Clarence Thomas is a hero to many Blacks for not caving to the hate Whitey crowd.... A huge hero

[Libby von H]

Becakuse he married a white woman, is Catholic, is conservative --- many self-hating libreral morons have to explain why they dislike him in racist terms.Which only shows how racist they are. Many whites say exactly what he has said and those same folks go mute. It's just a bunch of young self-hating stupid dropouts who are addicted to anger.

He probably was the best black justice available at the time. It's a shame liberals think we need quotas for the Supreme Court.

According to who? Some female white racist?

I'm 63 with coellge degrees. I can't stand that Uncle Tom and this is why:

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.

homas 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.

not because he married a white woman or is catholic. Try not commenting on blacks. Thomas is a hero to little or no blacks.

The quota was 100 percent white before Thurgood Marshall. And Thomas wasn't the best available justice at that or any other time. But he was the best available bootlicker.

One for Marxists one for Feckless RINO apologists

Yes. Truly a shame...

“I will be putting forth a nominee next week. It will be a woman,” Trump said. “I think it should be a woman because I actually like women much more than men.”

Trump vows to nominate a woman for US supreme court vacancy within a week

President says he has ‘obligation’ to fill the vacancy created by the death of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg
