You Can Be Racist If You’re Fighting For Leftism

When Leftism is under threat, every tool is at their disposal, including their old favorite: racism.

A bizarre form of bigotry exists on the Left, in which members of protected groups immediately shed their usual “identity politics” protections if they dare to stray from the expected direction of thought.

It’s possible that there is no better example of this sporadic group-based categorization than Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas.

Alongside other black conservatives who commit the supposed moral crime of thinking for themselves — such as Larry Elder or Candace Owens — Justice Thomas is routinely targeted by the self-described “tolerant” Left, all while utterly incompetent Democratic Party figures — such as Vice President Kamala Harris or White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre — are lauded solely because of their race.

After the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn “Roe vs. Wade,” failed presidential candidate and worst prison visitor in history, Hillary Clinton, declared that Justice Thomas is a “person of grievance,” driven by “resentment, grievance, anger.”

Others piled on.

“How’s Uncle Clarence feeling about Overturning Loving v Virginia??!!” Samuel L. Jackson asked. Meanwhile Whoopi Goldberg — the politically-minded genius who thought Jill Biden (who received a Doctor of Education degree in educational leadership from the University of Delaware) could be appointed as surgeon general because she’s an “amazing doctor” — addressed Justice Thomas directly, saying “You better hope that they don’t come for you, Clarence, and say 'you should not be married to your wife who happens to be white.’”

And other less-notable online individuals launched more overtly racist insults, including “coon ass motherf*****,” “just another dumb field n*****,” and “n***** slave to his white ‘nutcase’ wife.”

Perhaps the Democratic Party hasn’t changed all that much since the days of slavery, or indeed since they imposed the Jim Crow laws Justice Thomas himself lived under as a child?

The fact is that the American Left is not tolerant. They do not celebrate diversity, because diversity is not the goal.
