#UncleThomas, even in the 21st Century, things had not really changed all that much, except the grift and the humiliations had become grotesque. How much longer could he endure?

One can't be a #Republican today w/o being a #racist (and yes, I'm including black & Hispanic Republicans.)
We see black Republicans like #UncleThomas who resent every gov action that helped him get where he is, and Tim Scott who thinks his mere existence disproves racism.
But "Mex'cuns" & "Mus'lims" are seen as mortal threats. Blacks are "thugs." "Build a Wall™" & "#AR15's for all" (no license or training required.) Murder someone in cold blood then just declare #StandYourGround.

Justice #UncleThomas ruled that if a company refuses to build your gay wedding website, you can always find a Separate but Equal firm to build your site. 🤔
Some troll just accused me of "misrepresenting" #UncleThomas calling the #Constitution "colorblind" b/c he's referring to it "post 14A".
I say, No. That's just stupid. Clarence actually once argued (~2012) that "racism is over" b/c we had elected a black president.
Look around today. Does anyone think "racism" is over? Thanks to #TheOrangeMenace, I'd argue it's worse than ever.
(And calling me "a Russian Troll" only makes you look like an idiot.) 🤦♂️

#UncleThomas on #AffirmativeAction: calls the #Constitution "#Colorblind".
SERIOUSLY??? The Constitution that declared people like him to be "3/5ths of a man" and refused to outlaw #slavery was "colorblind"? Is he out of his knucking mind? 🤦♂️ #ThisWeek

I encourage every Progressive business #UncleThomas enters to deny him service (and cite their religion as justification.)
"My religion... #Pastafarian... disapproves of serving anyone we consider morally objectionable."

Arguably, 50+ years ago, #AffirmativeAction was a "quota system". It played a part in how #UncleThomas got into Yale and why he resents it so much.
But TODAY (or should I say *before* today), it was used merely as a "tie breaker" to account for what a minority student had to overcome just to reach that point.
It angers me to no end when people like Mike Pence cite #MLK's "content of their character" quote out of context to make it sound like THEY are the ones ending #racism. 🤬

MSNBC explained last night WHY Justice #UncleThomas despises #AffirmativeAction and has opposed it ever since he was a Yale law student:
It was b/c he felt the white students believed the only reason he got in was b/c of #AF, and had difficulty getting a job afterwards b/c of the perception.
Problem is that IT WAS PROBABLY TRUE IN *HIS* CASE 50 years ago. It seems clear to me he WAS less qualified and probably got in only b/c of #AF.
But that is NOT the standard TODAY. https://www.msnbc.com/alex-wagner-tonight/watch/end-of-affirmative-action-checks-another-box-on-list-of-long-term-conservative-projects-186013253633

#UncleThomas, once the beneficiary of the most overt example of race-based admissions I can imagine, will probably be among the Supreme Court’s majority in the next few weeks when it is expected to strike down the use of affirmative action in college admissions. https://www.bostonglobe.com/2023/05/29/opinion/clarence-thomas-was-beneficiary-race-based-admissions-my-school/

Do you really think Clarence Thomas is the only SCJ that Crow owns?

A Billionaire Bought Property From Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal - similar to how #Russian #oligarchs overpaid for one of Trump's properties.

Billionaire Harlan Crow Bought Property From Clarence Thomas. The Justice Didn’t Disclose the Deal.
In 2014, one of Texas billionaire Harlan Crow’s companies purchased a string of properties on a quiet residential street in Savannah, Georgia. It wasn’t a marquee acquisition for the real estate magnate, just an old single-story

Are #Republicans labeling anyone they dislike Soros-owned?
There’s a lot of projection!

Would the phrase, #UncleThomas be an appropriate portmanteau to bestow upon our corrupt member of SCOTUS?
American Family Dysfunction
in Black & White
Two of the most objectionable relatives any American could have:
Uncle Thomas and Auntie Bellum.
Their “union” — Black self-loathing and White lunacy — wouldn’t have set well with the Confederacy, but their politics would’ve warmed Jefferson Davis’ racist heart.

So, if Justice Thomas is found to have violated the ethics rules, and is impeached for it, and is convicted, and removed, what effect, if any, does all this have on any of the decisions he has participated in during his tenure on the court?
