It's great, that Obama has put before us one of our own nationality as a candidate to the Supreme Court. We couldn't be happier. After years as important members of this nation we finally have a real voice.
Saddly it seems that the same racism against Hispanics that saw the banning of Marijuana in the United States and the closing of immigration nearly 90 years ago has reared its ugly head once more.
And it's the gall of what people like Newt Gingrich and Rush Limbaught are saying that pisses me, pisses US off.
Not only are they disagreeing with a statement that Hispanics find not only COMPLETELY agreeable, but also represent what we seek to find in America. True representation from our viewpoint on the highest court in the land.
But they attack someone as being Racist for wanting to have a Hispanic person representing their viewpoint. They attack us as Racist for thinking that someone who has had the experience of being a Latina or Latino has a different viewpoint of the world, a viewpoint that MUST be represented, a viewpoint that is a fit for what WE have personally experienced.
That is downright disgusting. It makes me sick in the mouth. It makes me want to vomit. The stench of their hatred and the putrid odor of what they are doing, it makes me want to throw up my intestines.
It's like saying a black man who grew up in the Ghetto would have no different viewpoint than a white man that grew up in Beverly Hills.
The fact is there is a god damn difference, and us Hispanics much rather have someone who shares our experience provide a viewpoint on the highest court in the land. The fact is that without that our side of the story would never be represented, and that is the ultimate unfairness there could be.
I will NEVER. EVER. EVER. Vote for a Republican again in my life.
Nor will any Latino I know.
We are disgusted.
