He's just a man - you're the one who's bringing up the race crap.
He's far more intelligent and important than you or any of your

I am curious. What do you think of black conservatives in general?
What do you think of African Americans who have chosen to adopt the
general middle class values of traditional America and live in
communities that are not located in the inner cities; communities that
have good schools in which they might raise their children to be
educated, articulate, and productive citizens. What about JC Watts (one
of my personal heroes), what do you think of him?

Well, you obviously know more about Mr. Thomas than I, and probably most
in this group, and no doubt most of his friends and associates, and
perhaps more than his family members, ex-wife and father-in-law, all of
whom with the exception of the members of this group think him an
exemplary human being. And that's the really impressive thing about Judge
Thomas as I see it: no matter how far back you go in his history the only
person who has anything negative to say about him is Anita Hill. No one
else. Not school-mates, bosses, subordinates, school teachers, no one but
Anita Hill, a woman whose reputation among those she came in contact with
is just the opposite of Clarence Thomas'. Only Anita Hill, and even she
readily admits on one person helped her more with her career than he.
Thus we can only assume you are privy to information none here have yet
come to know. Hopefully, rather than continuing to call Judge Thomas a
nigger and licker of white assholes, you'll be as fair enough to include
said information in your next post. Please do that, you stupid ape.

I believe Anita Hill and I believe America has better than Justice
Thomas. Furthermore, My main gripe with Justice Thomas is that he
has benefitted from Affirmative Action and now is one of America's
biggest opponents. Hypocrisy in a Supreme Court Justice is
intolerable. America could do better.

Speaking of black conservatives, what's your opinion of
Louis Farrakhan?
David, I can believe it. Since Clarence Thomas has been on the Supreme
Court
he has been known more for what he has NOT done than for what he has
done.
Since being on the court he has NOT often articulated his opinion, he
has
NOT voted against Scalia except in defense of CHILD PORNOGRAPHY, and he
has
NOT taken any opportunity to prove to anyone that he has his own mind.
One other thing, a lot of people posting in this thread have tried to
make a big
deal out of the fact that most black people, and most black
orginizations such
as then NAACP do not think much of Clarence Thomas. Do you all think
that someone
has to be supported by the black community just because they are black?
Should all
white people support David Duke just because he is white? Should all
Jewish people
ascribe to the views of Karl Marx just because he was Jewish? And no, I
don't
dislike Clarence Thomas simply because he is a conservative. I dislike
Clarence
Thomas 1) because I think he lacks integrity and 2) because I strongly
disagree with
him on issues that are important to me. I DO support black conservative
Colin Powell
whom I might have voted for even if he had run as a republican.
However, I can find
no reason to question Colin Powell's integrity, and he is much closer to
me on the
issues (affirmative action, abortion rights, TRUE welfare reform ect)
than Clarence
Thomas.

So Jerome,
Although this is off the topic line, let's go at this a different
way. On politics we know we disagree, but we tend to agree on many
other fronts. Why don't we attempt to try to find out what we agree
on, you being a black conservative and me being a black liberal. For
instance, I know we both believe that there should be some kind of
moral standard to live by. We both believe that real criminals should
be put away for a long time. We both believe that there should be
full racial equality, and also believe that it hasn't been achieved
yet. We both hope that more and more blacks will achieve greater and
greater things, so that we don't have to read much of the bigoted
dogma attached to all blacks by those who wish to pontificate upon
blacks as a race instead of some individuals. I think the only thing
we really disagree on is how to get there. Am I wrong?

Not true, for the most part. Are you having difficulty with STANDARD
english, Sam? Several people said they didn't think much of Watts
and they also said that in order to be a middle class black person
living in the type neighborhood she describes, you do not have to
subscribe to the beliefs of either Watts or Thomas. Both of you (regardless
of what color you are) seem to be stuck on the theme that in order
to be successful as a black person, you have to be a conservative.
It ain't so. It was NOT conservative blacks holding an honorary white
boy card that pushed civil rights forward. Quite the contrary. It's those
people who get labeled "liberal" like it was a dirty word who did it.
And back in the old days before the end of the Cold War, they were
called "communists." It's the conservatives who try to undo what has
been done. Uncle Thomas is a wonderful example.

You are a bold faced liar.
Not only that, but any black person who honestly believed the shit

As I wrote before, most blacks *ARE* middle class. That *FACT* alone
blows a whole in the garbage she wrote.

Ms. Xona seems incapable of posting an argument without making a number
of profane attacks against those newsgroup members who disagree with
her. She has the same problem when attacking public figures.
But I guess that's what you've got to do when you are incapable of
making a coherent argument. As a result I don't usually read her posts
anymore. They are obviously not designed to provoke an intellectually
honest debate. They aren't even clever insults.

Good show, Mr. Adams, so refreshing watching one of these Al Sharpton
wannabees getting their chowder head clobbered all over the place, and as
you have so thoroughly demonstrated it isn't at all that difficult. The
weapon of choice -- fact, for time and time again we see when it comes to
Thomas, innuendo, misdirection, and down-right ignorance is their stock in
trade. Their fearless leader Al Sharpton says we must march against
Thomas, gives them a bunch of double-talk of the type you totally
demolish above, and the chowderheads are out in force hounding the poor
man to death.

Why don't you do that study you're talking about? I think that would be
most
enlightening.
Not being a politico I admit I know little of why folks get so testy when
the name Clarence Thomas comes up. However, one thing I do know is that
the process of dehumanizing the man is identical to what racists did to
black men for the longest. It's also interesting to note that now in the
bundle of charges his detractors level at him the charge of sexual
harasser a la Anita Hill is no longer on top of the list. My theory about
this is, folks -- the stupid ones -- have now had enough time to realize
how unfair they were towards the man with this particular charge. Anita
Hill presented not a shred of evidence, clearly her fundamental case
against him was "Who you gonna believe -- me a classy black fox, or, him,
short, homely-looking darkskin man (blacker than me!) married to a white
woman? Meanwhile black America still thinks Marion Barry is innocent
no matter the videos, and that OJ Simpson was in bed watching the Disney
channel when Nicole and Ron were butchered. Yeah, so what happened along
the line, I think, is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson called each other up
and got it together:
JESSE
"Shit, Al, you know we look a little shaky pointing the finger
at Judge Thomas over Anita while not coming down on Marion
and OJ."
SHARPTON
Yeah, Jesse, I was thinking about that shit myself, it is a little
inconsistent. Fuck it, let's come down on everybody then --
n except ourselves, or course."
JESSE
Uh-uh, man, nah, we can't do that. Why, then we'd have to come
down on Ben Chavis, Winnie Mandela, Don King, those Ford brothers
in Tennessee, half the brothers in the NFL and NBA, Ron Brown,
Mike Tyson, Idi Amin, the Wayan brothers, Vanessa Williams, Rue
Paul and the Rodman fella who plays basketball. In other words,
there'd be no end to it."
SHARPTON
Yeah, I hear what you're saying Jesse, and I can dig it, but what
I'm not so clear on is why Clarence Thomas? Why he got to be the
one?
JESSE
Why? What? You wanna take his place you big, fat ignorant mudder
fucker?
SHARPTON
Hey, a simple yes or no would have sufficed, and I ain't gonna be
all them mudder fuckers, bitch.
Anyway, the point here is this business of going around saying "Judge
Thomas is trying to undo all we've accomplished through the Civil Rights
movement" is the kind of demogoguery that has long lulled blacks into
incredible acts of stupidity, the demonization of Thomas being only one.
Obviously, Thomas has a profoundly well-thought out explanation for his
voting record. The problem? It simply doesn't mesh with the throw money
at it, quick fix pork barrel thinking of the race-hustlers and
anit-poverty pimps. Think about it, if
we hadn't squander so much money on Welfare half those crack-smoking
mad-dog niggas choking the life out of our urban centers today would not
have ever been born.
Yeah, this is the kind of shit Judge Thomas wants to bring to a screeching
halt, and you know, I for one, am all for it.

I beg to differ on that one. There were people who looked at his
limited
judicial experience as a complaint. Here's a quote from the editor of
time
in Oct. 91. You may disagree with his conclusion, but the fact remains
that
people were taking shots at Thomas' qualifications as well as his views.
By the way, conservatives have done the same thing will Bill Clinton's
nominees for certain posts, that is attacking someone's views instead of
his/her qualifications. Remember the Loni Guanier nomination?
It's Bush's Fault
"The spectacle, however, really began with Mr. Bush's choice of
Judge Thomas
who, for all his virtues, was no more qualified for the Court than
Dan Quayle was
to be Vice President.... "But it was Mr. Bush who carried politics
too far. By
trying to pack the Court with conservatives and by seeking to
predetermine
rulings on the most important issues before the nation, he robbed
would be
justices of their protective dignity and the Court of if its
judicial impartiality and
majesty. He took the Court into the political pit and,
predictably, ignited an ugly
political brawl. For justice now, he must be made to choose
another Justice." --

No, you are correct.
To go directly to the core of the issue: There is no one way to start
to correct many of the problems that exist in the black community. However,
some of the current ways are not working, and can be shown to be a
failure. Even though it was supported in the past by black civil rights
leaders, we have to admit whas is not working, and try something else.
So, we should look at all possible solutions, and address them
logically, not emotionally. I believe more solutions can be found using
teh conservative model, and I know that many blacks agree with many
conservative principles. The only thing holding back conservative solutions
is the tag conservative.
Note follow-up. Enough of this spam.

I don't know what you mean by "pc-orthodoxy" (and I doubt you do,
either), but my sentiments against Clarence Thomas stem from his behavior
throughout the entire confirmation hearings. No, not the part most of
you saw, "The Anita Hill Show". I watched the hearings from gavel to
gavel. Clarence Thomas is a mendacious, sycophantic, butt-licking,
hypocritical, self-serving traitor. Not a traitor to blacks, but to all
American citizens. He gave every indication during the confirmation
hearings that he would do anything and say anything to get what he wants
for Clarence Thomas and his handlers.
As someone previously pointed out, he denied having ever discussed Roe v.
Wade. Yarite. He also denied ever hearing about or discussion benchmark
anti-trust and interstate commerce cases. That alone should have
rendered him unqualified for the Supreme Court, and I had nothing but
disgust for him from that point. (This happened during Day 2 of the
hearings. Sheeesh...where could he go from there?)
Mycroft (I think) said Clarence Thomas is being held up as a litmus test
to all Black Americans as to the measure of worth of the Blacks.
Clarence Thomas was nominated as a highly cynical gesture to "appease"
Blacks while appeasing the most conservative and anti-minority forces in
the U.S. at the time. And there were many, and they were in power.
Well, mark me down as not passing that litmus test. Of all of the
conservative Black jurists in the United States, certainly there was
someone more qualified than Clarence Thomas, someone with more integrity
than he (which would have been just about anyone).
Notice that none of my criticisms have to do with "pc-orthodoxy"
...whatever that is, or his being (arguably) Black and his supposed role
in representing Black interests. It is about integrity. Clarence Thomas
has none that I've seen. His politics aside, he never deserved that
position on the Supreme Court, and he will never earn my respect for his
position. His role, in my opinion, is not to represent Black Americans,
but to uphold the law with honesty and diligence. He has not indicated
that he can do this.

The poor victim of the liberal/feminist/wicca cabal does, nonetheless,
have a life time appointment to the "negro" seat on the Supreme Court via
affirmative action, GOP/Nixon style. When are the Thomas defenders going
to post some of his great rulings supporting the struggles of blacks here
in the usa.

Give me a break. I'm sure that coke & porn swilling Thomas wanted Anita
real bad, probably at least as much as Clinton wanted Jennifer Flowers.
Too bad Anita Hill didn't want him, so he got a little lewd. There was
plenty of evidence, at least as much as any of the recent sex scandals
(i.e. Flowers, Paula Jones, Dick Morris, etc, etc...)
>Meanwhile black America still thinks Marion Barry is innocent

That's your mass media mediated interpetation of what some blacks believe. The
Lucy Parsons Gun Club believes OJ killed Nicole and that Fuhrman may have
planted evidence. OJ simply proves class is now more important than race,
i.e. even a black man , one rich enough, can buy the kind of legal help to
expoit the prosecution & police weaknesses. Claus Van Bulow, W.
kennedy-Smith, now OJ: the rich always have the advantage compared to the
poor defendant, even a black man.

Guilt by association. Why Are going to mention Idi Amin, mass murdering
dictator of Uganda with Dennis Rodman and Vanessa Williams, two african
americans who have succeded in the marketplace just like you
"conservatives" are always suggesting to do? What is the point? Cross

What is his "profoundly well-thought out explanation for his
voting record." I'd like to hear in articulated.
Stuff about crack and crime in the black communities sipped...

How? By abridging peoples rights under the bill of rights? Allowing the
police more powers to search and detain people? How exactly will he bring
this to a halt? Roadblocks in the ghettos, searches of all cars in/out
for contraband? How and at what price?
Hey, pal, the cite you include above is just an opinion not a reasoned
assertion backed by hard evidence. Allow me to explain...
Like you, the author argues Thomas was "unqualified." Like you, he
provides not an iota of evidence, which prompts the question "Is objective
evidence possible?"
Of course it it is. Take for example his time on the bench before the
nomination. A simple measurement here, right? We take the days, months,
years, on the bench and compare this to his peers' past and present. Mind
you, if we're really clever we understand the real question herein is how
much time did the really great Supreme Court judges have on the bench?
That's right! Was Justice Black great? Did he have more or less time on
the bench than Judge Thomas? See what I'm getting at here, Clyde?
Anyway, bottom-line -- no correlation between amount of time on the bench
and greatness as Supreme Court judge. Judge Thomas had more than some,
less than others and by no means is at the bottom of the heap in this
category.
So,
Next category he's supposed to be "unqualified" in, please....?

I don't know. They seem about as clever as most of the reactionary
vomit that pollutes these newsgroups. And they have the wonderful
effect of making vicious conservatives suddenly sit up straight and
start pouting about dignity and "arguments," as if they had any of
either, and as if their despicable political program were anything
more than an outright attack on civilization and decency. I certainly
can't speak for Xona, but I can tell you what I think of black
conservatives: it's what I think of any conservatives. They're
reprehensible exploitative bastards, and come the revolution, they go
up against the wall with everybody else.
And as for "honest debate," Ms. Bakke, you've certainly gotten things
off to an auspicious start by equating "conservative" with people "who
have chosen to adopt the general middle class values of traditional
America and live in communities that are not located in the inner
cities; communities that have good schools in which they might raise
their children to be educated, articulate, and productive citizens."
Let's try some of your honesty in the other direction. What do you
think of conservatives in general (to leave your racist
presuppositions behind), that is, what do you think of people who have
chosen to adopt a mask of fictious traditions to cover their greed and
narrow-minded resentments and to live in anti-social exclusivity in
order to reap the benefits of a grossly unjust productive order
without accepting even the smallest responsibility for dealing with
the fallout from it, and who raise their kids to be bigoted,
repulsive, irresponsible fuckheads like themselves? Me, I don't like
'em. But hey, I'm just one man.
Personally, I think Xona's too good for you. It's just her language
that's obscene, but it's your entire ethics.

What is wrong with a black person, after being strongly acquinted with
the process of affirmative action, and after simply reviewing the
situtation, who then comes to the conclusion that it just does not work
very well? What is wrong with liberals in this matter? Are they
embarassed that a black person made it to the U. S. Supreme court on his
own merits and now does not fit some liberal stereotpe? Should Mr Thomas
dance on a string like some Marxist pupet?
I think the left wing is too preoccupied with political correctness.
They apparently wish that many persons that should fit some narrow
stereotype, because the liberals worked hard for this, and hence conform
to some predifined political animal resembling a drooling toadie. Are
liberals burned that Mr. Thomas is an independent thinker? Independent
thought signals the death of liberalism.

Why does he not "deserve" the position?
Clinton is a bold faced liar and look at the position he obtained.
Will the NAACP make up for the money that will be lost?
Hey "pal" you obviously clipped most of the original message from
Richard and from
me and you apparently didn't read it, or were incapable of understanding
it. Richard
said that none of the attacks on Clarence Thomas were about his
qualifications.
I simply showed him of an attack on Thomas that was about his
qualifications. Maybe
you missed the statement I made about "you may not agree with this
statement" but
I'll repeat it for you and maybe you'll get it this time.
Maybe you don't agree with this attack that was made about Clarence
Thomas, and
maybe you think it was unfair or couldn't be backed up. But even you
HAVE to admit
that it was an attack and it was made on his qualifications. That is
enough to
contradict Richard's original statement. I suppose I could do research
on Thomas'
qualifications, but that was not the point of Richard's first statement,
nor was it
the point of my reply. Try next time to understand the post before
responding to it.
In article <5ben18$3...@panix.com>,
Sheeesh, Jerome. What part of my post did you not understand and/or read? I
said precisely why Clarence Thomas did not deserve the position. He said he'd
never discussed and/or heard of key Supreme Court decisions. This in no way
compares to what you believe Clinton did or did not lie about. It would seem
that a Supreme Court Justice should be held to a much higher standard of
integrity and knowledge than does a President. At least we have the opportunity
to get rid of Presidents. We're stuck with this dolt until he retires or dies.
Note that I specifically did not use his politics in my reasons for disgust for
him.

You're a blackguard and an utter idiot.
What is so scary about the attitude of many balck americans (not all,
mabye not even a majority). is how if a black man/women does not fit their
measure of being BLACK they are a sellout.
When i attended high school in buffalo ny i had a friend named Dave,
he was extreamly smart, articulate, and driven. grant it his dress, walk,
talk ect. were not the STERIOTYPICAL way an african american would dress,
walk..
For this he was called a sellout by a good portion of hte black
studant body, some of whom lived in a much more middle/uperclass
neiborhood then my friend. so much my people (whites) are told we should
not assume anything by the way a man presents himself, it does not mean he
is a criminal or a doctor.
what the african american community is doing is isolating itself from
its successful members.
C'apn
In spite of the protestations of the National Organization of Liberal
Women to the contrary, yes he's there alrighty. Also, we now prefer
not to call it the "negro seat" but rather the "conservative seat"
because, being conservatives, we don't think of people in terms of
skin color first as liberals (and you just proved it again) do.

Evidence? You mean where if the woman is a liberal and she is attacking
a conservative in a "her word against his" argument then that constitutes
evidence? Of course, should a woman attack a liberal like Bill Clinton
and have *real* evidence such as that of troopers who recall bringing her
to Bill "schwiiing!" Clinton then that would not constitute evidence.
Face it, Ms Hill made a political calculation to bring down Thomas. Her
past behavior with Thomas as a close friend *after* the alleged incident
notwithstanding, she had zero evidence but that didn't hurt her credibility
with the NOW gang or liberals. Now that the shoe is on the other foot it
is entirely amusing to watch people like Susan Estrich squirm and ration-
alize the defense of Clinton in public.
Then again, with a "leader" like Clinton what kind of *principled* stand
can one expect from the troops?

Right on. God forbid that these kids might get exposed to the marketplace
of ideas.
I mean it's not as if Justice Thomas is the most powerful and influential
Black man in judicial America or anything.
After all, a woman said that he told her a dirty joke once. And we all
know that he attended a college that had an AA policy.
What a hypocrite.

You know, I grew up in the South and expect a certain amount of respect
and decency in conversations, especially from men in response to women.
If you disagree with me, disagree with me. But it does not really help
your argument much to accuse me of raising my children in an unethical
manner and use foul insults and the label of 'racist' to describe me.
I would love to know what personal knowledge you have about me by which
you justify such a personal attack.
I would also love to hear an honest presentation of your ideas, and I
would love for you to critique mine according to your presumptions about
economic relations in society. But you don't do your cause much justice
by going off on an emotional explosion of anger and irrationality. I
certainly wouldn't want you to be a messengers of any ideas I hold dear.
In short, if you have a point make it. Your attacks make you look like
a fool...and a rude one at that!

I suppose "queeg" is a pretty devastating riposte in your quaint

"liberal"? If it means someone you don't like cuz he's smarter than
you, well, guilty as charged. If it means some lukewarm reformist
Democrat, then, in the words of Your Lord: "So then because thou art
lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth."

You also think the word "queeg" is pretty cool, so we've got a fairly
good idea of your taste in these matters. And why aren't I surprised
that you don't know how to use the word "society"? As if there's only
one possible society, the one we now live in, and so contributing to
it is the only sensible thing to do. But you miss the point here,
John-John. (I bet you hear that a lot, don't you.) We're talking about
changing society, not contributing to it. Even your pudgy little Newt

Ms. Bakke, I have read a number of your posts on this newgroup
(alt.politics.radical-left), and I have to say I appreciate your
measured tones and intelligent diction, even though I find your views
abhorent. I was raised in the North, where a cultivated demeanor and a
traditional presumption of feminine gentility have long since been
corroded by the imperatives of industrial capitalism. But my dear
father (who, as you can imagine, disagrees with my politics), is a
Southerner born and bred, and I am delighted to learn that you, too,
hail from that noble (though oh so misguided) part of the country.
Please accept my apologies for any personal disagreeableness that may
have arisen in the course of our electronic interchange.
There is a difference between personal ethics and political ethics.
Many conservatives have a relatively unobjectionable commitment to
such values as individual responsibility, respect for the human body,
preservation of the institutional achievements of their forebears,
etc. Oddly enough, these personal ethical commitments somehow become
translated into support for a political program of unabashed
viciousness, a set of policies with quite predictable outcomes that
would revolt them if they happened to destroy the children of someone
that they loved. Diagnosing this strange translation is a difficult
matter, which I will leave for a future time. But the distinction here
is analogous to the difference in military ethics between those
virtues that bring coherence to any army, and those principles for
which it is in fact engaged in the field. Courage, self-sacrifice,
endurance, mercy, loyalty, humility, are the stock in trade of the
soldier, and there is really nothing to say against them. But the fact
that these virtues structure military service does not tell us whether
the war the soldiers are fighting is moral. The Nazis, to take an
egregious example, exhibited plenty of bravery and self-sacrifice, but
the cause for which they were fighting was nonetheless (as I am quite
sure you agree), utterly reprehensible. (And no, I am not equating
American conservatism with Nazism, I am illustrating a distinction
with an example of particular clarity.)
What this means is that conservatives can be thoroughly decent people
at the personal level, (and I suspect that this describes you, Ms.
Bakke), while nonetheless contributing to a political program of moral
depravity. One judges personal ethics in terms of what a person
intends. But one judges political ethics in terms of what effects a
program has or can reasonably be predicted to have. (Moral
philosophers, ever fond of obscure terminology, speak of the
difference between deontological and consequentialist ethical systems.
But the distinction is relatively intuitive.) Now, I would be the
first to admit that in the heat of debate, this distinction gets
blurred, and rhetorical bolts hurled at policy and its defenders seem
to strike at the personal attitudes of the opponent. Such are the
hazards of eristic engagement. But it is perhaps not entirely
pointless to take a calmer moment to make the distinction clear.
Moreover, in my previous attack, I was not even pretending to give an
untendentious description of conservatives. I was trying to point out
that your description had already weighed the debate unacceptably in
your favor by depicting conservative commitments in the whitewashed
manner you did. My slanderous portrayal is simply the mirror image of
your hagiography. A real debate would have to leave both these biases
behind.
I have little hope of ever swaying you (or anyone else) to my
particular brand of radical politics. But I do find this, in your
case, regrettable, because you seem to take these matters seriously
and to want to do the right thing. So many of your comrades-in-arms
are mere mouthpieces for unfocused frustration and embittered
resentment, at best evidence of how easy it is to surrender to
misanthropy and prejudice. You may take some slight satisfaction,
perhaps, in knowing that for me there is nothing more depressing than
an intelligent conservative, because if intelligence is not enough to
reveal to them the threadbare ghastliness of that philosophy, it is
hard to see what could. In any case, I do indeed tip my metaphorical
hat to a decent woman of Southern breeding, whatever her politics, and
wish her and her family a long, happy, and prosperous life.
Now, back into the fray!

My oh my! Not only are you a liberal, Xona, but you're also a racist.
I've been told time and again that liberals can't be racists, what a
relief to find out that supposition is false!
So Thomas and Simpson, being black, are supposed to *segregate* them-
selves (aka. celebrate their diversity by remaining homogenous by
skin color). You no doubt think of yourself as quite enlightened,
being a substitute teacher and all, yet the more you write the more
we learn about you. Now we learn that you think of the country in
terms of black and white worlds and who belongs in each.
Amazing... just because you don't wear a sheet doesn't mean you aren't

PS. Since you are a substitute school teacher I feel it only fair to
warn you that you should use "women" in the context you were using.
Also, the word you meant to use is "moron" not "mornons".

You hate-filled, schizophrenic adder. And it's a wonder you don't choke on
your own venom. And what in God's name are you talking about anyway, you
hissing Hydra? Everyone, Democrat/Republican alike agree Thomas handled
himself remarkably well during the hearings, in fact, this is precisely
why they introduced Anita Hill -- Thomas was doing too good!

Boy, subtlety and shades of meaning go right over your head, don't they?
You really are an uncommonally stupid woman, aren't you? You know I bet if
they took your brain and put it in a pit-bull nobody would be able to tell
the difference -- same frenzied stupidity, same inability to let go once
you grab something in your muzzle. Thomas handled things exactly the way
they should be handled. It wasn't a question of integrity, you dumb bell,
it was a question of avoiding the gazillion land minds the Democrats were
trying to lead him smack dab on top of.

No, it was thought that Thomas would be accepted by his own -- As He
Should Have Been! No one could have predicted the incredible display of
black stupidity that followed. In short it says, blacks aren't ready for
a two party system -- it confuses us (like you get) and makes us paranoid.
Better, give us a dictator who looks good, talks in rhymes, and does our
thinking for us.

And this mantra is one of the stupidest. "Most qualified" the last thing
we'd expect to hear from a black woman who literally starts frothing at
the mouth whenever the subject of Affirmative Action comes up.
Additionally, the man's integrity is unimpeachable, virtually everyone who
ever met or worked with him vouched for this. Indeed, with the exception
of the Anita Hill charge there was not a hint of any impropriety
anywhere in his resume, zero, nothing, except in your bile infused
dementia.

Hey, bonehead, you call yourself a lawyer -- ever hear of "rules of
evidence"? I mean, really -- you keep burping up the word "integrity"
keep slinging the word around like a red flag but as yet haven't produced
one example that shows his lack of it. And, fellows, I want you to take
a good look at the kind of woman this female is. Years ago when I was a
student and use to volunteer in County Court, I use to see ignorant black
female prosecutors and judges commit the most mindbending travesties
against black men. Really, I saw a stupid slut-judge give a man six
months on a bullshit harassment charge, then give him six months more
because he whispered under his breath, "I can handle it" (to which she
replied, "Well since you said that I'm going to give you six more
months,"). Had he insulted? No. Had he meant to insult her? No, again. His
comment was not even meant for her. It was a macho thing, but the stupid
bitch didn't understand and rather than leave it alone, she reacted like
the attack pit-bull she was and took away six more months of this man's
life. In other words when in doubt, think the worst about a black man.
In short, women like Kaiju have their own logic about things. If Anita
Hill went on 60 Minutes and said "I lied about the whole thing"
women like Kaiju would still go to their graves proclaiming she didn't.
It's an illogic actually; a mysterious thing they don't even understand
themselves. Anita Hill, Tisha Campbell, Robin Givens, Tina Turner, they're
all infected with it. Something, I think, that has to do with their rage
that black men aren't the rulers of the world. Yeah, something real
freaky-deaky like that; something deep in their blood going all the way
back to that slave-ship that brought their asses over here; uh-huh,
something they've hated you for ever since, bro...

>Kaiju <who has the highest respect for the law, but Clarence Thomas does

--
Whoa, fellow, the claims of Anita Hill were not at all "substantive."
Indeed, everyone who'd ever been in contact with Thomas said Ms. Hill's
claims were entirely out of character with the man they knew. Moreover,
she neither produced evidence or corroboration, something quite startling
inasmuch as a lawyer and law professor we'd expect her of all people to
produce in much plenitude; all of which suggests an even more disturbing
mindset, namely, that she meant to evoke the age-old stereotype of the
black man as a rapist in order to carry her case. Clearly, there existed
nothing else to convince us of the man's guilt -- no history, no
corroboration, no evidence just --"Y'all gotta show me the same respect
you would a Mississippi white woman, so get out the torches and rope for
me too."
Yeah, perhaps the lowest point for black women in this country since the
first one was herded off the boat. In five thousand unmarked graves
across the country 5000 black corpses with broken necks and flame-charred
bones rattled in disbelief and outrage....
Am I over dramatizing? I don't think so. Again, in the old South a white
woman had only to do precisely what Anita Hill did -- accuse a black man
and that would be his death warrant. No evidence, no corroboration, no
history. The black man could have been the town's 80 year old black
Baptist minister, it didn't matter, he'd be pulled out of bed and hung
from a tree with a couple of other innocent black men hung along side
for good measure.
And thus the question of Thomas' guilt or lack of is not even important
compared to the monstrous crime Anita Hill committed against him, and most
horrifically, every other black man lynched in this country. Her act in
so many words said, "White America, you were right about them nigger men."

GMAB. That guy probably was a sellout.
The majority of Black Americans are middle class and above in income and
socialization. To denigrate a "successful" Black is to denigrate ourselves.

Why, Peregrin, there's no need to worry. You're conservative
small-mindedness and inherent fear of powerful women is on bright and
shiny display, for everyone to see. You sound like someone who expects
to be toasted with champagne because he didn't belch after dinner.
You've barely managed to claw your way up from blind prejudice to the
banal realization that women have minds, too. We're all very proud of
you, and in fact, we couldn't be more prouder if you learned how the

Thanks for the confirmation, but I'd be surprised if anyone imagined
that you could have thought your way out of the "liberal" vs.
"conservative"; "Democrat" vs. "Republican" conceptual straightjacket
the talking heads wrapped you in. This may hurt a bit, but it's in
your own best interest, Sparky. No one -- liberal or conservative or
Democrat or Republican or socialist or libertarian or atheist or
devout -- cares in the slightest what you think or who you vote for,
because everything you say and feel has already been said better and
felt more strongly by millions of other people. I assume you picked
your nom-de-plume with reference to the soaring grace and merciless
huntsmanship of the glorious falcon, but it fits you only because both
you and the bird are about as dimwitted as is compatable with
maintaining a heartbeat. Now I'm sure your mother loves you, 'cause
that's what mothers do. So the next time you feel the urge to share
your mighty insights into complex questions of social policy, why
don't you write them on a napkin and give them to your mother. I bet
she'll wait till you're out of the room before she tosses it into the
trashcan. And if you puff out your chest and announce to her how
highly you think of the girls, why she might even pat you on your
thick "conservative" head. The rest of us, however, have real lives to
lead and actual thoughts to think.

The only annoying thing about a potential Clinton fall from grace
(which will happen, Peregrin, only if the bond markets start to fall),

Hmm. I wonder why conservative George Bush thought of that seat in terms
of color, then. Besides, poor Thurgood Marshall is probably turning in his

"To their own" I presume you mean Black women. And i presume you consider
such "preference" (assuming it actually exists for these two men) a *bad*
thing.
1.) IS it because a white woman would have nothing or less to offer a black
man?
2.) IS this solely due the color of their skin, that these women are *less?*
The preceding sentence has often been uttered by good 'ol fashioned
rascists, klan members ect. So, xona, at least, you're not *alone* in your
thinking!
