…that a representative on the floor said “I don’t like so and so because they are married to a so and so.”

Townhall

According to a reporter with the TimesDaily.com, Alabama Democratic Rep. Alvin Holmes allegedly said on the state House floor that he doesn’t like Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas because…he’s married to a white woman. Holmes, for the record, is African-American.

Washington Times

When reached for comment by a reporter for the Anniston Star, Mr. Holmes said he was misinterpreted, but added that Justice Thomas was an “Uncle Tom,” the National Review reported.

“I said some people might say I didn’t like him because he was married to a white woman,” Mr. Holmes told the Anniston Star, before including the “Uncle Tom” addendum.

Just days before Mr. Holmes‘ comment, Justice Thomas told a crowd at Palm Beach Atlantic University in Florida that the “worst things that have been done to me, the worst things that have been said about me, [were] by northern liberal elites, not by the people of Savannah, Georgia,” Yahoo News reported.

    PBAC is a conservative Baptist College in downtown West Palm Beach, FL. Wish I’d known Justice Thomas was speaking there.

    He made those statements on the House floor while they were discussing a land survey bill. He stated that Justice Thomas was a failed surveyor before he went to law school. When he was questioned about his statement about calling Thomas an Uncle Tom and mentioning his interracial marriage during the bill discussion, he said he made the part about Thomas being a failed surveyor up so it would be relevant!! Why is this not a reason for censure?

    I get to thinking I’m a racist sometimes because I despise 99% of black people. Then, when I think about it, I realize that it’s just that what I despise are lefties, and 99% of blacks are lefties.

    So when I read something like this, suddenly I remember that I’m not a racist after all.

    Quite a way to celebrate Black History month by making an offensive racial statement on a State House floor.

    I’m trying to imagine black democrats crying foul.. The democrat party crying for his ouster.
    The congressional black caucus being completely unhinged over this….

    Only problem is my imagination isn’t anywhere near that good.

    Okay, so Thomas is an “Uncle Tom,” but at least he’s not a rude, lying, manipulative, narrow-minded simpleton like Holmes.

    Corky. He can’t be centured because he’s Black. Unlike Justice Thomas, most Blacks are a pretty ignorant lot but must be forgiven because they had a rough row to hoe all their lives, what with slavery and all. They simply hate successful Blacks, not because of the color of their skin but because of the content of their character, and, of course, their success.

    Now, now. Settle down, class. Settle down. The best thing to do at this point is to grab the popcorn, find a comfy chair and safe vantage point and watch the Left implode. The seeds of their own destruction are flowering forth. Ahhhh, spring’s a’coming.

    The novel character Uncle Tom was a hero who died defending his fellow slaves. Anyone calling a man like Thomas an Uncle Tom is a first rate ignorant racist motherfucker.

    grayscape — There seems to be no shortage of ignorance and plain stupidity among their ranks. If they weren’t living off graft and the citizens’ largesse they couldn’t make it out here.

    Amazing that I still remember that Star Trek episode, having seen it only once at age 6-7 when it first broadcast in prime time :) It was confusing and frustrating to a naïve little 6 year old like me, but thought provoking. Like a lot of mid/late 60′s stuff. “What of Lazarus” was the dramatic catch phrase at the end. Episode was titled “The Alternative Factor”.
