No they should not. Neither should the Christians, but in my community they are doing just that. There is a huge MegaChurch here that has published a "membership business directory" and has instructed its membership to keep their business in the Christian Community by using the Directory. To get your business listed in the directory, the principal owner of the business must be a Church member in good standing AND pay the advertising fee.

Ok, what does that have to do with what's being discussed here?

"The phrase "Uncle Tom" has also become an epithet for a person who is slavish and excessively subservient to perceived authority figures, particularly a black person who behaves in a subservient manner to white people; or any person perceived to be a participant in the oppression of their own group."

"slavish"? that's a rather racist term, don't you think?

Are union members who vote for the democratic party because the democratic party is more in line with their interests acting "slavishly" in your opinion?

you have to be kidding... yes... I think it is very racist. I was quoting YOUR terminology.

Yeah... so it had nothing to do with partisanship as Dung proclaimed. It had more to do with sexism.

He was being sarcastic you idiot. He actually knows what the hearings were about and what they showed. Jesus.

But a white man calling a black man an Uncle Tom isn't racist?

How did Biden and Kennedy treat Hill during the hearing?

I didn't like the way she was treated, but Biden did vote against Thomas' nomination, so in the end he got it right. I remember be absolutely disgusted by the whole proceedure.

This here, ladies and gentlemen, is what we call backtracking bullshit.

This hear ladies and gentlemen is complete douche baggery.

It is not backtracking. It was throwing his comments back in his face. To proclaim Thomas and Uncle Tom because of his political beliefs was nothing short of bullshit. To say he was a slave to white Reps simply because he was a black Rep is absurd. So I threw it back at him. But you are a giant douche bag and are again trying to prove that at every turn.

I think we need to dig up Biden questioning her. Then keep in mind, he LED the Senate Judiciary committee meeting.

Its a different issue, it was in response to a question posted here about groups who isolate. Often discussions go in varying directions on this board.

Re-read his post. HE is the one who said Thomas was 'slavish'. I simply used his own terminology against him.

I don't know if AH was telling the truth or not, but if she was CT should never have gotten the job. IN fact CT should not have gotten the job regardless of the AH allegations, he was not qualified. He was the only Supreme Court justice ever confirmed with an unqualified rating by the ABA.

He's been a lame justice. Just looks over to see how Scalia is voting, and goes w/ that...

Um, I know the question I asked Jarod. I asked him if blacks should isolate specifically in the context of what he wrote. I didn't ask him about different groups that isolate. Yes, it's a free board and you can write whatever you want but don't be dishonest about it.

It will be interesting to see what happens once Scalia is gone.

note that I highlighted the section that started with the word, "or". You do know what OR means, don't you?

I agree you did not take us where I took us. But that's what happens in conversations.

LMAO... wow, so the black judge can't decide on his own? Is he not smart enough?

That it was one of the two words that YOU used?
