Great point. And that is part of the problem in this country. Black people are supposed to look out for and have a primary concern on all things black for some reason. Why? If someone comes out in the Supreme Court, for example, and says I am here to take care of white issues first and foremost, that would be racist and the media and justice brothers would erupt calling for action.

We aren't ever going to get past most race issues because there are people, black and white, who look at everything through race first. And a lot of these people who went after that NBA guy are just those type of people. Race first, always.

Oh look, another example of hypocrisy. You see though, he is a democrat and his target was a man hated by liberals, Clarence Thomas.

This guy also said that criticism of Obama is racist.



Oh that's rich. So what have we learned recently? You can get away with gay slurs, racist comments, insane rhetoric, and lying if the following criteria are met:

1. You are a well known liberal

2. The target is not well thought upon by the Left

3. You're just a comedian, so its ok. Its "art"

4. If it helps demonize the anti-Left, say what you want and need to say
You've picked events that are totally not the same. That's like saying a guppy is the same as a whale. Nice try though.

It's easy...if I'm judging you by your behavior, then don't misbehave.

I hold prominent blacks to a certain standard. In this case, Thurgood Marshall 's standard. That's my right.

And this clown isn't measuring up. Reverse that and I won't call him names.

Til then...@_!#%*¢®€£¿¥!

I don't understand why you can't get that through your heads. It's not racist to call an Uncle Tom an Uncle Tom if he's Tomming.

Whether or not it's appropriate for a white person to say it isn't my concern or my problem. Just don't call ME one. Besides, most whites can't tell the difference anyway. It's not an issue that they need to worry about.
Glad to see you finally came out and told us you're a racist.

Yes it is a racist term. Who the hell are you to decide what's racist and what's not? Uncle Tom is a term to demean certain BLACK people. That alone makes it racist. It is a race based negative term.

You can defend yourself all you want, but you're no better than that team owner. You just think you are because you choose to except that that term is racist.
Apparently that poster is also OK with racist terms as long as they're not directed at him:

He'll most likely just declare in his usual smug and aloof manner that anyone who disagrees with him is an idiot because they disagree with him and then move on.

Clarence Thomas is "blacker" than the fool you voted for twice sitting in the Oval Office.
