I want to be perfectly clear about this next comment so that there is no mistaking my words to mean something other than what they plainly say: the time has come to end white male oppression by castrating every white male until they are no longer dominant in Western culture. That means forcible removal of their testicles. I realize the brutality of my comment, and I don’t know how to say it more clearly.According to the same email, President Obama dismissed the remark, saying it was "taken out of context."

As a white female who grew up in a mostly Black and Hispanic neighborhood, my late brother and I were poor, never had anyone help us in any way. My brother i can asure you can make better choices than Sotomayor. Not all poor people who have a hard life are Balck or Hispanic. there are plenty of White people who have the same disadvantages.
