After the U.S. Supreme Court ruled Roe (abortion on demand everywhere) unconstitutional, the elite Woke have been rampaging generally – but against one judge in particular. Mr. Justice Clarence Thomas is black and, wouldn’t you know …
Brendan O’Neill has the story at Spiked. We can’t republish this racist abuse; you must read it there for yourself. One of his own comments sums up the enlightened Woke view:
Why has Clarence Thomas become the target of so much flak following the Supreme Court’s overturning of Roe v Wade? It’s because he’s black. It’s because, as someone with black skin, he is not meant to hold conservative views on issues like abortion. In the eyes of the furious woke agitators who are haranguing Thomas even more than they are the other Roe-sceptical justices, he has not only made a bad legal decision – he has also betrayed his race. His sin is twofold: he has undermined the right to abortion and he has failed in his racial duty to nod unquestioningly along to every ‘progressive’ idea. He’s a racial transgressor, a bad black man, and therefore he must be reprimanded even more severely than the white folk on the Supreme Court. Ladies and gentlemen, behold the scourge of woke racism.

Apparently, Mr. Justice Thomas does have civil rights so long as he does not exercise them.
When you read this stuff, you don’t wonder why the Woke believe in “nature red in tooth and claw,” Darwin’s “survival of the fittest,” and all that. When they were deafening the rest of us us with “Love Is Love!” the sharper among them were just trying to spot the carotid artery…
Here’s what the court actually ruled vs. what the Woke are screaming about.
Here’s a sympathetic view of Thomas and his role on the Court:
Meanwhile, a very active American abortionist gets the true crime treatment from a pair of investigative journalists from Ireland. Perhaps no American would touch it.
And now, let’s turn it over to the Babylon Bee for some lighter moments: Roe vs. Wade aborted in the 198th trimester:
Millions become prolife after learning that they won’t have to listen to Pink any more.
and, Bee-style,
“Are you a journalist? With Roe v. Wade overturned it’s YOUR job to fight back by controlling the language and righteously steering the narrative toward a world in which abortions are safe, legal, free, common, and performed through all 9 months of pregnancy. That’s what journalism is all about! Here is a list of terms you should use going forward.”
The good news is, readers will learn more by seeking out sources other than Woke newsrooms.
Speaking of Woke newsrooms: This isn’t fake news: Mainstream media are very out of touch. Massively so, if recent survey research is any guide. But how did they get SO far out of touch? Pew Research Center’s recent survey sheds some light on the gap between journalists and the public they are supposed to be trying to reach.
