Think Progress ran this piece about Justice Clarence Thomas taking some quote or another out of context. The reactions to a man honestly stating that his job is not particularly exciting or profitable took the inevitable racist turn when White Bourgeois liberals weighed in with their real thoughts about us colored folk who don’t toe their line.
Here’s a selection of liberal tolerance:
†I am dumb an incurious â€
†I am really a black homer Simpson â€
†I like to vote with corporations and against the common man â€
†I am sad my big judge job no gives big house “

I guess Thomas doesn’t speak proper English, you know because he’s dumb and incurious (read Black.)
He would rather be dominating people, raping women, and stealing.

Even if you didn’t believe that the Anita Hill accusations were a political attack by Robert Byrd loving Democrats, and even if you believe that sexual harassment and rape are the same thing, when was Thomas accused of stealing? Or is it a given because he’s Black?
the ONLY reason he got the job was Bush the first was scared shitless to not nominate a non-white judge to replace marshall. So he picked this dumb ass, who sits bitterly and never asks one damn question.
He’s just bitter because he knows he got the job as a quota, plain and simple; he took advantage of all the chances he could get from being black when he was in college, but he made sure he closed the doors behind him once he was through.
Hey Thomas, white people and black people hate you, how does that feel?

Yes, there are lots of advantages to being Black in America. Why, it’s a virtual paradise!
I’m sick ‘n tired of public officials B*TCHING about their “jobsâ€.
You’re an guilded cage elitist pig and should be HAPPY about the choice you made in life.
Otherwise, smoke some crack and get on with your REAL life!

All Black people smoke crack in “real life” according to White liberals. And that’s not racist at all.
Maybe you can find a nice quiet cabin in the woods to park your motorhome, Uncle Thomas…

I’m betting Nevar isn’t Black. In fact it’s mostly Whites who call people “Uncle Tom” nowadays, mainly because the anonymity of the Internet allows them to avoid the ass whippin’ they’d get for doing it in person.
Of course he hates his job. If you were incompetent and unsuited for your job, you would hate it, too. He, like all Uncle Toms, is quite pitiful. I can only imagine how Bush One and his cohorts laughed when the great Thurgood Marshall passed away. I can hear them now: “They want a minority on the Supreme Court, we’ll give them one. Ha Ha.†What a shame this wretched soul has helped his conservative brethren (who accurately view him only as an ignorant pawn) wreak havoc on our country, our civilization and our planet.

Tom Paulk is also White. And apparently a farmer from Alabama. But why would I think he’s racist?
This is all unsurprising given the real history of Democrats who savaged Blacks for decades. Yesterday was the anniversary of Republican Carl Shurz’s report to the 1865 Congress detailing the abuse of newly freed Blacks in the post-war Democrat controlled South:
In the summer of 1865, Schurz traveled throughout the postwar South. His report on conditions during the administration of Democrat President Andrew Johnson outraged Republicans across the nation:
“The former masters exhibited a most cruel, remorseless and vindictive spirit toward the colored people. In parts where there are no Union soldiers I saw colored women treated in the most outrageous manner. They have no rights that are respected. They are killed, and their bodies thrown into ponds or mud holes. They are mutilated by having their ears and noses cut off. Dead bodies of murdered Negroes were found on and near the highway. Gruesome reports came from the hospitals — reports of colored men and women whose ears had been cut off, whose skulls have been broken by blows, whose bodies had been slashed by knives and lacerated by scourges.”
Just yesterday was the birthday of Black Republican George White who served two terms in the House of Representatives starting in 1896. He was a delegate to two Republican National conventions and a political pioneer. Democrats in his native North Carolina responded to his and other Black politicians’ success by enacting a law in 1901 that “barred nearly all African Americans from voting in North Carolina”.
Democratic animosity toward Black Americans has a long and sordid history that the racists at Think Progress would like America to forget, but can’t help but remind us of with every hate filled rant aimed at a Black man or woman who doesn’t fall into line and serve their liberal masters.
Grand Old Partisan is a great source of information for the truth about which party is more racist. The blog author also wrote a book called Back to Basics for the Republican Party which should be required reading for every Republican politician.
