Paper Calls Clarence Thomas 'Black Man with an Asterisk'
An editorial in the Tuesday edition of the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel seems to call into question the content and character behind the color of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas’ skin. The newspaper – openly liberal by virtue of this opinion piece – is chock full of buzzwords straight out of the Democrat Party talking-points used to describe the nomination of Samuel Alito to the U.S. Supreme Court. Saying the Alito nomination "lessens the extent to which the court mirrors the nation’s rich diversity,” the editors argue that Alito’s mere presence as a man should disqualify him from the opportunity to replace Sandra Day O’Connor on the High Court. Apparently, the Journal-Sentinel editors view the "O’Connor seat” as a female entitlement.
Story Continues Below Most troubling, however, is the degrading, racial slap the editors make at Thomas (emphasis added): "In losing a woman, the court with Alito would feature seven white men, one white woman and a black man, who deserves an asterisk because he arguably does not represent the views of mainstream black America.” Will the Journal-Sentinel editors be given a free pass by their media colleagues for using such derogatory and disrespectful language – not only to Thomas, but to all blacks and all Americans?
