    This seems a bit backwards. The minute we decide we don’t like someone we feel justified in using gendered or racial slurs against them. Malania Trump, KLAN, any woman whose actions seem against what we deem to be acceptable, even if we know they’re very likely sex trafficking victims, doesn’t just get called a bad person, they get called bitches and whores and the like. Clarence Thomas gets called the house negro.

    Now we’re going to start in on making fun of the looks of trans people because of this asshole?

    Why do so many people seem so eager to use terms and make fun of things we don’t find socially acceptable to make fun of the minute a person crosses the line? Not liking a person doesn’t make insulting them for those specific things any better.

    I’m really curious about the thought process behind all the up votes. I hope it’s not “He do look trans, how goofy har har.”

      The “no bad tactics, only bad targets” mentality on display is always gross to see.

      There are many reasons to dislike clavicular, but focus on the harms he causes rather than taking lazy shots about his looks, especially if there are trans people down range.

      Are you trying to argue Clarence Thomas isn’t a House Nigga? Good look with that shit my man, good luck. Call me and tell me how it went.

      Actually don’t call me ever again.

        Using the actual shit people say when they feel it would be socially justified to attack black folk in general would get me banned. That’s part of the point. It’s shit everyone agrees is awful and racist to use as insults and then turns around and uses on anyone they disagree with anyway.

          I ain’t got nothing against people of any colour, creed or language in general, but Clarence fucking Thomas is THE motherfucking exception. I wouldn’t piss on his smouldering corpse if it tried to give me a 50, ya hear me?

          Fuck that guy with a bucket load of caltrops man. Fuck you too, just in case.
