I rarely watch television at all. The bias inherent in the news sources has gotten so bad that it really isn't worth watching.

A. It was an op-ed, not the DNC or any official.

B. He's 100% correct IMO.

C. Stop trolling us with your Michelle Malkin stories.

It's really not a racist statement though. At most, they could have said African American. But can you at all disprove that Clarence Thomas doesn't represent African Americans as a whole? His career on the bench involves saying nothing, writing nothing and agreeing with Scalia.

Funny. They disagree 21% of the time. Text

What if we labelled all rich blacks with an asterisk since they aren't the mainstream gangsta hoodlums? Bill Bennett says to abort black babies and the liberal media is all over him, but I guess now its ok to "asterisk" or throw oreos at others. :roll:

So you think that mainstream blacks are all "gangsta hoodlums"? Letting your true colors show there?

 

[CaptnKirk]

I beleive that in this context Asterisk would be pronounced 'Ass2kiss'

Come on, you can at least admit a similar comment about someone made by a Republican would ignite a firestorm in short order.

It isn't nearly as insensitive as Byrd's use of the N word or something along those lines, but still, dismissing it as 'nothing' shows either naivety or obfuscation.

Oh, you're right on that one. Any type of poorly worded or mispoken phrase will be taken widely out of context with ease. I'm just saying, it's not as though the statement is wrong, outside of being PC anyways.

Yes, by agreeing with him 79% of the time doesn't prove anything about about Thomas and Scalia regularly agreeing with each other...... :roll:

Yes because adviocating geniocided is the same as saying a person doesn't represent the views of the mainstream black community.

Must be tough to get through that remaining 21% by saying nothing, writing nothing, and agreeing with Scalia, and ending up disagreeing with him after all.

There are other judges in the 70s agreement rate.

Abortion is now genocide?

Liberals hate blacks, and conservatives, guess its no surprise they have the utmost hatred for a black conservative.

Ok? And those other judges also share their opinions and ask questions. Thomas just shows up to work and votes.

 

[Rainsford]

Ok, am I misunderstanding the fact that this is an op-ed piece from a newspaper? Does every op-ed piece written by a liberal (or someone conservatives can call a liberal) represent the view of all liberals and everyone on the left? Who cares what the guy said in the article, it's one guy in the opinion section of a local publication.

 

[Strk]

Apparently it does......

 

[her209]

Would a black man who has the same views of black America be confirmed?

Yeah, that's right! Boy do we hate those blacks. Why don't you go talk to your buddy Trent Lott about what would have happened if strom Thurmond's dixiecrat campaign had worked! Your party is the party of uncompassionate jerks, who care only about themselves and money. Talk to the seniors who aren't getting great benefits for their drugs because Bill Frist is reaping in all the benefits. Talk to all the residents of New Orleans because Michael Brown was an incompetant moron. I think it's absurd that you say that liberals hate blacks, especially because of your obvious party affiliation. And for the record, that wasn't racist, it was pretty true. Clarence Thomas, AKA "pube on the Coke can" guy, does not agree with mainstream black America. ALSO, it's nice to know that you think every African American who isn't rich is a hoodlum or a 'gangsta.' I think we all have a pretty good idea who the racist here is.

 

[zendari]

How about I talk to Robert Byrd?

 

[raildogg]

Nothing surprising here. The radical leftists are the modern Nazis and many of them seem to control the Demoncatic party. They are saying that throwing oreos at conservative blacks is ok. Why are Demoncatic politicals saying it is okay to throw oreos at conservative blacks? Why do these people harrass conservative blacks?

Blacks cant be conservative now? Clarence Thomas was right when he said it is a high-tech lynching.

I feel pretty sure somone like Byrd has amended their ways. It's only one person in a sea of millions of tolerant people. The Republican party has a history of being intolerant and racist, don't try to pin it on one person. And yes, Byrd shouldn't have been part of the KKK, and I don't like him for that. But I could run down a list of people who are just as bad as Byrd.

You mean Soviets? Nazis were extreme right-wing.

The Democratic leadership (or any reasonable percentage) said throwing oreos at conservative blacks was ok? I must have missed that one. Seriously...factual support?

 

[Deleted member 4644]

I don't consider that to be racism. Basically, they are just calling attention to the fact that while his skin is black he does not bring much "diversity" to the SC.

Written nothing? He's authored ~100 Supreme Court opinions, including ~50 majority opinions, while serving on the bench. You must be a supremely accomplished individual to call that 'nothing'. Please share with us all your legal accomplishments (and posting trollish trash on the internet definitely doesn't count).
