Do you really have to ask? Especially after observing him for how many years now? He got one of the lowest ratings by the ABA and was approved only after the Bush administration pressured the ABA to give him a mid-level rating and went after them as partisan. A lot of pressure, and I suspect that the ABA was also reluctant to turn away a black nominee.
Race matters but it seems to me that Blacks are being cast as marginal members of society if there are laws designed exclusively for them, and that would include affirmative action laws as well. Anyone who believes Black people need special laws or attention designed exclusively fr them has to believe in racial inferiority as well. You cant have one without the other.
I think Black people would feel far better about themselves and their culture if they knew that the playing field was level, just as it is for others and just as many successful Black people have demonstrated.
self-hating, not terribly bright, slave mentality themselves trying to please whites? there are many possibilities ... can't tell, not enough data ... What does it say about the folks they're talking about?
Would people in wheel chairs feel better about themselves if they had to use the stairs like everyone else? and, yes, blacks would feel better if the playing field was level ... the point is that it isn't, so we have to try to level it in numerous ways, just as we did for white women with affirmative action (they were the primary beneficiaries of it) ... this doesn't mrean one believes in blacks' inferiority ... rather it means that one believes racial discrimination exists
What exactly is blacks' culture?
so all Blacks need to be democrats other wise they are Uncle Toms?
You are a racist
A very reasonable question. What are your thoughts?
Yes, I have to ask, because his service on the SCOTUS has been quite sound.
lol so predictable cant address the message cant discredit the message so attack the messenger
your a racist for thinking if a Black Man doesn't agree with Liberal policies if they don't tow the line they are self hating, Blacks are not allowed to think for them selves they are not allowed to realize they are slaves on the democratic plantation
Racial discrimination certainly exists if the laws are different for one race than another. In fact that's the essence of racial discrimination. Justice Thomas was not alone in finding this wrong. There were four others who decided the same way.
In fact some of the worst examples of racial discrimination, and hatred, have been against Justice Clarence Thomas but he has few, if any, liberal defenders.

you think he's doing a good job ... I rest my case ...
No. What gave you that idea? But when you're black and you vote to gut the voting rights act, don't be surprised if someone calls you an Uncle Tom.
His written opinions generally get very high marks, even from those who disagree with him. You would profit from more diversity in your reading.
It wasn't "gutted" it was sent back to be updated with current statistics so it makes sense.
Grant, I don't know how else to explain it to you ... let me think about it and I'll try again later ... have a good night ...
Need to teach you a bit of grammer(spelling intentional). You used the plural, "libbos". For your edification: Plural - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. Problem is, you meant the singular. "A libbo", not "libbos". This is why you should pay attention in school.
Thanks for your offer, Windowdressing, but rather than an explanation for laws favoring different races, perhaps you can outline your support for their worthiness. I cannot see how racist laws have improved conditions for Black people in the United States but am willing to be proved wrong..
Really?
Talk about off ****in' topic......
That's the collected wisdom of Head - always accommodating.Incredible! Thank you!
they know what the House Republicans are ready to do (and not do) ... it was gutted my friend (but I'm not giving up hope completely) ... we're already seeing what states are doing ... just saw a report that Texas came up with a voter suppression plan aimed at Latinos that the feds stopped, but now they can go with it ... according to the state's own stats, what they have planned will affect 4% and some change of whites and over 10% of Latinos ...
It is humorous how any effort to ensure people are eligible to vote is deemed 'suppression' by the left. Please tell me why it is wrong to validate eligibility?
You and I know what they're up to Woodman ... the GOP knows it is in trouble given the demographic changes that are taking place -- voter suppression is one of the few choices they have ... Texas's voter I.D. law was barred by a federal court in 2012 because it would curtail the ability of minorities to vote, but now they can proceed ... we'll see how all this plays out in the long run ... I think the GOP is being shortsighted ...
Definition of UNCLE TOM
1. A black who is overeager to win the approval of whites (as by obsequious behavior or uncritical acceptance of white values and goals)
2. A member of a low-status group who is overly subservient to or cooperative with authority
How is this racist again? Oh I get it, if progressives point out the truth about how racism messes with the mind of people like Thomas, it's racism. Denouncing the effects of racism is racism.
Jesus, conservatives are dense.
It is only a silly statement to those who disagree with the premise---If a black man acts like a white man and does not honor his own people, he is considered to be an Uncle Tom---so, like I said..if it quacks like a duck, it is a duck....It is certainly not the first time that Clarence Thomas has been called an Uncle Tom.....
... i am required at many times to provide identification before obtaining services for various things far less important than voting. I would not hesitate to provide it at the polls and never understood the objections to doing so. and you didn't answer my question.
