This Black Woman’s Response to George Takei’s Racist Comments is Brilliant
Following the recent legalization of gay marriage by the Supreme Court, former Star Trek actor George Takei issued some contentious statements about the court’s only black justice, Clarence Thomas.
Takei said that Thomas is,
“…A clown in blackface sitting on the Supreme Court. He gets me that angry. For him to say slaves had dignity… I mean, doesn’t he know slaves were chained? That they were whipped on the back?”
He went on to say that Justice Thomas was an “embarrassment” and “a disgrace to America.”
At least one conservative black woman took issue with Takei’s statements and felt compelled to create the following video to call him out.
“It takes a certain kind of racist to think that black people can’t have their own opinion,” the lady can be heard to say on the video.
“That’s the problem with the left, they think they own African Americans.”
An excerpt from the video:
“I do recall that it was Lyndon B. Johnson who said, “I’ll have those niggers voting Democrat for the next 50 years. And guess what? It’s been past 50 years and we are still doing it in vast numbers.
…These liberals need to check their privilege. Particularly their privilege about what we are allowed to think. African-Americans are individuals. African-Americans have their own brain, whether they decide to be liberal, or whether they decide to be conservative, we should not be slandered or given racial slurs because we decide what we want to believe.
George Takei, you are a racist. It doesn’t matter what you say, it doesn’t matter how you try to cut it, you’re a racist. You made a racist statement. I’m not giving you slack for it.”
