In other words, GOP code language to get a rise out of their zombie voters.

Is that about right? :shrug:

And scholarship = favoritism for nonwhites
but hard work for whites.

I admit, I missed why she emphasized the hard work the first time I saw her speak.

5. You are witnessing the kind of racism that blacks often
see that a lot of whites miss. That kind that says, "okay I'm not racist, I truly believe that all men are created equal, but if "they" get in charge, they will get payback against us, so...", type of racism.

Alito got to brag about his ancestry during his confirmation. Can you imagine Sotomayor doing that? Pshaw!! Aieeee!! Racist!!!!
