89. Just an observation on my part,

Apr 2014

but an Afro American man calling out Clarence Thomas as an "Uncle Tom" or Mitch McConnell as a racist, seems to be a very long, if not impossible, stretch to label that Afro American man a racist.

Personally, I think that Clarence is one of the whitest right wing cwhorepoRATe jerks I've ever seen.

Mitch on the other hand, hates so many different peoples it would be tough to categorize him as anything other then the cwhorepoRATe fascist he is.
