Discrimination from the discriminated: Justice Thomas

The US Supreme court came out with the ruling that struck down DOMA (Defense of Marriage Act) and California Proposition 8.  Of the 9 Justices, 2 white male Justices and 3 female Justices struck down DOMA while 3 white male Justices and 1 black male Justice dissent on the ruling.  I am not surprise for the 3 white male Justices to rule for DOMA considering they are on the top of the food chain of our society.   They do not really know how it is to be discriminated and oppressed.  But for Justice Clarence Thomas who is a black man, I would think he should know better.  It was not long ago when he could not marry a white woman.  And ironically, Justice Thomas' wife is a white woman.  What a hypocrite!  I am always very disappointed to see those who belonged to a minority perpetuate discrimination and injustice to another minority.  In fact I hate those kind of bigots.

I blogged about this elderly black woman who discriminate against the mentally disturbed group and about this gay Jewish man who discriminate against gay Asians.   A black elderly woman is definitely a discriminated group and so is a gay Jewish man.  And yet these two are just as bad as the KKK and Nazi.  There is no room in our society for discrimination let alone coming from a minority group that has been discriminated.
