Just because Takei had the ability to memorize such great lines “Aye aye, captain” does not mean he has any smarts. And, as far as intelligence in actors goes, Takei is no Ronald Reagan. He’s not even a Kim Kardashian
As everyone who does not depend on the left wing mainstream media for news knows by now, actor and gay rights spokesman, George Takei, is not too pleased with what Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas wrote in his dissenting opinion in the gay marriage case, Obergefell v. Hodges.
Of the only black justice on the Supreme Court of the United States, Takei said, “He is a clown in blackface, sitting on the Supreme Court. He doesn’t belong there.”
Star Trek’s Mr. Sulu could not understand what all the fuss was about concerning his reference to “blackface.” But there is a simple explanation for Takei’s confusion; the aged actor is simply not too bright.
This should not come as a surprise to those who are skeptical of comments made by actors who know nothing about what they talk about but whose word is accepted as gospel because they are given a platform to state their views to a fawning media and a gullible public.

Takei’s total lack of intelligence is obvious from his excuse about how what he said about Justice Thomas was not racist. For the benefit of the unwashed masses, Takei explained that the term “blackface” is a theatrical term. The intellectually challenged actor explained, “Blackface is a lesser known term for a white actor who blackens his face to portray a black buffoon.” He goes onto say, since it is “theatrical lingo” it’s not racist.
Unreal. Takei is right about what “blackface” means. White actors used to blacken their faces in order to portray black people as buffoons. THAT IS WHY THE TERM IS RACIST, not simply artistic. Logic like this almost makes you want to feel sorry for the Star Trek has-been.
It’s true that many Americans, especially Millennials, know little of their country’s history or even the present. In on-the-street interviews, many Americans did not know the purpose of the July 4 holiday. Some who did know, did not know what country the United States gained its independence from. Some thought France while others guessed Canada. (In case some of these people are actually reading this, the correct answer is England).
Mr. Sulu has achieved what very few people ever have—he’s shown he isn’t even smart enough to be a racist
The United States these days is such that Joe Biden, a heartbeat away from the presidency, could commit a crime and have a good chance he could not be identified in a lineup. Yet most people, other than the truly ignorant, know what the term “blackface” means. The term is hardly some obscure theatrical term the not only intellectually challenged but arrogant Takei thinks it is.
It is difficult to believe how anyone with even low average intelligence could possibly think comparing someone to a white actor who applies makeup in order to portray a black buffoon is not a racist comment. Mr. Sulu has achieved what very few people ever have—he’s shown he isn’t even smart enough to be a racist.
If Takei cannot understand the simple construct that blackface is racist then he is certainly totally incapable of understanding anything Justice Thomas could possible say or write. Of course in his simple mind, Takei didn’t have a clue about the point the justice was making.
In his dissent, Thomas stated that human dignity is not something bestowed upon people by governments. Governments can neither give nor take away dignity; dignity is inherent in a person simply because he or she is a human being. There is no way a simpleton like Takei could possibly know this, but Thomas’ views on dignity was not original.
Without the ability to understand what Thomas wrote, Takei interpreted the justice’s words as saying such things as slavery and internment of the Japanese during World War II was “dignified.” Thomas said no such thing. The television miniseries Roots was a good example of people having dignity while being enslaved. Of course Roots will never air again because of the politically incorrect language slave owners used in describing their slaves.
Although the mediocre actor has apologized for his remarks, it is doubtful he is capable of even a minimal understanding of how a “lesser known term of blackface” can be considered racist.
Takei is so out of it as far as a basic understanding of racism goes, it might be said he has truly gone where no man has gone before
Takei of course is a good liberal so, unlike Donald Trump, he will face no consequence for his racist diatribe. Rather he will be treated like Joe Biden who in 2007 described Barack Obama as a mainstream African-American who is clean and articulate. That was written off as simply Joe being Joe. Takei will similarly be excused by the left.

With all the gays, lesbians and transsexuals in Hollywood, you would think the gay rights movement could come up with a better and more intelligent spokesperson for their cause than someone who has such little understanding of what constitutes a racist remark.
