In Your Face, Sonia!!!

So last week the Supreme Court ruled on this absolutelyyyy absurd "reverse discrimination" case. Some white firefighters in New Haven, Conn. claimed they were denied promotions because of their race....idk how they could be jealous of the 2 minority firefighters in the entire state of Conneticut, but that's not the point of this post.

The issue here is that Supreme Court nominee Sonia Sotomayor previously ruled against the firefighters as an appellate judge. What this says to me is the Court is already undermining Sonia, and she's not on even on the bench with them yet....they have stuck out their tongues, folded their arms, banded together like a scene from "Anchorman," and warned her that more is to come if she makes it, which she might not.

They already feel like Sonia has a little too much Latin pride, so overturning her on a race issue is a double victory for her opponents. She is like the "Jenny from the block" of the legal world, calling herself a proud "Nuyorican" and reppin her Latin roots allll the time. Don't you know Sonia? Take it from Clarence - he never woulda made it to the High Court had he been all Black Power/ What kinda power u got? Oh you know I got soullll power!, or if he had a history of racial cases in his legal body of work (which we know literally is not possible).

If you are a minority, and if you came from the hood and made it all the way to the top; you have a right to be proud. BUT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO SHOW IT. at all. It really sucks, but you cant wear your ethnicity on your shirt with buttons and flags and patches. You gotta suppress it your entire career as you continue to ascend. When you reach the top, if you let your soul show then, people will try to find a way to kick you out of your position...but at least then it might be a lil harder for them. It's really a no-win situation. You can be successful and only have soul in your spare time at your house, or you can be proud of who you are/true to yourself and only go so far.

Going to a black school allowed me to buy a little time before I have to join institutions that force me to be an imitation white person, lol. (dont take that the wrong way; it just is what it is. Blacks and Latinos are becoming the majority, yet we still gotta try our hardest to fit in with the rest of them if we want a little crumb of success, wealth, etc. but if enough of yall read my blog I can get my Perez Hilton on and be me erryday, nahmean??!! haha)
