George Takei apologizes for calling Clarence Thomas "a clown in blackface"

[Family Man]

This is such a non-story it's not even funny. We got unarmed Black people getting beaten and shot in the streets and we're cutting down George Takei for saying something that was clearly out of passion and anger and that he wrote what seems to be an eloquent and sincere apology (which I don't even really think he had to do, if I'm being honest). Clarence Thomas is a Supreme Court Justice, whose helped make decisions that were nothing but toxic to Black folk, and his legacy was that he helped corporations, hurt people and ruined politics for decades moving forward. Has stated multiple times that slavery was a good thing and had dignity and George went in on that comment but nobody is mentioning that. Let's keep it funky if George Takei was straight or Black, this would be a near universal celebration. Militancy is coming apart at the seams on this site.

Yeah the coli-militant faction of this site has become unhinged over the past few weeks. They were a bunch of clowns to begin with and gave those sincere problack posters a bad name. Coli-militants are just militant on the coli but passive in real life. They're no different than the internet gangstas.

The fact is that people on this site and in the real world CONSTANTLY comment on the issues of groups they don't directly belong to.
It seems silly to try and censor that, one because it's impossible and two, because that's how progress gets made.
So as long as the person doesn't start trying to pass themselves off as a member of said group or be bigoted I don't see the problem and George did none of that just said the troof.
So unless all the people on here are willing to stop talking about all the stuff they do I don't see how they can tell someone else to.

Nonsense. George Takei doesn't care about Black people, he only said that because Clarence gave a statement about homosexuals. Progress is made when you step outside of your self and not see the world through your own eyes.

Also, Black people don't have opinions? "A clown in Black face": So what is Clarence, exactly? White? Only white folk or non-Blacks can dislike homosexuals? Black people have some moral imperative to stand up for homosexual issues so any Black disagreeing with the homosexual life-style is automatically a white (or non-Black) guy pretending to be Black and dissenting of a "progressive" issue?

 

[Po pimp]

Can't believe this is actually a debate. Black people offended that a nonblack person called out a c00n who doesn't give a fukk about you. Under no circumstances am I defending Clarence fukking Thomas.

 

[Moshe.]

Why didn't he say Scalia is a clown in white face?

It's clear you didn't read what Clarence Thomas wrote.

 

[Moshe.]

The stuff about having dignity in slavery was just an example of Clarence Thomas c00ning as usual.

Where was Takei when Clarence was making it harder for Blacks to file for discrimination or voting? Nowhere, but when Clarence wants to talk about homosexuals, now he's a clown in black-face?

 

[Benjamin Sisko]

That bytch is a fukking clown.

 

[Box Cutta]

Good.

I don't care if "its the truth." The fact that he felt comfortable enough to say it as an outsider shows just how much food we are by letting every other Black ethnic group and other races speak on us people.

Yup.

Why does some chink think he has the right to speak on black identity?

Clarence Thomas is an Uncle Tom, Sell-Out, piece of shyt c00n...no doubt about that, but a fukking Gay Asian is the last person that should feel entitled to speak on this.

 

[Slystallion]

So we should side with racist right wing whites (such as yourself) who openly dont give a fukk about blacks

Hey being a sellout is way more profitable

 

[havoc]

Was he wrong?

Nope. I would have stand by statement if I was him.

 

[havoc]

you dudes really caping for uncle thomas? really?

They must have the missed the comment that Uncle Thomas had said that slaves had dignity. fukk that Uncle Tom. He should be the one to apologize for making c00n statement.

thomas has never been held accountable for his extreme bootlicking. it's just been generally accepted and shrugged off with black folks. so i dont care if a man of another race calls him out on it

 

[havoc]

We know that Thomas is a joke. But the blackface comment wasn't needed. And I don't know why he's even wasting the effort to be upset when we already know he's a cartoonishly hardcore conservative and gay marriage was still made legal.

The blackface was necessary. We have bunch of c00ns line up to take turns to sell-out their own people. c00ns shouldn't get any sort of sympathy from blacks.

Why didn't he say Scalia is a clown in white face?

Did Scalia reference slavery or the legality of their dignity in his dissent?

I didn't read the whole thing but if he had brought that up, or Japanese interment camps to justify his ruling I'm sure they would have highlighted it.

Nonsense. George Takei doesn't care about Black people, he only said that because Clarence gave a statement about homosexuals.

Do you know Clarence Thomas' history?

I'm not saying you gotta co-sign Takei or him being an "outsider" saying what he said but it wasn't just his dissent of gay marriage that provoked that comment. Thomas got singled out because what he said was EXTRA and consistent with his reputation for blatantly throwing minorities under the bus.
