worse than the few white people who do it. you should know better, shame on you! this is only to those who shout spic or other rasist names.

yeah I was just going to say that this woman got through life and school because of affirmative action and so do most spics. Yall should know this by now.

I agree daisy. The comments on here are quite disturbing. Sounds like this woman is MORE qualified than our current president!

I’ve heard her speak. She’s amazing.

TRIAL BALLOON.The administration it throwing names out there to see what kind of attack it will draw.

I hope some of these racist comments are not from real black people. Why is it ok to say racist things against Hispanics, it reminds me of racist words by white people against black people. I honestly don’t even think most of the people were black who wrote this, it’s more of the divide and conquer routine by members of hate groups who hate people of all races except Anglo-Saxon white people. This woman would be ok but I’ve been saying for years they need a black woman on the Supreme Court because there’s never been one.

I think it would be awesome. As long as she is a liberal or moderate, because Hispanics/Latinos tend to be very right wing (Catholic) minded. I think more often than ever with a Black President, there will be more opportunities for more monorities to shine!! But I agree a sister as a Supreme would be amazing!!!

The problem with some Puerto Ricans is that they think America is back in the 1950′s as far as the position of Black Americans are concerned. Black and White people for that matter have moved on tremendously whereas the Puerto Rican has stayed the same. How can people so low on the totem pole in American society think they are better than anyone else? How come there are no major Puerto Rican businesses, stars, politicians, etc, etc, That’s why I think Black America should hitch their wagon to the whites and not associate with the Puerto Ricans because they will only hold them back. let Puerto Ricans accomplish something worthwhile and then we will see. Whites will never vote for a Puerto Rican candidate for higher office I bet.

Wow, I cannot believe what type of language that is being used to describe another human being. I hope that the racists using words like “spic” and “cockroaches” are NOT black. Black people especially should know how much words like that can hurt a race of people. To the persons who left the comments,YOU disguist me and you should be ashamed of yourselves.

I do not have any negative opinion against Judge Sotomeyer, however, I feel Obama should nominate a black woman to the supreme court.Yes we can!

People are idiots. Sorry to tell my fellow black people, but Obama isn’t in office just to advance black people. He’s in office to advance America. Look up this individual, she is probably the most qualified person out there. If she is the most qualified person out there, would you really want him to appoint someone that may be less qualified just because they are black?

And before you people that just read certain parts on posts say anything. I’m not saying that a black person is less qualified, im saying that she very well could be the most qualified person available.

BlACK WOMEN RULE!!! YES WE CAN.

Just read the best cities for black love…Now I see where all the hate is coming from… Did a Rican still steal your man or is that you just can’t get one? OH!

[...] Obama, there was our other first black president Bill Clinton. The class of 2009 at FAMU had the honor of [...]

Earthchild, I’m with you! I would rather see a Harvard-educated African-American woman nominated for the spot.

Clarence Thomas hates blks. We need someone on our team. Obama should choose another blk qualified person. Let the other groups tackle their problems when they run and get elected for the white housse.

Check*- excuse the typo

Leah Ward Sears Chief Justice of the Georgia Supreme Court would be a perfect person for Obama to nominate to the Supreme Court of the USA. Justice Sears is an African-American with a BS degree from Cornell University, a J.D. from Emory University, and a LL.M from the University of Virginia School of Law.
