Fuerte Pushback Against Sotomayor Hate

June 7th, 2009

Don’t let the last post fool you. The pushback against the anti-Sotomayor messages and anti-Latino messages in general are coming strong from organizations in the form of websites, videos and kick ass images.

Take for example the art coming from Presente.org, seen here. Presente! also has a petition at their site urging the Senate Judiciary Committee to Confirm Judge Sotomayor.

Speaking of petitions, The National Council of la Raza, has set up a site along with a petition directed at Republican National Committee (RNC) Chairman Michael Steele, House Minority Leader John Boehner, and Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell, to stop the racist/sexist speech against Sotomayor and Latinos overall.

Sotomayor : Still Under Attack with New Old Stereotypes

June 7th, 2009

The attacks on Obama’s Supreme Court Nominee, Sonia Sotomayor, haven’t let up.

Newt Gingrich, everyone’s favorite oppressed white man, took a step back from the assertion that Sotomayor claiming her identity equals racism.

Then we have Pat Buchanan talking about Sotomayor and that Puerto Rican group (cuz you know there is only ONE Puerto Rican group).
