Does Clarence Thomas think he's white

[Racygrandma]

Just asking for a friend

[FalloutShelter]

1. No... he doesn't have to

Think he’s white, because he’s GREEN.

The entry to the club is GREEN.

2. He's the Tyrone Biggums of the Supreme Court.

[BlueWaveNeverEnd]

3. Nope..he has a mirror. He just chases after approval and $$ from his friends

[WhiskeyGrinder]

4. how so?

[hlthe2b]

10. How do you perceive him, WhiskeyGrinder and his years on SCOTUS? Just curious...

[WhiskeyGrinder]

12. He's a terrible justice for sure. AND "do you suppose that Black man thinks he's white?" is a pretty gross thing to see

here.

14. As I said, I think he believes he is race-ascendent, but in reality, he is exploitative

of people based on skin color and long ago allowed himself to be exploited by the racist monied class--based on his own professed ideology that race should not be a factor in law or social policy.

Do I agree with you that the question posed, "does he think he is white?" is "gross?' Yes. Do I think he is a special case of "despicable" because of his seeming contempt for those whose race--by way of policy and law-- genuinely has held them back? Yes. Absolutely.

It's very common for people to hold oppressive rhetoric in reserve for those they think "deserve" it, when all that does is tell marginalized people that they will only ever be seen as (slurs) by the wider population, unless they meet certain arbitrary standards.

Clarence Thomas is a terrible person because he's using his power to hurt people. He is not a terrible person "because he's a Black man who thinks he's white." Like, what does that even MEAN.

You seem to be chastising me in your last paragraph even though that is exactly what I was conveying, yet you seemed to feel the need to instruct me on my own sentiment...
Sometimes I misunderstand your responses-in particular, so if so, my apologies. I do hate being misunderstood or misconstrued myself.

[WhiskeyGrinder]

18. It's just a discussion

[hlthe2b]

19. I get that...

But your posts are so succinct they leave far too much unclear and open to misinterpretation/misunderstandings. If that doesn't matter to you so much, then okee dokie, but it is hard to have a useful discussion, debate, or commentary that way. .

5. Clarence and I share cousins and from what I've heard....

He is what you think he is....😐

[Omnipresent]

6. He probably resents being black.

To me, his and trump’s pouting faces look like frogs that just drank sour milk.

Never a natural warm expression or smile on either of their faces. Very unhappy on the inside.

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

7. Maybe. It's been rumored Thomas has a Pat Boone 8-track tape/record collection.

[no_hypocrisy]

8. Like my Jewish father had the delusion that

he was a patrician WASP.

[hlthe2b]

9. Perhaps deluded enough to think he "transcends race." Only made possible by

his voting the way the most opportunist (and racist) monied interests want him to vote. So, I suppose the "green" he craves does allow him to "transcend (exploit)" race. All in how one CHOOSES to perceive it and CONSCIOUSLY IGNORES the IMPACTS on others.

11. He thinks he is

Royalty. And his shit don't stink.

[Ritabert]

13. Well apparently he doesn't acknowledge that Loving v. Virginia allowed him to marry his white wife

[Solly Mack]

16. No.

[Sympthsical]

20. Yet another entry

In the ongoing series in this place of "When there's no virtue to signal, people's true views spring forth."

Today's lesson in "It's ok to be weird and racist if we don't like the person."

Which is probably slightly better than the previous entry I saw, "Jews. How comes they're like that?"

I just hope a gay guy doesn't do anything this week. Then I'd have to sit through people explaining why homophobic epithets are swell if you mean them the right way.

21. Congratulations on your 201st post.
