Tancredo on Sotomayor, "A brown woman..." [View All]

[vaberella]

Now...I didn't get to see this vid and MSNBC conveniently kept this part of out of their questioning...but how can he be taken seriously after this comment. What I found interesting is that much the way "Black Bitch" is used to emphasize the race of the woman and as a double insult (ie Blackness is as bad as bitch)...Tancredo played the same game with Sotomayor by emphasizing "brown". This is the first time I've seen this used for Latina women, and I'm sure it won't be the last. When I saw that...all I could think was, "welcome to the club..."

The GOP has taken race way too far and Tancredo (who is of Italian descent, like I thought he was) is a mad man with loose lips and I have the feeling more and more of this shit is going to be coming out. I would love to see Tancredo and Pat Buchanan on screen together because I know they'd let loose a slew of racist epitaphs on screen. At that point, I hope he gets fired---Pat that is.

Black bitches and Brown women are running amok.
