Clarence Thomas-Enemy to Blacks, And all of America

[Meister]

You and Sharpton are two peas from the same pod, both are race baiters.
You can talk against another black (and do constantly) that is not under the same tent as you, IM2.

Bless Judge Thomas!

Clarence Thomas-Uncle Ruckus. Same thing.

"There is nothing you can do to get past black skin. I don’t care how educated you are, how good you are at what you do – you’ll never … be seen as equal to whites."
-Clarence Thomas

You don't get to determine anything here in this discussion. Clarence Thomas is a no-good pos. His unethical behavior is apparent, and I don't even have to talk about his selling out of black people to state my opposition to this insurrectionist sympathizing corrupt right-wing puppet. I do not have to like Thomas just because YOU think he's great. And Thomas is a race hustler extraordinaire. But as long as he does his hustle in the way whites want it done, as long as he works to erase the gains blacks earned through hard work and sacrifice during the civil rights movement that whites like you didn't want to happen in the first place, you will gladly defend this sorry black piece of shit.

And that's exactly why whites like you defend Clarence Thomas. He thinks about blacks the way you tell him to and he does what you say to end equal opportunity for blacks like you want him to.

 

[IM2]

So notice that no blacks in this forum are rushing n here to tell me how wrong I am about Clarence Thomas. The only grief I am getting is from right wing white racists.

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.

You HAVE equal opportunity you nit wit.

And that's exactly why whites like you defend Clarence Thomas. He thinks about blacks the way you tell him to and he does what you say to end equal opportunity for blacks like you want him to.

Thomases record on civil rights speaks for itself so Skye you are doing exactly what I said, So you are disagreeing based on what? That you're white and say you disagree? That's not good enough.

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.

https://www.cnn.com/2019/12/07/us/clarence-thomas-white-conservatives-blake/index.html

"There is nothing you can do to get past black skin. I don’t care how educated you are, how good you are at what you do – you’ll never … be seen as equal to whites."
-Clarence Thomas

Here we see that Thomas has internalized racism and has accepted that he himself no matter what can be equal to whites. That is what these right wingers here would call black victimhood if a black person who has not helped support the right-wing racist agenda made this comment. But Thomas is hailed as a great man because he's carrying the bucket like a good lawn jockey.

What you don't agree with is irrelevant. You have been shown his record and if you think he is the best after looking at the crap he has done, then it is apparent that you think he is the best because he has worked to kill what blacks worked and died to have. Things such as voting rights and equal opportunity.

Clarence Thomas will be remembered so long as the United States exists as a country.

He is a great justice who has done great things.
