The Black Republican

I'm absolutely flummoxed by this.

In his dissent, he snidely dismisses the University of Michigan Law School's desire to see minority faces in the mix as "racial aesthetics," giving the effort to balance bigotry in society the moral weight of a Benetton ad. The phrase "racial aesthetics" would be more appropriately applied to W.'s nominating convention in Philadelphia, when the Republicans put on a minstrel show for the white fat cats in the audience.

Justice Thomas scorns affirmative action as "a faddish slogan of the cognoscenti." Quoting Frederick Douglass on the "Negro" 140 years ago, he urges: " `All I ask is, give him a chance to stand on his own legs! Let him alone! . . . Your interference is doing him positive injury.' "

He is at the pinnacle, an African-American who succeeded in getting past the Anita Hill sexual harassment scandal by playing the race card, calling the hearing "a high-tech lynching," and who got a $1.5 million advance to write his African-American Horatio Alger story, "From Pin Point to Points After."

So why, despite his racial blessings, does he come across as an angry, bitter, self-pitying victim?

This woman is so steeped in her own delusion of superiority that she can't see she just casually discounted the words of one of the greatest orators and civil rights crusaders in American history as the rant of an "angry, bitter" black man.

The good news: they've had so little to be happy about lately, this ruling has catapulted the Left into an orgasm of stupidity that will only hasten their demise as a valid brand of political thought.
