WaPo Describes Justice Thomas as “the Black justice whose rulings often resemble the thinking of White conservatives.”

Racists. That’s what they are.

In a piece discussing the next Supreme Court Justice, they wrote:

“Rep. Bennie G. Thompson (D-Miss.), a friend and ally of Clyburn’s for over 30 years, said even Clyburn’s critics respect his political instincts and his connection with a valuable but often disappointed subset of Democratic voters.

“Nobody that I’m aware of feels that opposing Clyburn’s nomination would be the wise thing to do,” he said. “If you know that a person has been vetted by Jim Clyburn, you know that person won’t go to the court and end up being a Clarence Thomas,” referring to the Black justice whose rulings often resemble the thinking of White conservatives.“

Let’s be clear here. They’re not reporting that someone said this. They’re not quoting either. The Washington Post just called Clarence Thomas, the conservative leader on the court, the “black justice whose rulings often resemble the thinking of White conservatives.”

These people make me sick.

The Volokh Conspiracy points out that in fact “the Court’s white conservatives issue rulings that often resemble those of Justice Thomas. Thomas is the intellectual leader of the Court’s conservative wing. And he has been for decades. Gorsuch, Alito, and the rest are just trying to keep up with CT. But once again, we get the racist trope that Thomas is Scalia’s clone. Just the opposite. Scalia often remarked that Thomas pushed him to the right. What lazy writing from the Post.”

So, the WaPo must have gotten smacked for this online because they’ve removed the term “white” from the story. But they revealed themselves for who they really are. They’re racist pigs.
