Bah, humbug. Takei crossed a line, got spanked (probably loved it!) and is making a token non-apology.
As I read the opinion by Thomas, he was saying that even in these more horrible circumstances (slavery and internment) the people involved maintained, or at least had the potential to maintain, their dignity. Because that dignity was inherent to being human.
I’m still unclear why Takei and other object to this POV.
Perhaps it’s because it’s the concept behind Uncle Tom’s Cabin, in which Tom is shown as having great dignity even as he’s being tortured to death.
BTW, internment, while a violation of civil rights, was orders of magnitude less horrific than slavery.
He claims he lashed out at Clarence Thomas in the heat of anger.....after he had just gotten what he wanted.
This suggests - as if it weren’t already obvious - that legal enforcement of homosexual “marriage” isn’t what they want. What they want is the elimination of anyone who disagrees with them in any way.
I wonder if Takei was molested at Gila River. Their living conditions were not good. Curtains separated families from one another. I hadn’t thought about it until the last few days.
"George, life is hard. It's harder when you're stupid."
“intellectually honest liberal”
This is an oxymoron.
If one is “intellectually honest”, one is NOT liberal!!!
He’s an evil racist pig. End of story.
there is no such thing as an honest Liberal.
Wonder how Takei would feel if someone called him a queen in yellow face?
That would be ugly so I won’t do it.
Gooks in the wire...
It’s a shame that reading comprehension on FR is so pow.
So, the mental midget Takei is lumping together: his “victimhood” in being interned as a child in WWII for the security on the west coast of the US vs. a potential 5th column (like it or not—one existed) AND his being a queer. He berates another “victim” class member who is a Supreme Court justice, because he does NOT participate in the victimhood whiner’s brigade.
The property crimes against Nisei are documented, and— have been compensated demonstrably to those who were injured. This is providing fodder to the “reparations” crowd who are still trying to get a pay off for being black— unprovably descended from slaves (hint: not all blacks in the US are of slave descent and somehow due money from ALL Americans because of slavery).
What an outright propaganda piece.
Steve, perhaps you didn’t notice but Robertson is correct in his NOT poorly chosen words. There is NO racial or made up word ‘Homophobic’ aspect to them.
Sulu flat out went to the the worst black ‘black’ trigger this side of the word ‘nigger’. And he did it because as a liberal, he is anklebitting the ‘Uncle Tom’ as libs see Thomas, to discredit him in any way possible. To add to the body of liberal work that has already come before and reinforce it.
This was Alynski by the book.
It’s a shame that reading comprehension on FR is so low.
So, is lifeofgrace the same as steve berman. Pimping his blog? This is an apology for what Takei clearly believes, along with him being a pervo of the newly empowered queers who think they can rule the majority with their unbalanced self-indulgence and hatred.
I guarantee Takei did not read a single word of Thomas’ writings. He took what he heard from Daily Cus and ran with it.
Real conservatives expect it. It would be nice if faux conservatives would really get angry now and then. Anger can motivate push back. Real conservatives could use some mercenary allies in push back efforts.
