Joss Whedon, Jerk, Proves Clarence Thomas Right
26th June 2013
Former Roseanne writer Joss Whedon is very upset with Clarence Thomas for his failure to support affirmative action:
Clarence Thomas is against affirmative action. There isn’t a hashtag big enough to contain the irony.
Let me unpack this for you: Joss Whedon, a wealthy white liberal, thinks it’s ironic that Clarence Thomas, a black conservative who is the grandson of a sharecropper and grew up in the Jim Crow south yet managed to work his way to the nation’s highest court, isn’t grateful for the handouts that Joss and his ilk have given him. Doesn’t that uppity idiot realize that he only serves at the pleasure of those, like Mistuh Whedon, who deigned to give him a helping hand? Surely he doesn’t think he earned that spot on the Supreme Court. He couldn’t be that clueless, could he?
In a supreme bit of irony, Whedon managed to validate every single negative thing that Clarence Thomas has ever written about affirmative action. And he did it in fewer than 140 characters! Now that’s economy.
