BLACKFACE SLAM NOT COOL SAYS DEM: ‘If George Takei were Ted Nugent, and Clarence Thomas were Obama…’
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FWwHqvTEFaM
George Takei made some pretty ridiculous and racist comments about Justice Clarence Thomas having ‘blackface’, and even Marc Lamont Hill is saying it wasn’t cool. The original comments can be seen in the video above. Here were some of the reactions via Twitter:
If @GeorgeTakei were Ted Nugent, and Clarence Thomas were Obama, we'd be having a whole different conversation about his "blackface" comment

Per usual, @seanmdav stays on point: Takei's non-apology underscores his racism. http://t.co/A7wqIVgLxb

@SarahKate26 @MZHemingway Obviously he was in his own right to disagree (vehemently) with the guy, but.. that response. Not helping anything

@MZHemingway @BarneyFranken Reminds of the old Simpsons line "No, no, dig up, stupid"!

@MZHemingway @michaelp737 Someone get @GeorgeTakei a backhoe. He's not digging this hole fast enough. #ApologizeTakei

@MZHemingway Wow, his defense makes him sound like more of a racist than his original comment. #ApologizeTakei

@MZHemingway @seanmdav Hehehe. Called him a white guy pretending to be black = not racist. That's some mental gymnastics.
