Today, the Supreme Court struck down a part of the Voting Rights Act that mandated that state and local governments have to seek federal permission to change their voting laws. The striking down of this provision does not take away the right of black people to vote. It simply acknowledges states rights.
It was, in fact, this provision within the Voting Rights Act that forced state and local governments to seek federal permission to change their voting laws that gave Attorney General Eric Holderthe power to challenge voter ID laws in certain states. His continuous argument was that these laws were racist. Never mind that you have to have an ID to buy alcohol, cigarettes, and Sudafed. He took race baiting to a new level by accusing those states, which fell under the umbrella of the Voting Rights Act, of not wanting black people to vote.
I have contended for quite some time that the left’s love of black people ends when that black person does not walk in lockstep with the Democrat line. If they DARE to be a conservative, then not only are they fair game, but they are then open to ridicule, condemnation, and attack from the left. These attacks will just roll off their tongue with such ease that it is disturbing. In the case of MN State Rep. Ryan Winkler, a Democrat, the racist attack rolled from his fingers to the internet via his computer.
Notice, he singled out one Supreme Court justice in his attack on this decision.
His reference to Clarence Thomas as ‘Uncle Thomas’ is not just a racial slur. It is a racist attack.He did not say ‘Uncle Antony’ in reference to Justice Scalia or ‘Uncle John’ in regards to Justice Roberts.
He intentionally singled out and mentioned one Supreme Court justice. The black one.Calling Justice Thomas ‘Uncle Thomas’ is essentially not only accusing him of being a traitor to his race, but also feeds the flames of racial divide and racism.
Winkler quickly took his tweet down, but not before screenshots were taken by many. He was immediately and harshly called out on Twitter to which he had one of the most lame, disingenuous responses that I have ever seen.
Really, Rep. Winkler? Do you believe that the American people are so stupid that we would believe your ridiculous claim that you didn’t understand that ‘Uncle Tom’ was a racist term?
If you didn’t realize it was a racist term, then why did you single out Justice Clarence Thomas in your attackon the SCOTUS decision? Your apology is weak. Your apology is lame. Your apology, at least by me, is NOT accepted.
Paula Deen is currently being lambasted by many, has lost her Food Network Show, and is currently losing many sponsorships because of a term that she used THIRTY years ago.I can’t say what is in Paula Deen’s heart, but I do not know of any recent slurs on her part. But, many believe that her career should be ended because of an unfortunate thing that she said 30 years ago in recalling when she was robbed a gun point by a criminal.
You, Rep. Winkler, however, have demonstrated your deep -rooted racism in calling Justice Thomas an ‘Uncle Tom’. Your bigotry is apparent. Your disdain for conservative blacks is obvious. Your prejudice is disgusting. If the people of Minnesota truly believed that someone’s career should be destroyed because of the words that they say, then they should begin recall proceedings against you immediately. |
