WaPo Blog Lumps Black Conservatives With Mass Murdering Dictators
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, February 24, 2010, 3:32 PM
The Washington Post’s “The Root” blog posted a piece on “Black Folks We’d Like to Remove From Black History.” The list lumps noted mass murderers Idi Amin, Robert Mugabe and John Allen Muhammad along with Clarence Thomas, Alan Keyes and Michael Steele. They forgot about Condi.
Via Free Republic:
From The Root: Clarence Thomas
Although he’s only the second man of color to serve in the Supreme Court, the Backstreet Boys have more standing in the black community than Clarence Thomas. That’s because he looks to the Constitution as “colorblind,” says he’s a man who just happens to be black and opposes government programs intended to help minorities. I’m not sure if the late Thurgood Marshall would want to pop Clarence ‘side his head with his gavel, but there are plenty of blacks who would volunteer to do it for him.
The fact that Thomas views the Constitution as “colorblind” is very upsetting to these Constitutionally-illiterate racists.
How sad.
It should come as no surprise that this venomous ‘The Root” is the brainchild of Post Chairman Donald Graham and Harvard University professor and Obama pal Henry Louis Gates Jr.
The National Center for Public Policy Research, a black conservative group, is not too happy about this racist hit piece.

“Remove from history”
“pop ‘side his head with a gravel”
How violently tolerant…

“Remove from history”
How… so… 1984.
The Root is nothing but a small incarnation of the Thought Police.
Dell commented:
When one considers the source of the comments, it’s not difficult to understand. And don’t forget, your President supports these folks right to the bitter end. I’m certain he bites his tongue whenever he’s asked about racism, the Supreme Court Justices, police officers who arrest black folks and why his entire life’s history is “sealed”!
Oh….Wait. He’s never asked about those things?
Never mind.
Taqiyyotomist commented:
“Would like to…”
LOL! They HAVE! “Would like to.” That’s funny, coming from the folks who have scrubbed every public-school history book of all mention of party during the civil rights era.
Democrats and Progressives, erasing history.
It’s all they know: false witness. Learned it from their Father in hell…just doing his dark bidding. Just like the Soviets did.
It’s in their nature.

How are these people scheduled for erasure chosen? Can we nominate candidates? Say a certain guy whose name rhymes with Barack Obama? Although we should probably keep his name around, so we don’t make the same mistake twice.
joe buzz commented:
the tolerance of the left is out there….somewhere….maybe.
Paddy commented:
Black scholars and intellectuals like Thomas Sowell, Shelby Steele, John McWhorter and Walter Williams are intellectual giants among pygmies like Gates. Clarence Thomas will be recognized some day as one of the great Supreme Court justices.
Big Mo commented:
Thomas IS one of the great Supreme Court justices.
People like Gates make me sick. They need someone like Thomas’ “Daddy” to set them straight. (Read Thomas’ powerful and awesome memoirs, My Grandfather’s Son, if you don;t know the reference.)
daryl commented:
Wasn’t it decided after all of the media hoopla about it’s authinticity that this sites namesake (Roots) was fiction, and its author sued for plagiarism, even after they tried to have you believe that it was painstakingly researched and written as pure fact ?
I would give this site about as much credit for accountability as Mr. Haley. The big difference was Haley’s plagiarised work of fiction was at least interesting.
The nattering from this site, not so much. More like vindictive and slanderous.
BigJ commented:
Ssshh! Your intolerance is showing, WaPo!
Betty commented:
How are they able to get away with printing something so blatantly racist? Where are Al Sharpton and the other usual suspects?
Neo commented:
They speak French is Haiti
DocScience commented:
The view into a mad man’s mind is not a pretty one.
But it is something we need to understand about the damaged psyches of “progressives”. The more “truth” these lunatics expose about how they think and what they believe, the better off everyone is.
DaveCal commented:
Well, obviously, Clarence Thomas has acted stupidly…
The Elector of Saxony commented:
I wonder if Mumia Abu Jamal made this list? What am I saying? He’s a cop killer. I forget that in the black (leftist) community; cop killer=good, strict constructionist Justice of the Supreme Court=shameful.

Um, the Constitution is supposed to be color blind. Have you ever heard of the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. Thats what makes the Constitution and our society color blind. Welcome to Con Law 101. I guess Justice Clarence Thomas can’t be a “real” hero to the libs like race hustler con man al sharpton and messie jessie jackson.
jb commented:
Thomas will never be forgiven for being an uppity sort of Negro and telling white liberal plantation owners (gummint) and their hired slaves (black civil rights sycophants) he would not put their rope around his own neck.

How incredibly sad.
I wonder what the world would look like if EVERYONE thought like a liberal. How absolutely horrifying.
gus commented:
This EXACTLY what STALIN did. He even had PHOTOS retouched so the offending NON-MARXIST was now a NON-PERSON.
This isn’t coincidental. These MARXIST cokk suckers actually believe that if you aren’t one of them, you shouldn’t exist.
How tolerant.
gus commented:
Notice how MARXISTS PHILOSOPHIES die when the country is bankrupt and the people have had enough PUMPERNICKEL. Then the MARXIST nations get “enlightened” leaders who get rich and try to use MARXISM light as they gorge themselves fat on the CAPITALISM they claim to hate.
Our AMERICAN LIBTARDS are about 30 years behind the curve.
Obama being the biggest CLOWN of all.

We’ve seen it. It includes created famines, eugenics, “great cultural leaps forward”, ethnic cleansing, absolute state control, and a host of other evils “progressiveism” inevitable leads to.

Liberals are idiots.

Ass wipe Racists … Bottom of the barrel!
Andreas K. commented:
Very progressive.
Gus, you’re right. Nikolai Yezhov, who at one time was head of the NKVD, eventually lost Stalin’s support. Yezhov was finally shot and he was removed from photos showing him with Stalin. Yezhov wasn’t the only one. This was more or less common practice under Stalin.

hes mad because some blacks realize that the dem party is the party of slavery remember it was a rep who freed the slaves also the kkk was the brain child of the dem party now its called welfare

Here’s a great post by Kevin Jackson today:
http://theblacksphere.net/jobs-bill-and-baby-steps/#comment-14699
“Consider that Democrats were able to regain their power after Reconstruction, practically erasing their vile history of racism. They then transferred their legacy of racism to the party who actually freed the slaves and fought with valor for civil rights for blacks—the Republicans! Now that is something on which to marvel, and the Democrats did this over a period of a few decades…taking baby steps.”

wanumba commented:
Thomas is blacker than Obama and Gates combined. Seems the fairer look down on the darker skinned? They probably seethingly resent that Justice Thomas also has more brains than both them combined, too. They act like it.
When Obama did his dodgy half-lidded sideways glance and intoned that “Thomas wasn’t the most qualified” it was reprehensible.

If Gates is one of the brainfathers of this mindset then I’d hope Justice Thomas sees it as a badge of honor, I do.
Galt commented:
“I wonder what the world would look like if EVERYONE thought like a liberal. How absolutely horrifying.”
It would be the war of all against all. And as Hobbes predicted, the weak would seek safety in an overbearing Leviathan.
Which suits the racist leftists just fine since they intend to operate Leviathan for personal profit. Racial discord is MUSIC to the ears of an ambitious lefty — it’s vital to their business plan.
Marsh commented:
Gotta love the Marxist entitlment attitude of the left. “I’m black. I’m a victim. Gimme government programs and burn the Constitution or else I’ll call you a racist.” For God sakes. No wonder minorities have so many problems. They’ve been coddled by the white left and made dependent on the government and turned into militant socialist whiners by racial grievance mongers. if they’e just sitting around waiting for handouts from people who don’t really feel like giving it to them then they’re in for a pretty crappy existence. Your life is in your hands. You get out what you put into it. Work hard in school; don’t break the law; carry yourself with dignity and treat people with respect. Follow those simple rules and your life will turn out fine in America regardless of skin color, gender, sexuality or religion. There’s NO heterosexual racist Christian white male conspiracy to keep minorities out of college or the workplace.

Cassandra commented:
Wanumba 33, that’s what I was thinking. When BO smugly insinuated that Justice Thomas just wasn’t smart enough, I thought about the melanin hierarchies that are said to exist among “people of color.” BO is proud to be identified as “black,” but he lords it over those who might be considered “too black.”
The white people who can’t stand BO generally like Justice Thomas—yet we’re still racists, because Thomas is “not really black,” even while he’s “too black.”
Randy commented:
So Clarence Thomas’ fault is that sees the Constitution as “colorblind”? Thanks black liberals for showing your true colors. You don’t, and in all likelihood never did, give a rat’s ass about equality and you just want government handouts because your too damn lazy to make something of yourself and think an institution that hasn’t existed in 150 years is your ticket to a free lunch.
jsminch commented:
“Remove from history.” Isn’t that exactly what Stalin did?
The left can never handle history recorded accurately. It messes up their narrative, it gives the lie to their mantras and burns them like holy water.
