Still an unacceptable racist comment, regardless of generation.

Still an unacceptable racist comment, regardless of generation.
Don't forget that George Takei was imprisoned with his family simply because of their race during the Japanese Internment. George Takei witnessed his father lose his dignity while he lost everything else, his home, his business, his ability to operate as a free individual and to support his family.
George Takei recognized and called Clarence Thomas out for carrying water for those that would oppress him and people like him.

George is from my parents generation, thus the black-face comment. If he had been younger he would have called him an oreo. Black on the outside, white on the inside.
Still an unacceptable racist comment, regardless of generation.
Doesn't make the comment any less racist.
He's just calling as he sees it and, no, I don't see it as racist. He slammed Sir Judge for demeaning the experience of Blacks. That's stand up.
What if...
I don't deal in "what if's". "What if's" are for people without a leg to stand on.
Unless liberals are excused from all behavior that conservatives are excoriated for simply because they are conservatives.
Tired chestnut. These "conservatives" have got to crawl down off their crosses. Martyrdom went out style a long time ago.
You never responded to the basic question.
Yes I did. You just ignored it again:

So that makes it ok to slam a prominent black leader in the US
with a racist and bigoted remark?
That it is ok for a liberal to be racist simply because they are a liberal, because you agree with their politics and their ideas, so that means no one can call them out on racist or bigoted behavior.

This "what if" is crucial to proving my assertion that extreme hypocrisy is at work here.

If anyone has the right call this SCOTUS judge out as an ignorant, hypocritical bigot for his statement about slavery and the interned Japanese men and women, it's George Takei.

Yeah, I know but I prefer to deal with facts.

It is my opinion, and I could very well be wrong.
That to refuse to address a comparable action
is in conflict with your own feelings
that maybe, just maybe
to support Takai in calling Thomas "a clown in white face"
may be hypocritical
to your basic values of equality and fairness.

people call conservatives racist but when someone comes out and really says something racist, because they are liberal, they are defended......

Clarence Thomas has been making black people sick since the day they put him on the court
As well any other downtrodden political underdog like gays.

IT'S NOT RACIST! George was saying that Thomas was demeaning Black people past. He's RIGHT! And added his own experience to nail the point home.

Get past the partisan crap then. See the logic. It's better than Gravol.

Oh, so you're a racist too. Noted.
Let's be honest. The ONLY reason you attempt to justify Takei is because you agree with him and don't agree with Thomas. There is no other reason.

So basically, you think the sole worth of an individual is in the hands of others?
What a very sad and insecure you must lead. Are you a product of the empty self-esteem movement?

Fascinating.
What I see people saying here is:
It's ok to say an extremely racist thing if you are liberal
and directing it to a conservative.

This Takei clown should be being drawn and quartered across all forms of media for what he said, but the controllers of said media won't attack a good little sheeple individual who is following the agenda as intended.
