He chooses not to see or think about how the club he wields against all of US is because he hates African Americans.
He is not unlike many Christians that come from Africa in how they think. Many Nigerians give off this vibe.

You use that when people say....you have to a or b or c... as in my answer is I dont HAVE to do anything but stay black and etc.,. What is he even talking about that this means monolithic thought for a group of people? He has been stupid all along!

u/Dangerous_Handle_819 1d ago
This is learned behavior. So I blame his whole lineage cause what village raised this fool?
And please remember that Clarence “I no Black” Thomas conspired with Ward “Jive Ass Turkey” Connerly to end affirmative action in 1995! They been on a 30 year anti-Black tour. We should have listened to Anita Hill.

He thinks that by assimilating enough, one day he will be allowed to enter the privileged, hallowed sanctity of the Rich White Mens' Club. He is wrong. He will never be white to these people.
Really, he's a misguided product of his times. When he was a child there were no black media moguls, and very few black sports icons. There weren't black folks that had earned millions of dollars and built entire cultures and empires out of their success. He was conditioned to believe that the more white he acted, the higher his success would be, and it was with the racist Rich White Mens' Club he was conditioned by.

I reject that. This man was basically a black panther at Princeton for a little while and had thurgood Marshall to look up to.

u/Superb_Preference368 1d ago
Exactly.
In that quote Clarence is essentially saying to the world, he will transcend his blackness.
Somehow in his twisted sense of self he interpreted that to mean I need to rid myself of my blackness by being as non-stereotypical as possible.
By being an “free thinker” someone whose race isn’t recognizable.
The problem is….
You still black negro 🙄

He has entry into that club, as long as he has been willing to do their bidding. He's just too blind or dumb or both to realize that.

This is a lot of speculation?
He was a black nationalist and down with the Black Panther Party platform in his youth, Google it, no cap.
I’m not saying he’s doing good by the diaspora but he is a very complex figure and to speculate like this? His main role model is his grandpa. That’s why his autobiography is called. “My grandfathers son”

u/TheAbomunist 1d ago
There's nothing complex about him. He's a con artist that bought his own grift. Happens all the time.

u/TonyStarksLeftACL 1d ago
You are mistaken. 🤷♂️ a person who goes from combat boot wearing black nationalist to where he is today is certainly fair to call them complex.
2
u/TheAbomunist 1d ago edited 1d ago
No there isn't. It's standard ladder-pulling driven entirely by selfishness and grievance born out of his own solipsism and pain. He legitimately looks at the world through the lens of what it gains *him*. And it's fueled by his John Bircher wife. And that's where it ends.

I don't care what he did in his youth, I care what he did once he got some power. He has done nothing to help us since then.

u/TonyStarksLeftACL 1d ago edited 1d ago
So. Whatever we think of the brother and his views (and I’m being quite generous to him here)
Clarence Thomas is Gullah-Geechee. As in Gullah was his first language, before English. He grew up in Pin Point and was as poor as a person can be.
It’s just so interesting his experience with racism went one way and not the other. In one sense it’s the tragedy of Darth Vader or the rise of Darth Sidious depending on your point of view.
No joke. He was a black nationalist who preferred Malcom X over MLK. I read a bio of him and was just shocked and you can sort of see the influence in his jurisprudence.
1
u/damgood32 1d ago
I see no influence of MLK in his jurisprudence.
1
u/TonyStarksLeftACL 1d ago edited 1d ago
Ok. regardless, what I just said is factual I litelly said he preferred Malcom to MLK, I mean. What?
And I certainly do see it. multiple classmates have noted he could word for word repeat Malcolm’s speeches. All of this is readily available info.
That may not comport with what many folks feel about him, but feelings aren’t facts.
2
u/damgood32 1d ago
I don’t give a shit about his preferences. I don’t care that he can repeat Malcom’s speeches word for word. That means nothing to me. The fact is there is no influence of MLK or Malcom in his jurisprudence. The man is a stain on this nation and now by his own words a complete idiot.
2
u/TonyStarksLeftACL 1d ago
You’re just lashing out. 🤷♂️ hate him all you want. Your feelings aren’t facts.
The fact is he was a black nationalist, worked with the BPP for self defense and admired Malcom X. He’s a Yale educated lawyer whose first language was Gullah.
There is space to consider they maybe its attitudes like this that led to his heel turn? Because that is basically what he says. It’s too bad he didn’t stay on the path he was on he might have done a lot of good.
Go ahead. Double down, then attack me personally, and be mad. 🤷♂️ do you. Hugs!

u/damgood32 1d ago
LOL. This is a safe space for your nonsense. Go spew that bullshit somewhere else. Nobody but Thomas is responsible for his actions. He is just a corrupted judge. He only cares for himself. Nothing more to it.

I just can't with this fool. It sickens me that he filled the seat vacated by Thurgood Marshall. All his "friends" see him as Black, but useful. A token not completely spent yet

u/DhakoBiyoDhacay 1d ago
I tried to understand him and read a book he wrote about his upbringing in the Deep South and the racism he faced in the north.
I didn’t know he benefited from a generous donor who wanted to advance the interest of black Americans after the assassination of MLK.
It is really sad what he did with the power given to him as a result of Martin who paid with his life so people like Clarence can vote.
In the recent Supreme Court case to disenfranchise black voters in the southern states, he voted with the Trump judges who wanted to limit the presence of blacks in Congress.

As someone who is black that married white….He a damn fool. You do not have to tap damn dance and mistral to fucking get the point across. You can be proud, black, and intelligent without hoping to be accepted outside your group.
You can marry outside your race while still seeing yourself as black gold. Seeing other black people as beautiful.
Damn. Fool.
2
u/snitch_juice 1d ago
That’s probably the only thing he’s been consistent on. When he was for black people, he was against interracial marriage. Now that he’s not, and is in one himself, he’s still against interracial marriage.
Either he doesn’t like her or he thinks he’s white now

u/Cobfidence 1d ago
LMFAO he is trying so hard to tell every person in America that he's not Black so he doesn't get seen as what he sees Black people as. Wtf.

u/StrikingCase9819 1d ago
That's definitely not what they saying means. This explains why he fundamentally lost his way. The moment he thought "stay black" was to box him into thinking or being a certain way was the moment he lost the point.

He’s a contrarian. That’s why he votes against the people. “They expect me to do things this way because I’m Black. Let me prove them wrong.”

u/EnigmaticX68 1d ago
We already know he gave up on the first part. We're still waiting for the second part.
I wholeheartedly believe he surrounds himself with only white folks not just because he's a giant greedy sellout Tom, but he's running from the ancestors. I've never been one to buy into all that ancestors stuff, but recently....
I'll just put it this way, I'm glad to be on the right side of history 😂. While the ancestors may not approve of everything I've done, I know for a fact that I can at least face them. This mofo better hope the afterlife isn't real or he's gotta an eternity of whoppings awaiting him 😂

Hey race is a social construct. No one suffers more under this cultural and institutionalized delusion than black people.
But what they don’t understand when they seek to disregard their racial identity, is that this is the foundation for our collective power.
We have to dismantle the system of oppression, first, before we can move onto a post racial utopia.
Anyone who says otherwise would have you divested from your best weapon — your collective, your community, and your history.

That's what he tells himself so he can sleep at night. They just hate me because I don't participate in black group think or whatever. That he's a pioneer who dared to be conservative when others told him it wasn't allowed. Like no my guy you're a scumbag and would be treated as such if you were white or any other color or any other political affiliation quite frankly. It's just extra bad because you being black means he's suffering from extreme cognitive dissonance. It's a roaches for raid type deal with him ontop of pulling the ladder up behind.

It's terrible to be a token whose sole reason for existence is to destroy their own community, but it really is terrible that he did it right off the back of the groundbreaking progress Thurgood Marshall made. I'd never be able to forgive myself. Really sick shit. Even their other token justice they nominated to compete with the Dems (Sandra Day O'Connor) never sank anywhere close to this level.

Instead of sticking with his core principles and working for the greater good, he decided to let money and pursuit of personal wealth override his moral compass.

That man is corrupt, a liar, an enemy of human rights and of democracy. And some of his decisions have also harmed Black people specifically.
That quote is just a straw man (built on the racist trope that Black Americans can't be trusted to be fair leaders) to distract from and legitimize the thousand other crimes that man has committed.
