That's racist by your own standard, provocative and unacceptable. Explain yourself.
Mediaiate, Alex Grisworld describes George Takei's remarks in a Fox Phoenix affiliate interview.
“And for him to say, slaves have dignity, I mean, doesn’t he know that slaves were in chains? That they were whipped on the back? If he saw the movie 12 Years as a Slave [sic], you know, they were raped.”
Must we have American history from movies Takei? And did Thomas say that? That is hurtful incredibly pinched and appears to be a paraphrase. I don't believe you.
Justice Thomas, explain yourself. [justice thomas, slaves, dignity]
* Huffington Post, Clarence Thomas Cites Slavery In His Dissent Against Marriage Equality, For Some Reason. Justice Clarence Thomas has lost his damn mind.
Skips. I always feel IQ points drain along with civility whenever I accident upon that foul catch basin. Let's say they have some kind of point on their remote planet after we peel away the distorted framing "marriage equality" we always do have to start two, three steps backward, and stay in disagreement there, before addressing the fresh provocation. So forget it. They're talking amongst themselves.
* Newsbusters, George Takei's Racist Rant: Clarence Thomas Is A "Clown in Black Face'. That's more like it. I'll read this one that comports with my feeeeeeeelings. And with what I know to be true. With all this information we have to weed things out somehow. We gardner-types do that more facilely than most. I mean, after all that attention to plant details all over the place, all that thinning out, any little thing that doesn't fit or turns brown -- out.
All I want is what Thomas actually said so I can judge the degree of Thomas' blackfaceness myself, what a term to use, what a way to see things, and confirm the conclusion Takei the one-time actor is a big mouthed racist himself. I'll only scan the article for that bit and save my own opinion.
Newsbusters has the whole Thomas statement in different typeface so it sticks out. Thomas writes that human dignity is innate. Thomas explains the bible, wish he wouldn't, and finds corollary with the principle that dignity cannot be taken away by government. Thomas said that slaves did not lose their dignity because government allowed them to be enslaved and those held in interment camps did not lose their dignity because government confined them. Likewise those denied government benefits do not lose their dignity because government denies them those benefits.
Well.
Thomas spoke to innate human dignity apart from government. Takei sees dignity springing from or confirmed by government, apparently. It is government that issues a license for marriage.
That part kills me. It just does. Decades of not giving a shit and now suddenly it's everything, the dividing line between types of decency.
I keep thinking about seeking validation through something so stupid as government recognition of my marriage, it meaning everything to me, and I just cannot. It is the exact same thing as seeking validation from my dog.
Then I'm thinking about the state issuing dog licenses. I never did get one of those for any of my dogs. All of them were unlicensed. I could probably get in trouble for that. But I sure as heck never sought validation from the state for my dog. These dogs, all four, were champion stock. I was more interested in bogus AKC documentation than I ever was about state recognition. And I wasn't about to have them wear jingly tags around their necks as if the state owns them. Step off.
Dogs, marriage, when it comes to state recognition, same thing. Irrelevant.
They're speaking different languages. Thomas speaks mind and Takei speaks feels. Thomas's movie has Morgan Freeman as janitor/god and Takei's film is not 12 Years a Slave, rather, it's Idiocracy where all black justices must be liberal justices and all liberal justices vote as solid bricks and without any discernible trace of judicial nuance in their opinions, so long as Takei gets what he wants. He cannot conceive a non-Democrat black justice, that is how racist Takei is.
Enough of Newsbusters, back to Mediaiate where Takei continues explaining himself.
“My parents lost everything that they worked for, in the middle of their lives, in their 30’s. His business, my father’s business, our home, our freedom and we’re supposed to call that dignified? Marched out of our homes at gun point. I mean, this man does not belong on the Supreme Court. He is an embarrassment. He is a disgrace to America.”Got me, right in the heart. I see now. Parents, feels, middle of lives, feels, 30's, feels, business, feels, home, feels, freedom, feels... Takei is running his "touch" finger up and down his own chest, everything that government did, nothing about his parent's innate dignity through all that, only the shameful indignity wrought by government, the same one he looks to for license, nothing at all about justices behaving as bricks, nothing about three branches observably behaving as one single branch. None of that would disturb the likes of Takei, so long as Takei gets what Takei wants and even when Takei does get what Takei wants then Takei must still be bitter and racist.
Takei! Government did that to your family. The same government that is having its way with pretty much whatever it wishes right now because you give it power it would not have otherwise without it. You are using government and Party as bludgeon to ruin people's lives and careers to get what you want and nothing else matters to you. You have what you want apparently you're just a mean bitter little bastard. I must insist knock it off with the sophistry of purposefully conflating inherent dignity with the indignities overarching government dishes out when people like you put so much effort in working so hard to take umbrage to twist a man's meaning, purposefully mis-comprehending, all to empower crackpots and have them in charge, four justice voting as stupid bricks adjudicating something they have no business handling. And when the position is explained to you, Takai, and Huffington Post, you purposefully argue a different language. You're all too stupid to understand what Thomas said. You will give your own innate dignity to an underserving agency.
Just STFU and enjoy your marital bliss, Racist.
