A Democratic lawmaker from Minnesota criticized Tuesday’s U.S. Supreme Court decision on the Voting Rights Act by calling Justice Clarence Thomas “Uncle Thomas,” then saying he didn’t know “Uncle Tom” was a racist epithet.
On his Twitter account Tuesday, state Rep. Ryan Winkler called the justices’ 5-4 ruling striking down a part of the law racist, and the work of “four accomplices to race discrimination and one Uncle Thomas.” Justice Thomas, who is black, was one of the five justices in the majority.
That tweet was quickly deleted, and Mr. Winkler, who is white and represents some upper middle class suburbs west-southwest of Minneapolis, offered a conditional-tense quasi-apology in subsequent tweets.
He said he “didn’t think it was offensive to suggest that Justice Thomas should be even more concerned about racial discrimination than colleagues. But if such a suggestion is offensive, I apologize.”

Oh boy, he didn't know it was a racist epithet? LMAO! That seems to be the go-to excuse for Dems anymore. "I know nothing". Too bad the Left will agree with him and ignore the racism.

B/c those two words have entirely different meanings? Or more accurately, only one of those words has a meaning.
so democrats don't hate black people? that's news to me, and everyone else living on earth. they just hide their racism much better. wolves in sheep's clothing. or in this case, donkey's clothing.
why don't liberals just call him the "n word" like they all want to.
Oh I'm sure they do. From lily white liberal Minnesota to Chocolate City New Orleans, I have no doubt in my mind that Justice Thomas has been called the vilest of vile names.

Based on your last two posts, I'm sure there's an ocean of things that are news to you.
