Far-Left Democrat Insults Clarence Thomas; Says He "Proposes to be African-American" - Video Report

Democrat Eleanor Holmes-Norton has gone out of her way to insult Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. The far-left Democrat said recently:

"We're not sure this president is ever going to nominate another African-American to the court. [Barack Obama]'s African-American. We've got someone who proposes to be African-American on the court."

So, I guess in Holmes-Norton's world, the only way to be a true African-American is to be a far-Left Democrat? What she said is insulting, and it reflects the attitude of many on the Left. Justice Thomas has served with great distinction on the Supreme Court, and has stayed true to his principles and convictions, rather than conforming to the liberal party-line. That has nothing to do with his race, and everything to do with his character.

You know it’s funny.

Kenyan-born half black Barry O is ‘African American’ while Clarence Thomas is not.

Did the racist mean "purports"?

At least Justice Thomas can speak English.

One of the stock forms on humor on the old “Amos & Andy” radio show was having someone misuse fancy words.

I think Norton was on Amos and Andy. :-)
