Clarence Thomas - The Biggest Loser In The Ascendancy Of Barack Obama
Recall back about 80 years ago. Clusters of hate-filled, bigoted Whites waited for the news of an offense done by a Black man upon the sanctity of a White woman and this is all that was needed for them to go after a Black man and string him up. Any Black man would do to quince their thirst for blood. Even if a "wink" at a White woman turned into the claim that the offending Black had raped her as this news was transmitted through the klan - the truth did not matter nor did the proportionality. "There will be blood" is all that mattered.
As I inspect the antics of the hate filled Black Quasi-Socialist Progressive-Fundamentalist Racism Chaser there seems to be such a spirit within some of them.
For the life of me I can't understand how the names "Clarence Thomas", "Condi Rice" and "Ward Connerly" dredge up so much venom, mucus and hatred out of these people. IF the measure of deservedness of such behavior was that these people have WORKED AGAINST THE BEST INTERESTS OF BLACK PEOPLE - it is clear to me and all others who are honest that there is a LONG, LONG, LONG list of other Black people who should be placed before these 3 individuals. I can think of several school district leaders of failing schools, mayors of murderous cities and activists who have worked to undo certain laws and policies only to leave the police in check but the criminals running wild.
None of this matters though.
For the hate filled, ideologically bigoted BQPFRC the proportionatlity of the offense is trumped by the violation of his IDEOLOGICAL norm.
Clarence Thomas is but a symbol for them.
The Black lynching victim of the past was merely a symbol for racist Whites in kind.
THE IMAGINATIVE BQPFRC
When I ran across the article by Gregory Allen Howard I was taken by his imagination and his ability to craft a certain set of sentiments out of Clarence Thomas' inauguration day feelings about Obama.
I see that Mr. Howard expects us to believe that because BARACK OBAMA believes that Clarence Thomas is not qualified for the Surpreme Court (even after 24 years) that we should take this opinion of our left wing biased president as sacrosanct. After all he is a pretty good judge of character. Look at Rev Wright, Bill Ayers, Tony Resco.

Conservative Feedback,
I have to a conclusion that 95 percent of black people are living through Obama and will never take the effort to clean up our communities and school. My friend called me a "closet republican" due to my critique.
BTW... Why haven't you done a cythnia tucker critique?
[1] RE: "BARACK OBAMA believes that Clarence Thomas is not qualified for the Surpreme Court (even after 24 years)."
This is a misquote. Just to be clear: In the public comments Obama made about Thomas during the campaign, he did not say Thomas was "not qualified even after 24 years." Obama said that if he was Senator at the time Thomas was nominated, he would not have voted for Thomas:
"I would not have nominated Clarence Thomas... I don't think that he was a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time for that elevation. Setting aside the fact that I profoundly disagree with his interpretations of a lot of the constitution. I would not have nominated Justice Scalia though I don't think there is any doubt about his intellectual brilliance. Because he and I just disagree."
[2] Putting Rice in the same class as Thomas and Connerly is a case of "one of these is not like the others." The overwhelming enmity that I see toward Thomas and Connerly, I just don't see that toward Rice.
Rice is disliked because of her association with the Bush administration and the Iraq War. But she's not seen as someone who works against the interests of the black masses, like the other two.
[3] Allen's article raises a question that, to this day, still remains unanswered: why did Thomas ask that SCOTUS consider the request of an East Brunswick, N.J. attorney, who has filed a lawsuit challenging President-elect Barack Obama’s eligibility to be president.
Thomas’s action took place after Justice David Souter had already rejected a petition for the stay of a writ of certiorari that asked the court to prevent the meeting of the Electoral College in mid-December, which will certified Obama's presidency.
As Allen noted, Thomas needed 3 other Justices to have the case reviewed; such support never came.
What was Thomas thinking? Allen's accusation that Thomas did it out of spite does seem far-fetched.
But Thomas' decision to have the issue considered by the full court seems to equally illogical. Again... what was Thomas thinking?
