The Michael Sam of Science Fiction Has an Opinion on the Supreme Court

July 2, 2015 by V the K

George Takei has an opinion on the qualifications of Justice Clarence Thomas

“He is a clown in blackface sitting on the Supreme Court. He gets me that angry. He doesn’t belong there,” Takei said, later adding, “This man does not belong on the Supreme Court. He is an embarrassment. He is a disgrace to America. I’ll say it on camera.”

Ah, tolerance and enlightenment.

Clarence Thomas grew up in extreme poverty in the segregated south and rose to become an associate justice of the Supreme Court.

George Takei sat next to Walter Koenig pushing buttons and griping that he wasn’t as prominent as William Shatner.

The left considers one of these men worthy of respect and veneration.

    George Takei has little respect for those who disagree with him, delights in poking the eyes of traditionalists, and has a sophomoric sense of humor that relies on poorly-executed snark and the verbal equivalent of blowing raspberries. Thus, he is popular with college students and Millennials who have fried their brain cells with marijuana or drowned them with alcohol.

    One of the requirements for living in a Republic governed by the Rule of Law is a certain (begrudging) respect for the mechanisms of how it works; the ups and the downs. There seems to be a near total breakdown in this today.

    The office of the President isn’t respected, even by it’s occupant.
    Two-bit politicians calling for open defiance of the Courts, when they don’t get their way.
    Activists (and actors) of thin accomplishments disrespecting those who earned High Office through hard worth and intellectual worth; judges, flag officers, elected officials.

    And I can think of five or tens days far-darker for the Republic than this-last June 26th in historical retrospection.

    Being a gay asian liberal means you can be as racist as you want to be without any repercussions.

    Amazing how being a regular with a minor roll on a 1960s-era TV series makes one a person with Important and Deep Thoughts on the passing scene.

    But I’m not really bothered about Takei’s opinions – he’s certainly entitled to have them. What bothers me is a culture that that thinks his opinions are notable just because he’s a B-list (at best) celebrity.

    Takei didn’t just push buttons but worked a stick as well.

    This reminds of when I got banned from a gay bar for “bringing the cops in” after not letting a friend get taken away after being roofied.

    He makes the mistake of thinking his opinion is that of a majority. Takei is in denial & pretends he knows what he’s doing even as many Republican gays do.

    At least he’s actually gay & not pretending to be gay because of some idiotic agenda. I still like him, because he’s not a prude that’s been hiding behind a religion all his life, thinking that he finally found his place in life. Mistaken in thinking people are willing to overlook stupidity.

    He has a sense of humor, doesn’t rant all the time & has been around long enough to know suffering.

    Miss Takei, you had precious little career after Star Trek. You are a mediocre has been actor. Just fade away.

    George Takei votes for the party that put his ancestors in internment camps? Even more than that, the Democrat party put George Takei HIMSELF in a Japanese internment camp during World War II.

    George Takei is as ugly on the inside as he is on the outside. What a pathetic, insecure, little man.

    Meanwhile the Liberal Press and the crazed PC-extremists are going ape-sh*t over the rather-mild remarks by Mr. Trump — if you read his entire comment in the context of the interview. I don’t entirely agree with his assessment, and his awkwardly-phrased, “And some, I assume, are good people.” was in-artful at best. But the hysteria of the Left is overblown and ridiculous in lack of context. Most of the “outraged” quote the hyper-ventilating headlines, not what he actually said.

    Here’s a video in which Takei talks about the internment of himself and his family.

    Many Asians are actually quite racist. This is no surprise.

    He has now apologized. I’ll give him kudos for that at least. Most of the gay Nazi’s won’t.

  16. Just Me says

    But his apology was still of the no apology apology type. And I hate the whole “if a black man doesn’t think the way I think black men should think then he is t really a black man” argument which he makes and does t apologize for. Gay conservatives get the same criticism.

    He also still doesn’t underetand Thomas’ point which is that dignity is inherent and creator given and just because government t declares you a slave or imprisons you they don’t and can’t take away your inherent dignity.

    He must be simple minded if he thinks Thomas said what he things he said.

    Let us accord Takei the Constitutionally protected “right of dignity” for being a Democrat in tune with the party’s long history of fighting and dying to maintain slavery, then establishing the KKK to keep blacks in their place and then suffocating blacks with segregation, miscegenation laws and other Jim Crow legislation, keeping blacks out of the military and herding blacks onto the Democrat planation by promising much while delivering enslaving dependence on the government.

    I saw an excellent documentary on Anita Bryant recently.

    She gets my respect and admiration.

    Boy, the white men in power at the time were real @ssholes to her.

    We’re all different. No one’s opinions should be suppressed:
