In October of 1492 on a small island in the Caribbean a momentous event occurred. It was not the Discovery but its great side effect. We do not know the name of the man and woman involved. It came about through passion or it came about through rape. But the results were a new race, … Read more

Judge Sotomayor speaks out. I would hope that a wise Latina woman with the richness of her experience would more often than not reach a better conclusion than a white male who hasn’t lived that life.
