George Takei Calls Justice Clarence Thomas A 'Clown In Blackface' Over Marriage Equality Dissent
George Takei has come under fire this week for calling Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas a “clown in blackface” over the judge's stance on marriage equality. However, the “Star Trek” actor insists that his comment was not racially motivated.
During an interview with Fox 10 Phoenix, Takei, who is gay, discussed the Supreme Court’s recent landmark ruling to legalize same-sex marriage nationwide. Takei said he was “angry” at Thomas, who dissented to the decision, for his position on the issue.
“He is a clown in blackface sitting on the Supreme Court,” said Takei. “He gets me that angry. He doesn’t belong there.”
In his dissent, Thomas, who is black, wrote that “human dignity cannot be taken away by the government,” adding: “Slaves did not lose their dignity (any more than they lost their humanity) because the government allowed them to be enslaved. Those held in internment camps did not lose their dignity because the government confined them.”
Takei, whose family was held inside a Japanese internment camp during World War II, took issue with this logic.
“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?” Takei said. “My parents lost everything that they worked for in the middle of their lives, in their 30s. His business, my father’s business, our home, our freedom and we’re supposed to call that dignified?… This man does not belong on the Supreme Court. He is an embarrassment. He is a disgrace to America.”
In the wake of the interview, Takei has been slammed for what has been called a "racist" comment -- an accusation that the 78-year-old fiercely rejects.

He later apologizes for his ad hominem attack after being gaoded by twitter users:

Pretty bloody nasty.

Here is what Clarence wrote in full.
http://www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/14pdf/14-556_3204.pdf
-
The other stuff he has a pretty good point with, but using racial language like that just hurts his argument. :headhurts:
-
Government can take away human dignity, when you realise the government is run by humans without dignity.
The thing I dislike most about the Supreme Court Justices is, they seem to take no steps to engage civil society about what their branch does and represents. Instead they take turns exaggerating or belittling their own positions (depending on whether they "win" or "lose" a case)...the whole government is filled with clowns. In the court, in congress, in enforcement. This is the same court that ruled that corporations are people. They have no concept of human dignity left.
-
Speak for yourself. No one takes my dignity.
-
You're not in government though.
-
Government can take away human dignity
Would have to disagree, but also disagree with Thomas' spin on the point of dignity in this decision. Do agree an individual's personal dignity can't be handed out or taken away, but it's a red herring argument because the point wasn't about taking away or giving anyone their own self-respect. Dignity is a measure of worth in respect. Dignity isn't simply found in the personal sense of self-respect; dignity is also found in respectful treatment. No one asked the government to grant them self-respect, so it's a stupid semantic argument claiming a single definition for the court's use of the word dignity.
-
I agree its semantics...if human dignity is described as something tangible (like the way the UN handles the term), then it can be taken away if policies unfairly treat others. If human dignity is a less tangible sensibility about self-respect, then no one can take that away. The sense I was using was the less tangible respect, and I was joking saying it could be taken away- pointing out (somewhat sarcastically) that government officials clearly have no human dignity, given the way they rule on who are persons.

I'm disappointed in the complete lack of funny internet meme type photo jokes related to this topic. >:( :include:

I disagree of course, but I have read hundreds if not thousands of SC decisions and dissents. The soundbites that make it onto the news and blogs are not representative of their work. Scalia is an idiot ass-hat, and Thomas should be impeached, but they are both incredibly consistent.

You know, I have left you entirely alone since coming back. It's telling that the second you feel as though you can gang up on me (with Scrappy of all people, way to pick your backup) you should come after me with some sad ad-hominem.

Lol you picked on me as possum.
What was that, two years ago? Still stings enough that you have been sitting around for two months waiting for your chance? And that was it? Agreeing with Scrappy that unless I work in Washington DC I am not allowed to have an opinion on SC justices?
Well, I hope it made you feel better. :)

Oh look the mongoloid pig is trying to spin it so he's "right" about something :tard:
I don't like or respect you. You are trash. You are a small town nobody with a frumpy wife. You are ugly and obese. If I saw your reflection every morning when I woke up I'd be obsessed with status too. Poor you. I don't care about your opinion of those two individuals btw. It was just a dig at your piggy ass. :P

Okay.
I'm not going to engage with you anymore. I think you have been hurt a lot, and I no longer have the desire to in any way contribute to it. Regarding the things I have said to you in the past, I genuinely apologize.
-
Is that your excuse? Or are you in denial? Why can't you just be honest for once? If you want me to back off just say so. You go after easy targets which is a typical cowardly schoolyard bully tactic. You have picked on Richard now pappy. As possum you went after both myself and rage because we ran you off of here or riiiiiiight you had super important stuff to do. You especially went after rage he hurt your wittle pwide. I laughed when possum said that I was buzzed on coffee and she was hurt by my calling her pic old. I mean passing those crows feet off as a 19 year old?!? Get the fuck out of here! I think some real feelings got hurt there that day when I called possum old looking lmao.

You are trying to be super-tough and badass and edgy to distance yourself from the "autard" image, and probably because you are overweight, and with a sitting lifestyle, likely to grow even more overweight.
I smoke weed, and have to walk 20 minutes to the store. I am not overweight.

The "no - YOU're obsessing about ME!"-angle. Come on, call me fat or something, no wait, that would of course backfire, twice, since I'm not, and you are, but come on...
I'm here for... two more hours at least.

Dat narcissism.

Man this has been a helluva week, AND my first call-out participation (I put forth the most coherent arguments, imho), I hope I've made you cry. What am I saying, of course you cry. That's part of being so edgy - the darkness within etc.

Heheh, there are probably between 10 and 15 thousand people, around the world, who know me by my real name.
Thanks for reminding me of my fame :] I still recieve emails where people ask me permission to use my art-work for educational purposes. Granted, it hasn't happened a LOT of times, there has been two CD-Rom projects, back when that was relevant, and at least two humble museum decorations (probably for pampflets or something). Education, SO LAME HUH!?
Now, what were we on about...
Oh, yes, you just stole "you are crying" from me, I told you just 2 replies ago, and you thought "hey, that's a nice one!" like the unimaginative, ignorant, no-personality that you are. How does it feel to be fat?
-
I don't get why you think it bothers me you calling me fat. I look damn good I have an hourglass figure. I love the way I look. Nothing you have said has bothered me. Your insults suck. You are a basement dwelling failure. My laziness makes me not want to put forth effort in my posts on here. You are an insecure try hard.I don't give a flying fuck how I am perceived on here like you do. I have more going for me than you ever will. I am already working on my future while you toke your life away. And you mean nothing to me. I don't like or respect you. Never have. You are a pretentious douche. Calling someone fat is unoriginal and lame. I am insecure, but it has nothing to do with anything you've tried to insult me with. And I'll be honest since I don't like or respect you, your words will never have any effect on me, ever.

You constantly backup comments against Benji and pappy you hypocrite. You need to sit the fuck down. Also using Mexican as an insult while supposedly *not* being racist says more about you than it does about me,love. Here it is Hykes. One of many examples of his hypocrisies. He's also racist. And full of shit. I laughed when possum called me a fat Mexican I was high on caffeine and she was clearly pissed I insulted her aging face. She ignored rages call out till I did that you can look that up nothing "stung" as this blowhard is trying to spin it. I got him to respond after she was ignoring rages call out that was a huge win possum the aging redneck was furious I may have insulted someone close to mla methinks.
-
I hate double standards too. Mc Jagger owes Rage an apology. Right now!
How is it "ok" for Possum to say that shit? She then calls him a bully for responding. :thumbdn:
She does not look 19 like it says on her profile. Maybe 20 years ago...
-
:squiddy:She's still mad.
People find my bacon smell infuriating. :bacon:
Mad. Busy. Crying myself to sleep at night. Whatever helps you get through another day.
BTW, I understand that Penty has a thing for the smell of greasy pig pussy. You should hit him up. Your virginity isn't gonna take itself ;)
By going away during arguments, coming back ages later, and bumping the same arguments you fled from, for then to likely disappear once the argument flares up again, you are setting some ridiculous precedents for yourself. Why don't you let this stuff go, and post about something else? :I
. :hahaha:
The part I find most amusing though is that possum kept going after rage. Now who was it that ran mla off of intensity to begin with? No i don't believe for a second mid life crisis had anything super important stopping him from his callout with rage. He ran off with his tailbetween his legs and as possum stRted I'm on rage immediately as well as myself. He'll I most likely try to dress it up as lols I was just trolling no rage hurt his wittle pwide.

MLA chased away by Rage?

How does this make MLA Arizona Ted? And why do you want to elaborate on that now, when long time ago, in a thread with bodie, you decided not to tell further on the identity of Arizona Ted?
And, I did not get it completely in the SB, did you think MLA chased Meadow away, or that MLA was Meadow?
And yes, Hubert can get focused on one person like a bloodhound, he does go after Scrap every time he can. But he's not the only one doing stuff like that. There are quite a few more members here with that habit. Hubert is not special that way.

using Mexican as an insult
Must have missed that. Can recall some insults, but not racial ones.
-
"Fat Mexican" only gives two hits using the search function. After this post it will give three hits.
The two hits, one post from Ducky, and one post from the-P, quoting Richard.
I admit I was a bit thick in realising "Mexican" was a racist slur. Did rate it in the line of other comments based on the region people originated from.
-
Would think pointing out any race in derogatory context could be interpreted as racist, or at least racially charged/motivated. Mexican isn't a racial slur; it would be in the adjectives.

Yes, that makes sense.
When too many personal insulting happens in a thread, I tend to skip it, because I get lost in what the whole discussion is about. So I can easily have missed it.
I skipped a lot of the interaction between Possum, Ducky and Rage. Did notice that if one of them was online, the other two would be online within a day.
Did a search on "Mexican" too. Could not find the insult. But, since not all is shown in nest quotes, it could still be there. I could not get myself to reading all nest quotes.

It may not have been used at all, but can understand DFG's assumptions. Racially charged statements when presented covertly aren't always easy to spot, and can be assumed to exist where they may not exist at all, but either way pointless to analyze because it ends in placing words in another's mouth, and frankly stereotypes exist for a reason. Do recall the use of fat and greasy; greasy is an aspersion used for Hispanics. Blacks don't have to be called black to know why they're assumed as dishonest, and when a person who is aware of my ethnicity assumes me to be an alcoholic they don't have to say drunken indian for the assumption to be made.

I remember possum saying that. It could have been deleted or altered.

And there I miss all kinds of cultural knowledge, being raised in a completely different culture.
But, I do get what you mean, there are similar things here.
And Hubert does have a talent to get under the skin of some people who are sensitive to suggestion. He can use factual words and have the hearer possibly appreciate it as an insult and get wound up.

Ducky I am still curious about a bit in the SB.
Did you mean MLA chased Meadow away, or that MLA was Meadow?

Mla did chase meadow away by using her picture to taunt her he posed as her on the zomgreloaded what is sb?
-
He didn't chase her away; she was banned.
-
She went nuts and made a copyright claim on the photo after he used her photo as his Abu and spammed it

Sb?
-
Correct; that's why she was banned. Thinking Hyke is referring to the shout box.
-
shoutbox indeed.
There were a lot of people piling up on Meadow at that time.

What is an Abu? Avatar?

Ah, I get it now.
Don't think Hubert could play someone like Meadow for an extended period of time.

Kapkao was another target I got the impression he was projecting his past self there with kappers tbh.

That's what I thought too, very real. And she would not have lasted here, had MLA not been around either.

How do you mean?

Lots of people got/get targeted on I2. Some disappear forever. Some stay, some change. Quite a few people who like to do the targeting too.
It's very rare to see one person being targeted by only one person.

She did not feel safe here, (nor anywhere else I think) she was erratic in her trust, she turned her back on people backing her. She expected things from people no one could give. She was over-reactive. Don't think she did it on purpose. Was just the way she was. No I2 material.

Tell about the elephant.
What does it look like?
Is it Semicolon?
(He should come back)

Are you talking about the predecessor of Meadow?

Hey, I resent that. I've lost weight and I'm only as fat as a humongous pig. :laugh:

Looks like I missed some drama.
Yes, I am Meadow. And Chair. And someone named Ted. And Rage. And Ducky. I've been trolling you all. :M
(but I have never been on zomgreloaded, unfortunately)

Predictable response
-
I am nothing if not reliable :)

@ Kittenburger
Still curious why you want to find out the identity of Arizona Ted now, when you decided not to go into that years ago?
What changed that you'd like to know now?
