| Topic: Six Years of Silence for Clarence Thomas | |

I am curious since all the people on here who call people who speak out about Obama or disagree with Obama and or his politics are called racists, why the same people arn't on here calling the people who disagree or are attacking Justice Thomas racist. Oh wait, it's because he is a Republican appointed by a Republican. 
What does this have to do with race? Where has race even been mentioned in this thread until now? That is my point. If it were a thread on Obama several members here would have thrown out the race card already but because it's a Republican getting criticized it must be ok. Again, this has nothing to do with race. It also has nothing to do with Obama. If you'd like to discuss race or Obama, feel free to create another thread. You have to be pretending here. I rarely agree with LPDon, but his point is clear. There is an obvious bias when it comes to race and the political spectrum. Black conservatives can be mocked and insulted with impunity, but simply disagreeing with Obama is grounds to be called a racist. Pretending about what? Where in this thread have I or anyone else said a word about race other than you guys who keep whining about it? |

Pretending about what? Where in this thread have I or anyone else said a word about race other than you guys who keep whining about it? And that is the point being made. Every thread about Obama's failures as a President turns into a race fest within a page or two at the most. LPDon wasn't making a direct comment on your post, he was rather making a meta-comment about how the racial double standard that exists. |

So, is that what you're trying to do here because you've seen it happen in other threads?

So, is that what you're trying to do here because you've seen it happen in other threads? Has anyone accused you of being a racist? No. It isn't that hard to understand. I can only assume you are putting on a front, so you don't have to admit the blatant race baiting your side of the political spectrum engages in. The point being made by LPDon and InvictusV isn't that you are a racist, it's that they would be labeled a racist if they described Obama using the terms used by you and Bravalady. |

I can only assume you are putting on a front, so you don't have to admit the blatant race baiting your side of the political spectrum engages in. The point being made by LPDon and InvictusV isn't that you are a racist, it's that they would be labeled a racist if they described Obama using the terms used by you and Bravalady. No, I have not been accused of being racist, so there's nothing for me to admit to. Are you trying to say this thread was racist? If you're not saying that about this thread, then what's the point? What terms did I use that would be considered racist? |

I said "your side of the political spectrum", not you. Are you trying to say this thread was racist? Nope. If I wanted to say that, I would say "This thread is racist". It's easy to say. No challenge really. If you're not saying that about this thread, then what's the point? I wasn't making the point, I was defending the point raised by two other posters. They used this thread as a launching point to discuss the double standard and hypocrisy of the left and race. What terms did I use that would be considered racist? Any questioning or criticizing of Obama is considered racist. That is the point LPDon and InvictusV were making. |

Show me exactly which terms I've used that you are talking about.
And congrats on turning a thread that had nothing to do with race into a thread about race... solely because it has happened in other threads. Good job!

This is just his personality. He is a follower. I personally think he's mentally lazy. Of course that may not be true, and I haven't steeped myself in his decisions, but I do pay some attention to the Supreme Court and I've never seen any evidence that he really thinks for himself. If you've never looked, how could you expect to find evidence? Clarence Thomas is the only Supreme Court Justice who is a strict constitutionalist. Since he assumed the bench, the court has swung more and more in his direction. He is very convincing in his arguments, if he can swing the entire Supreme Court to his way of thinking. What makes you think I've never "looked"? I said I hadn't steeped myself in the subject. Maybe you missed the part where I said I do pay attention to the Supreme Court? That includes reading a number of books on its recent history, which include biographies of the justices. However, I don't obsess on the subject as I have many other interests. Jumping to conclusions is unattractive. |

You know if he were a liberal and you said that you would be a racist.. I've already told lpdon that this thread has nothing to do with race. Please don't egg him on. Get over it. This is a public forum. |

This is a public forum. It certainly is. You can write what you want just as I can. You wanted to turn this thread into something about race and you succeeded. |
