George Takei called Thomas a "clown in blackface" following the justice's dissent in last week's landmark same-sex marriage ruling.
Star Trek legend George Takei has apologized for calling Clarence Thomas a "clown in blackface" following the Supreme Court justice's dissent in last week's landmark same-sex marriage ruling, according to CNN.
"I was still seething, and I referred to him as a 'clown in blackface' to suggest that he had abdicated and abandoned his heritage," Takei wrote Friday in a Facebook post. "This was not intended to be racist, but rather to evoke a history of racism in the theatrical arts. While I continue to disagree with Justice Thomas, the words I chose, said in the heat of anger, were not carefully considered."
The incident began after last week's Supreme Court's same-sex marriage ruling, when Thomas, one of four dissenting justices, wrote that denying gays and lesbians the right to marry is not denying them of their dignity, the report says.

He just might!
Mischaracterizing Thomas’ remarks does not an apology make.
So, besides this guy, just how many of those Star Trek actors are screaming faggots?
Takei can't even do a Japanese accent. He's a fake asian.
20 years ago I saw him at a personal appearance at a film festival and he said that he didn’t have bad experiences (apart from relocation) with the internment. He’s been trotting it out lately.
He “survived” the camps. How many Japanese didn’t survive them?
France locked up German veterans as war raged in Europe.
Sometimes it isn’t about race.
He's a clown in yellow-face.
“Captain, the shields have failed and I think I just ejected my Warp (Brain) core”
There are few things more pathetic than old queen. When he farts, he whistles like the worn-out muffler on a VW Beetle.
He says he owes an apology, but he never makes it. He did not apologize to anyone, especially not Clarence Thomas.
George Takei has become the Jimmy Carter figure of the original trek team. Someone you wish to step away from, and maintain that distance. He has the opposite of charisma and charm.
Buddaheads visited Rohwer Relocation Camp too.

He was last seen heading for Uranus.
So George has come out of the closet... as a bigoted racist.
The cat's out of the bag. Too late to take it back.
No apology or contrition in his statement. Still a hater.
Best comment on the thread. I hurt myself laughing
