Funny story however is that I am part Native American. Small part, but still a decent part. I am blonde, green eyed with medium colored skin. When people start bitching about inequality or illegal immigrants or rights, I pipe in with the family history and jokingly tell them all to get in line. We were here first. After they get over their disbelief about our lineage, they get a bit more quiet. It gives me a quick giggle. Thanks Grandma!

I no longer defend myself against allegations. Answering with something as lame as “but I have many friends who are black/gay/Mexican” (etc) is wholly unnecessary to intelligent people.

About one million white men, including my great-granduncles and grandfather, fought, bled (and one died) fighting, as Republicans, to end slavery. Democrats/lefties accuse Republicans of racism because racism makes up a huge chunk of the DNC’s DNA. By smearing Republicans, Democrats (especially union teachers) perpetuate a mythology that has never, as a party platform, existed.

So the next time someone acts that way, understand that it is based upon their character, not yours. They do not merit a response.

Strangely enough, ex-slaves (who overwhelmingly joined the Republican Party) coined the term “house Negro” to describe black apologists of slaveholding Democrats. As a political party, the DNC still enslaves the majority of blacks today by appointing morally weak black leaders. Free people KNOW they don’t need leaders, so why do Democrats and the media appoint them?

I want to relate a story that happened to me, a white woman raised mostly in the Midwest who is proud to not see the color of her friend’s skin, only the content of their character.

I worked with a woman who was raised in affluence. Dysfunctional affluence but affluence all the same. A bit of background, not for sensationalism or to disprove my point above, but to put it into context she is mixed race, black and white. When the OJ Simpson ‘not guilty’ verdict she high-fived another black person in room saying that it was payback to the black community for years of discrimination and for all the black men in jail. Throwing aside all rational thought, this educated woman raised in affluence actually thought that while OJ was guilty, American society ‘owed’ it to OJ to set him free. The fact that she and OJ lived in the same world, knew the same people, and hated being identified solely by her appearance, was a victim of domestic violence and that OJ took the life of the mother of his children was not a factor for her.

What once was a friendship where we could talk about anything, or so I thought, became one of me walking on egg shells, afraid to say anything for being labeled a racist or insensitive. Needless to say, the friendship ended for many reasons despite this incident.

I still have friends of all races whom I admire for their accomplishments and how they live their lives. Never does the subject of race come up. They’ve worked hard, as have I. When minorities stop thinking that they are owed something in return for just being on the planet, then we’ll be able to move on.

As far Herr Reichsfeurher Obama’s desire for “empathy”; that may be fine for domestic relations or family court, but the Constitution deserves more than touchy feely interpretation, or am I just being cold hearted to expect a judge to A) read and listen objectively and B) dispense justice instead of “fairness”.

Where integrity and public safety are concerned, communities have a right to expect the best, and candidates should exploit every opportunity at least as much as the most mediocre candidate does. It this were not true, professional sports teams and philharmonic orchestras would also reflect American demographics. But because such blatant expositions would expose affirmative action as the social fraud it is, the Yankees and Boston Pops have never been compelled to endure quotas.

If a police agency or Congress can discriminate in its appointments, why haven’t the Lakers been compelled to hire Hispanic females and transvestites who have overcome racial or homophobic biases?

While the best candidate by any other name is still the best candidate (sorry Shakespeare), as long as Democrats continue to discriminate against anyone (as they have throughout their history), the best candidates should use whatever advantages they have to overcome that discrimination. If John Roberts had told the world that he was a black lesbian trapped in a white man’s body to get onto the Supreme Court, I’m okay with that. When liberal Democrats discontinue racial discrimination we can stop that nonsense.

One more thing - IF EVERY JOB APPLICANT IDENTIFIED THEMSELVES AS BLACK, HISPANIC, (or whatever the flavor of the day is) THE EMPLOYER CANNOT NOT COMPEL PROOF OF ETHNICY AND WOULD IMMEDIATELY ACHIEVE ANY QUOTAS HE/SHE WAS FORCED TO ACHIEVE AND MEET ALL IMPOSED DISCRIMINATORY QUOTAS.

Until the Lakers are forced to reflect LA’s demographics, Justice Alito can call himself whatever he wants to - just as Sotomayor does.
