Clarence “Uncle” Thomas Doesn’t want other Blacks to have Voting Rights

http://bluntandcranky.wordpress.com/2014/10/09/clarence-uncle-thomas-doesnt-want-other-blacks-to-have-voting-rights/

Source info at the link, natch.

He and his fellow racist, bigoted, partisan, Ayn-Rand-worshiping , Teabagging “Republican” Supreme Court “Justices” pretty obviously want to disenfranchise every person of color who does not sit on the high court. Yesterday’s “f*** those poor black voters” ruling is just the latest example:

“Tens of thousands of North Carolina voters, especially African-American voters, have relied on same-day registration, as well as the counting of ballots that were cast out of precinct, for years,” Barber said in a statement. “As the appeals court correctly concluded, eliminating these measures will cause irreparable harm of denying citizens their right to vote in the November election – a right that, once lost, can never be restored.”

Despite the Supreme Court ruling, Barber said, the NAACP and other organizations plan to make “sure that, county by county, as many votes as possible are counted despite the barriers posed by the Supreme Court’s ruling.”


Prior rulings in Ohio and indeed, nationwide, demonstrate that the Roberts Court has a 100% racist agenda when it comes to voting. The “conservatives” ALWAYS vote to f*** people of color. Even when they themselves are POC, people like Clarence “Uncle” Thomas do all they can to oppress and abuse others.

And the most disgusting aspect of this loathesome man, beyond his massive hypocrisy, is his near-sociopathic greed, lust, and lack of concern about anyone but himself. He has been a huge beneficiary of Affirmative Action, but wants no one else to get those benefits. He has profited greatly by Civil Rights laws, but wishes to deny those benefits to anyone else.

The other four “Justices” who routinely vote to turn non-white American citizens back into slaves (Alito, Scalia, Roberts, and Kennedy) are, of course, white, so their racism, classism, and discriminatory actions are to be expected from scum such as they. But for a black man to oppress other black people, and to do so with such consistency and enthusiasm, is truly inhuman and borders on the demonic.

And what is the quickest and best way to turn people of color back into second-class citizens? Why, taking away their access to the polls, of course. Clarence “Uncle” Thomas knows this, and that is why he rules as he does. Take away the voting rights from black citizens, and they won’t truly be citizens any longer.

People of color need to vote. They need to vote for politicians who don’t hate minorities, so that future Supreme Court jurists are worthy of being called “Justices”. Without the scarequotes.

Because “Republicans” put that bastard Uncle Thomas on the court. Given the chance, they’ll put more black-hating motherf***ers up there with him. Vote, while you still can. Against the racist Republican motherf***ers like “Uncle” Thomas.

I'm also a GOTV'er - meaning not just a poster at DU with a lot of great, grand ideas with no Get Up and Get It Done. . .


We have to register early.
Vote early.
Volunteer to assist others getting to the polls.
If you have knowledge/know how - get into the lower income communities and get those folks engaged.


We can rant and rave all we want about the Scrotum Five - but at the end of the day -

No one is going to help us - except us.

I'm going to sound like Kanye West. . . but take it to another level. When I read this OP - I believe that America is out to get Black people.

And that message needs to be delivered with every phone call and door knock. If we lose this election -


We are fucking done in this country. DONE.

So oppression really frosts my apricots. I am a big GOTFV man as well, in addition to my election integrity work.

You are 100% correct: it's on us to get this job done. We can do it if we get enough people on board. We can, and MUST do it.

8. Judge: “Why does the state of North Carolina not want people to vote?”
Thu Oct 9, 2014, 10:55 AM
Oct 2014

Judge Wynn, the only member of the panel who lives in North Carolina, appeared baffled by this provision. Explaining that he lives very close to a precinct that is not his assigned polling place, he asked the state to justify why his vote should be thrown out if he did not travel to a precinct that is further away from his home. At one point, his questions grew quite pointed — “Why does the state of North Carolina not want people to vote?” Wynn asked. At another point, he described a hypothetical grandmother who has always voted at the same place. Why not “let her just vote in that precinct?” he wondered?
