Toobin On Sessions' Suggestions That White Men Don't Carry Biases

http://mediamatters.org/blog/200907130015
Given all the reporting about the Supreme Court overruling Sotomayor's Ricci decision, and about Sotomayor's background influencing her judicial decisions, when will we see a journalist ask if Supreme Court Justice Samuel Alito was influenced by his background in voting to overturn the Ricci decision?

I am white and the republicans are trying to make it out to be that she is racist, but the reality is that they are the ones being racist for not considering the possibility that a woman and a Hispanic can have life experience that a white man can't have which can positively aid ones perspective.

interesting that jeff sessions, who himself was called out as a racist, is implying 'prejudice'.

actually, not implying... he USED the word directly.

Toobin has it right... apparently (to repugnicans on the hill) anyone not male and white is a suspected racist.

@Deron3003 actually thats what the person making this video is saying, i think you misunderstood it, mediamatters usually shows clips just of things that they disapprove of, but in this case they showed a clip that also included a nice rebuttal that they agree with

White Men Don't Carry Biases ......???? wtf?.lol

thats like saying the pigs pussy aint pork

I find that statement just a little jarring also

[beginization]

She told the truth that she is a racist and it would affect her judgements

clear as a bell?

The Jewish people have a right to live in a Muslim country if millions of Muslims have the right to live in Christian nations in Europe. Why is is illegal for Jewish people to move to a Muslim area, but not illegal for Muslims to move by the millions to a Christian area? Oh, because you're a Muslim supremacist!!!

[youcutmelegoff]

the settlers aren't moving into a Muslim country they're building in illegally annexed land. If they moved there and became palastine citizens you'd be right but they're building in land and claiming it belongs to Israel

I think electango has been drinking a little to much of the FOX kool-aid. Plz watch another channel instead of TiVoing Hannity and reciting.

Lmao the poster of this video is a dumbass. Toobin was pointing out how Sessions is making it seem like white men don't ALSO have biases.

Is this what you really want to argue about? The middle east? If so, maybe you should just post a video saying what you want to say, and I can respond to that.
