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’s dead to me, Jim.
I read the post and he said he “owed an apology” I didn’t read that he actually apologized.
All George needs to do now is endorse Trump for President.
Even though Trump isn’t running for President.
It’s worse than that, Jim!
Worse, Bones? How could he worse than dead?
Jim, his brain is missing!
Missing?!
Yes, It’s been somehow liberally obliterated!
this just in
Takei still ....a”clown in happyface”
Now that they’ve have become SCROTUS’s favorite sons, the homosexual thugs are really feeling their oats. Typical Nazi BS.
Trump is doing conservative blackface.
Of course Takei used his WW2 internment in his sorry apology.
My mother was in the same camp as him. She never used WW2 internment as an excuse for bad behavior.
That’s not bad. A version of Manhattan Mammy if you will.
He’s hurting the Star Trek franchise when he says nasty things like that.
It’s not an apology when you call him a “fake black”
What's more forgetabble than a bit player?
And a delusional brain addled pervert to boot!
I wonder what Takei would look like in black face?
YCKMA George.
What would Sulu consider to be "real black"? Rachel Dolezal?
George Takei true self was revealed.
He’s a liberal.
“...abdicated and abandoned his heritage,”
So historically blacks are pro gay marriage?
