TYRONE GA!
And this is the difference between Mexicans and blacks. They stand up against other groups of people who talk down on them. We say things like, "good," "Was he wrong?," and "I agree," when others talk shyt about us. fukk George Takei, I'm so tired of being told that I should support x, y, and z because I'm black, and should automatically understand and be down with the struggle of others. I'm not anti-gay, but this equating of the black experience to gay rights is completely over the top!!!! I'm over it.

I'm not caping for Clarence Thomas fam. Him or that c00n Jesse Lee Patterson any day of the week. Sorry.

Not giving him a pass. I'm not picking and choosing when nonwhites should be able to say hurtful shyt about us. While we differentiate between the Clarence Thomases of the world and others within our race, many many bigots do not. Letting slick shyt like this ride creates a precedent. Don't be surprised.......

I think it was Chris Rock who had a funny little sketch about this phenomenon but it escapes me...

I don't see how this is a racist comment. "Blackface" is an actual historical phenomenon... it's not like Takei said, "Clarence Thomas is a nikker clown." Seems to me that Takei was basically calling Thomas out for being a Tom :manny:

They thought that way before the Chris Rock segment. :francis:
