Clarence Thomas-Enemy to Blacks, And all of America

[IM2]

I defend him because he did what he was told he couldn't just like Ben Carson, two great men! The urbanm setting is the new plantation and again all the democrats do is race bait every two years and continue to screw the black population! biggest con ever

You defend him because he has done the bidding of the rght wing. There are millions of blacks who have done what they said couldn't be done, including me. But all you can do is point to Ben Carson and Thomas. This is again, because they have done the white right wings bidding for them. The only party race baiting is Republicans, and there is no new plantation. The only con is what you replublicans are trying to run.

Oprah has done what she was told she coudn't do and has done so far more sucesfully than Thomas and Carson. But you don't mention her, because shes not an Uncle Tom.

Clarence Thomas is a sellout. And the only people who support him are enemies of equal opportunity and of American democracy. His wife is an insurrectionist, and so by extension that makes him one. And yet he sits on the Supreme Court. He took the place of Thurgood Marshall. And Marshall is turning around in his grave like he's on a rotisserie because of the choice the first Bush made.

Thurgood Marshall

Thoroughgood "Thurgood" Marshall (July 2, 1908 – January 24, 1993) was an American civil rights lawyer and jurist who served as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States from 1967 until 1991. He was the Supreme Court's first African-American justice. Prior to his judicial service, he was an attorney who fought for civil rights, leading the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. Marshall was a prominent figure in the movement to end racial segregation in American public schools. He won 29 of the 32 civil rights cases he argued before the Supreme Court, culminating in the Court's landmark 1954 decision in Brown v. Board of Education, which rejected the separate but equal doctrine and held segregation in public education to be unconstitutional. President Lyndon B. Johnson appointed Marshall to the Supreme Court in 1967. A staunch liberal, he frequently dissented as the Court became increasingly conservative.

Clarence Thomas

Clarence Thomas (born June 23, 1948) is an American lawyer and jurist who serves as an associate justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. He was nominated by President George H. W. Bush to succeed Thurgood Marshall and has served since 1991. After Marshall, Thomas is the second African American to serve on the Supreme Court and has been its longest-serving member since Anthony Kennedy's retirement in 2018. Since Stephen Breyer's retirement in 2022, he is also the Court's oldest member.

Thomas was born in Pin Point, Georgia. After his father abandoned the family, he was raised by his grandfather in a poor Gullah community near Savannah. Growing up as a devout Catholic, Thomas originally intended to be a priest in the Catholic Church but was frustrated over the church's insufficient attempts to combat racism. He abandoned his aspiration of becoming a clergyman to attend the College of the Holy Cross and, later Yale Law School, where he was influenced by a number of conservative authors, notably Thomas Sowell. Upon graduating, he was appointed as an assistant attorney general in Missouri and later entered private practice there. He became a legislative assistant to U.S. Senator John Danforth in 1979, and was made Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education in 1981. President Ronald Reagan appointed Thomas as Chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) the next year.

Compare the resumes of these 2 men and it is apparent that Thomas should NEVER have been put in to replace a legendary legal mind such as Marshall.

Thomas is a piece of shit! So is Barrett, Gorsetch and Kavenaugh. The Supreme Court can go to hell as constituted.

The Clarence Thomas myth that refuses to die​

It’s the horror movie villain that won’t die, the pop song you can’t get out of your head, the out-of-town guest that just won’t leave.

It’s a belief that’s stuck like a tick in the collective memory of some white conservatives.

It’s the notion that black people despise Clarence Thomas because he’s a conservative.

It’s not only a myth but a con.

Thomas isn’t despised in the black community because he’s a conservative. Many dislike him because they see him as a hypocrite and a traitor.

Yet many white conservatives keep recycling the same selective stories about Thomas. These stories don’t just distort black culture – they carry an undercurrent of racism.

He’s not the only black leader who talks about self-reliance

But the way some white conservatives tell the story of Thomas’ rise from poverty also perpetuates racist stereotypes. They imply that Thomas and his hard working, no excuses grandfather are unusual characters in the black community. They depict Thomas as this lonely apostle of self-reliance, as if most black people prefer sitting on the couch drinking Kool-Aid while waiting for the government to send them a check.

Here’s some news: Black people have been practicing self-reliance for centuries. We’ve had to, for survival. We know through bitter experience that white America’s investment in racial equality is sporadic. Racial progress has always been followed by a “whitelash.”
Thomas’ stern grandfather is a familiar figure in the black community. Plenty of black people can tell you stories of grandparents, pastors, teachers, and coaches who all preached the same message: Rely on yourself, because you can’t rely on white people.

It’s almost impossible to find a revered black leader who didn’t preach some form of this message.

He cast an ‘atrocious’ vote against black America​

There’s something else many white conservatives miss: The contradiction between Thomas’ words and actions.

Thomas has lectured blacks about not defining themselves as racial victims. He once criticized civil rights leaders who he said, “B*tch, b*tch, b*tch, moan and moan and whine” about the Reagan administration.

But when his nomination to the Supreme Court was threatened by Anita Hill’s allegations of sexual harassment, he played the race card by saying he was the victim of a “high-tech lynching.”

Thomas has lectured blacks about the evils of affirmative action. Yet he made it into Yale Law School because of an affirmative action program.

“His entire career is a result of thrusts for diversity that he would deny in others,”
-Lawrence Goldstone, author of “On Account of Race: The Supreme Court, White Supremacy, and the Ravaging of African American Voting Rights

But it’s Thomas’ voting record that has cemented the cynicism many blacks feel toward him.

Critics say he has consistently voted against black people as well as other marginalized groups: women, LGBTQ people, religious minorities and death row inmates.

He is the first Supreme Court justice to openly criticize the high court’s landmark civil rights ruling, Brown v. Board of Education.

And he joined a 2013 high court decision – Shelby County v. Holder – that eviscerated the Voting Rights Act, the crown jewel of the civil rights movement.

Here is Thomas providing a crucial vote to cripple legislation for which the proponents of racial justice marched, bled, and in some instances died.
-Randall Kennedy, author and law professor

His vote on Shelby contributed to “the most unjustifiable and hurtful decision imposed on black America in the past half century,” Randall Kennedy, an author and professor at Harvard Law School, wrote in a recent article on Thomas.

Yet some of these idiots question why blacks don't like Carence Thomas.

 

[IM2]

You are a piece of garbage sell out to your race, Democrats have you on urban plantations, and instead of making you work they pay you not to, all they want is your vote, and keep they keep giving you scraps you insignificant miscreant!

Clarence Thomas is an Uncle Tom. I have show evidence of why. I live in a mid sized midwestern town. So the Democrats don't have me on whatever imaginary plantation you have created in your racist mind. You repeat idiocy. Shut up.

 

[hjmick]

I missed it. Obviosly Oliver doesn't like Thomas because he's been successful and Oliver has not.

It's worth every second of the thirty minutes:




He starts with a scathing rebuke of SCOTUS and their questionable ethics and hits Thomas at about 7:50...

To be honest, I hadn't given much thought to the man, but Oliver opens eyes with this piece.

 

[jbander]

That is a balled faced lie

Just another hate Nazi/

 

[jbander]

Bigotry is calling him an uncle tom

That makes YOU a tom as he is a better man than you

That is so ridiculous. From a group that is know for their bigotry, make his comment rather worthless.

 

[Soupnazi630]

It is exactly what he has done.

No it is not

You have failed to make such a case

It is a case. In court this is called evidence.

 

[Frankenstein]

You defend him because he has done the bidding of the rght wing. There are millions of blacks who have done what they said couldn't be done, including me. But all you can do is point to Ben Carson and Thomas. This is again, because they have done the white right wings bidding for them. The only party race baiting is Republicans, and there is no new plantation. The only con is what you replublicans are trying to run.

Oprah has done what she was told she coudn't do and has done so far more sucesfully than Thomas and Carson. But you don't mention her, because shes not an Uncle Tom.

Oprah is the epitome of an uncle Tom, you do not like Carson and Thomas because they won't toe the democrat line, of acting like victims! There is absolutely a new plantation, and your type keep people on it by continuing to tell your fellow blacks to vote Democrat, I suppose it's so you can some how seem above them.

 

[Frankenstein]

Clarence Thomas is an Uncle Tom. I have show evidence of why. I live in a mid sized midwestern town. So the Democrats don't have me on whatever imaginary plantation you have created in your racist mind. You repeat idiocy. Shut up.

You are one of the lucky ones, look at large blue cities where the black are bunched together, and have nothing, because they have embraced generational welfare, and blame white people for all their problems, they should have Carson and Thomas as Icons but because they have a different political affiliation than you, you demonize them!
