From Sister Toldjah from her berth at Red State we see the most recent example of the left and their hypocrisy on race:
But there’s a huge difference between legitimate scrutiny of a member of the court versus leaning into despicable and dated racial/gender stereotypes as a basis for one’s “argument” for or against one, and the Washington Post definitely crossed the line into the latter in a Wednesday report in which they all but used the term “Uncle Tom” to describe Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.
“Nobody that I’m aware of feels that opposing Clyburn’s nomination would be the wise thing to do,” [Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-Miss.)] said. “If you know that a person has been vetted by Jim Clyburn, you know that person won’t go to the court and end up being a Clarence Thomas,” referring to the Black justice whose rulings often resemble the political thinking of White conservatives.
Keep in mind that this wasn’t an opinion piece nor an editorial. This was ostensibly a “straight news” report that strongly insinuated that a black conservative Justice was a traitor to his race.
This is on a level of Joe Biden saying “if you don’t know who to vote for you ain’t black”. It is simply the most recent egregious example in a long list of such.
Essentially what we have here is the left using it’s racism to gain power for the left under the guise of denouncing racism. But I tell you this…
For every George Floyd, for every Trayvon Martin, etc etc I can give you a Candace Owens, a Walter Williams, a Clarence Thomas, a Thomas Sowell, a Ben Carson, a Shelby Steele, a David Webb, a David Dorn. The list goes on and on, but you get the idea.
What’s the difference between them? Why is this latter group successful in our society, and in our unhyphenated American culture? Because they actually decided to join it.
And for this, the left denounces them as not being real black people.
For the last few years we’ve been sitting back and watching our cities burn at the hands of BLM whose strings were being pulled by the far left, because the left believed and still does to this day that those riots benefited them politically.
If that connection seems outrageous to you, ask yourself, why did the riots stop the moment the Democrats got what they wanted, which is to say, power?
And yet, what of the lives of black Americans has changed for the better in the last year? Not a blessed thing. In fact, things have gotten worse.
And why have things not changed? Why have the promises made been forgotten?
Because as always, the left dropped the tool as soon as it had served its purpose. The Democrats have been playing Black Americans for fools for years and a goodly number of them, some of which are listed above, have long since started to catch on.
Pinch Sulzburger has been trying for decades now to tatrnish the name of Clarence Thomas for the crime of actually being a conservative…. so this Washington Post thing is simply more of the same.
Justice Thomas
The fact that he can’t get around however is that Justice Thomas is our longest serving supreme Court Justice these days and an absolutely brilliant jurist.
The fact of the matter is, the left does not want to solve racial issues. The worst thing that you can do to a leftist is actually solve a problem, because once you do they lose their ability to demagogue it as the Democrats have been demagoguing race since the 60s… and I mean the 1860s. If this is an example, the left has never switched sides. We can only hope that the majority of Black America catches onto this.
