This 4th of July is as much a lamentation as a celebration.
I’m not trying to rain on your parade but in a world where the Duke boys are the new KKK, as Captain Sulu gets to call Clarence Thomas a “clown in black face” while hiding behind a “LoveWins” hashtag, we have clearly lost our minds.
But I’m sure George Takei will feel terrible about his mistake once the Star Trek DVDs and scale models of the Enterprise are taken off the shelves—faster than you can say “you will be made to care.”
Wait, what’s that you say? Takei is professor emeritus of the “right side of history”?
My bad, I forgot Bo and Luke and their orange car are micro-aggressions against skinny-jean-wearing Marxists, who would wet themselves if the shadow of Daisy Duke fell upon them.
I must’ve misplaced my Rainbow Jihad/race-baiting cheat sheet, because it says right here in the Starfleet Manual that Takei gets a pass. Maybe even a commendation for stinking thinking. Meanwhile, Justice Thomas will just have to get comfortable being hated for not judging black enough. Because, tolerance.
Takei was not done showing the hateful underbelly of the cult of progressive, though. He decided to transport us to yet another dimension of vile and creepy–doubling-down on the Wrath of Sulu once he was called out for his hate.
On Facebook, Takei condescended that “a few fans have written wondering whether I intended to utter a racist remark by referring to Justice Thomas as a ‘clown in blackface.’ ‘Blackface’ is a lesser-known theatrical term for a white actor who blackens his face to play a black buffoon. In traditional theater lingo, and in my view and intent, that is not racist. It is instead part of a racist history in this country.”
Does Clarence feel better? ‘Buffoon’ means pretty much the same thing, as ‘I’m sorry.’ That’s boldly going where the English language hasn’t gone before—or at least without the help of Chief Justice John Roberts.
It is just history, kids! Maybe if Justice Thomas is really lucky, his next warp drive with Lt. Sulu will include a burning cross on his lawn.
But I have a question. Why does Takei’s claim of “intent” matter at all? The whole progressive playbook requires nothing but a feeling of victimization to make the world bow in respect and admiration. Bruce Jenner feels pretty one day and we all have to clap. A pair of homosexuals wants to put a ring on it, and the florists and the cake bakers need to scramble to make the “public accommodation.”
So if someone feels violated or aggrieved by something Takei said, isn’t that the only thing that matters – intentions be damned? After all, I’m told that’s how white male privilege works. I wake up in the morning, I take my first breath and then I start oppressing people by my very existence.
Good times.
Why then does Takei’s Asian hue preclude him from such a sin? Why does he get a pass? And the answer is…shut up, bigot!
What a land we live in when an Asian man, whose only claim to fame is he was on the b-team of a popular science fiction brand, gets to call one of the most accomplished black men in the history of this nation a slur and somehow blame it on white people.
I see what you did there, Jorge. Can I call you, Jorge? Before we go, I want to make sure we appeal to the Hispanic vote, before they’re allegedly all driven off because Donald Trump agrees with most Americans who are also tired of being Mexico’s dumping ground.
Let freedom ring a-ding-ding, my fellow ding-dongs. Enjoy the crazy this 4th of July while you still can. Oh, but lay off the black face. My male hairdresser, who happens to be a huge Takei fan, says it’s horrible for your complexion this time of year.
Now, where’s my red shirt?
Good stuff !!
Blacks need to pay attention to Mr Sulu. The Gay Card now trumps the (Black) Race Card. And the Latino Card is going to be trumping the (Black) Race Card real soon. Progressivism is devoted to sending the African-Americans back to the fields.
Space Faggie deigns to lecture us Neanderthals with his superior & worldly outlook.
Meh.....
Sorry, Sulu, you really are one of the most disgusting human beings I have ever laid eyes on. I had no idea how disgusting you are until I saw your contribution to the Roast of Captain Kirk. Disgusting doesn’t really approach what your thoughts and words. You are demented, mentally ill, as most are on the racist Left, and even more so on the Gay Wacko Left. The sad part is you will never get the help you need as that is outlawed in California. Only God can save you, but clearly that’s not anything you will voluntarily seek.
I think one PC rule is, if a leftist of any race calls a black conservative all sorts of vile, racist names, that is okay, even mandatory.
To gays, gay is the only thing.
Sulu just removed any respect he had.
Shove it, George...oh, forgot...you already do.
This was the genesis of NASCAR---b/c moonshiners had to out run the revenuers on back roads---they had their cars souped-up.
One day they decided to race each other on a dirt track.....it became a popular venue...and NASCAR was born.
there are no objective standards of behavior anymore only priveleged classes and and hated classes. And all acts are judged from that lens.
Takei is gay so he’s priveleged and Thomas is conservative and therefore part of the hated class.
Thunder Road!
They always want to keep them on the plantation, and many Blacks agree
Bump
Bump.
Mr. Stool-oo... Har!
Wow! This guy is a great writer! I will have to look up more of his work. Sort of a cross between Ann Coulter and Dennis Miller.
Ugly-a$$ takei is an arrogant bastard. He thinks he has moral superiority because he is gay and was interned.
