I bet that if this were a newspaper with even a slight conservative slant that the media would be all over it.

This is the first time that I have every heard of anyone being excluded from an ethnic group because of what they think. I'm not black, but I would be deeply insulted by some lily white editor telling me what "your people" are supposed to think. Is there any other ethnic group that is required to think in a certain way? Why doesn't the black community rise up in anger against such suggestions?

The real insult in this is that for Justice Thomas to be considered a real black man he has to believe in:

Affirmative Action (racial discrimination)
Abortion (something that has decimated the black community)
Gun Control (something used to keep blacks defenseless in the Klan era)
The need for government to be responsible for people's lives
To behave like a house Negro for all the white folk who made him what he is.......

Yuck

How does a man on the Supreme Court 'lessen the nations diversity?' the country is STILL just as diverse as before.

I think the editors* deserve their own asterisk, they might be from this planet or not
