Supreme Court kills affirmative action in university admissions

No, it's not. Like I said before, most of the time when a black man is called an "Uncle Tom," it is another black person who is saying it. They clearly mean it as being a "sellout", a "coward" or being a "traitor."

In Harriet Beecher Stowe's book "Uncle Tom's Cabin" ... Uncle Tom was subservient to white people. He wouldn't fight back when he was being unjustly abused.

Jesus… get help.

Basically, I don't think that "Uncle Tom" has a racist component behind it. When Bennie Thompson calls Clarence Thomas an "Uncle Tom" what he is really doing is calling him a traitor. I think that is what it means.

You should have said uncle Thomas.

Great post.

Biden could go on live TV right now and call Justice Thomas the N word and there would not be one piece of backlash from any dem

 

[BowlBrother85]

No racial component. Ok…. So what is he betraying?

I said there is no "racist" component behind it. Of course, it is racial in nature.

Once again, most of the time when a black man is called an "Uncle Tom," it is another black person who is saying it.

How do think Bennie Thompson means it, when he calls Clarence Thomas an "Uncle Tom," which he has done many times over the last 9 years. That CNN interview was from 2014 ... Thompson has been saying that about Thomas ever since. In fact, he said it again just yesterday.

Great post.

“It doesn’t have a racial component, he’s just betraying his race.”

Saying that American Jews should care about Israeli Jews, is not at all the same thing as saying that American Jews owe the country of Israel loyalty.

you didn’t struggle with the wrongness of assuming dual loyalties based on immutable characteristics in this context.

You comprehend the wrongness of what you said and you’re embarrassing yourself trying to rationalize it with this tortured logic.

You were wrong. It’s gross. Full stop.

Take your lumps, and take solace in the fact that people apparently expect better of you because most of the people *****ing on you ignore the same **** from others on this forum, probably in this thread even. Or don’t. I don’t care. Expectations are easily amended.

Pretty much.

He confidently stated that in order to be “black” you must have no doubts regarding him or Trump.

I know we’ve poked fun at him for the comment but think about what he said. Joe Biden went on a popular radio show and told a primarily black audience “If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, you ain’t black!”

Translated: If you are still in a state of critical thinking. If you are using your brain at all in regards to who to cast your vote for, you forfeit your racial identity.

Of course, the D next to his name minimized the blow for such a disgusting comment.

What is he a traitor to?

You figure it out.

Jalen Rose once called black basketball players who go to Duke "Uncle Tom's." What do you think he meant by that?

Hill on Rose's 'Uncle Tom' remark: 'Pathetic'

^^^^ Grant Hill's response. ^^^^

Figure it out? That you were saying he’s traitor to his race?

You said it.

I guess I understand if you want to try and distance yourself from it. But stop doubling down.

 

[McDad]

So, you think that Bennie Thompson has a racial prejudice against Clarence Thomas? I will once again point out that Bennie Thompson is also black.

What I actually think is the more you dig in your heels on this idiocy, the worse you look. You should have just taken your lumps today and moved on.

Now, you may think you're good using Uncle Tom against CJT, because some black gentleman paved the way. But you and I know there are some words okay in one community and not in another.

I agree with that, and I admit that I shouldn't have said it ... and I'm going to drop this subject, but just answer one question :

Honestly and candidly, I think racial pejoratives define the person using them more than the person getting them.

Jalen Rose? Who cares what Jalen Rose thought.

I’m betting Unc** T** wasn’t the only name Jalen Rose called Grant Hill.

Why don’t you co-opt some of those?

I've been called racist names by black people. Honestly, I felt badly for them.

This is where we will have to agree to disagree :

The unfair treatment of black students seeking a quality education still exists. They are in a system which is still tilted against them. They do not have equal opportunity with other races in this country. They never have. AA was an attempt to level the field.

If you don't agree with that? That's fine. You can put me on ignore. It won't hurt my feelings at all. I don't think I have even seen you in this forum before ... until yesterday.

The only thing that still "exists" is democrat monopolies in areas of high minority population.

 

[85SugarVol]

I realize what your point was. That AA was a bridge from Brown to Today. I get it.

I used your post to make a different point. A point about Supreme Court precedent, and when it matters. Get it?

Here BB - I’ll throw you a lifeline.

Tell us when Supreme Court precedent is sacred, and when it is not.

 

[vols40]

I will stop you there, because although it is a harsh thing to say about a black man, I do not believe it is racist.

Please watch this video from CNN in 2014 below.

Rep. Bennie Thompson has been calling Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an "Uncle Tom" for many years ... Obviously, Rep. Bennie Thompson is black.

And "Uncle Ben" Thompson is a race hustler

Probably told this story on here before. But when I was little, like 3rd grade or so, the Hispanic kids in the neighborhood called me BullHonky. I just figured they liked me enough to give me a nickname. Good times.

That Jalen Rose is a freaking crybaby loser who had his best chance at an NCAA basketball championship ruined by a player who lacked the most basic situational awareness at the end of the biggest game of the year?
