Stephen A. Crockett Jr. - For forty years Clarence Thomas has been an albatross for Black people, an arbiter of "do as I say, not as I do" politics, a mime whose silence on the bench has been deafening. And, he's been all the things he claims to hate about Black people: He's a welfare queen, a duplicitous double agent, a diversity hire, a beneficiary of reparations and a minstrel show.
"For four decades, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has extolled the importance of 'personal responsibility,'" Kali Holloway wrote in her piece, "Clarence Thomas Is What He Wrongly Accuses Black Folks of Being."Hypocrisy thy names are Clarence and Ginni Thomas.
"He has chastised those who 'make excuses for black Americans' and argued there is a need to emphasize black self-help. He has denigrated affirmative action programs on the grounds that they 'create a narcotic of dependency' where there should be 'an ethic of responsibility and independence.' He bemoans the 'ideology of victimhood' that allows the marginalized to 'make demands on society for reparations and recompense.'"
Funny how a man who supposedly despises reparations had no problem accepting handouts from billionaire friends. Thomas didn't put in extra hours at work or find a nighttime job to help put his grandnephew through school. Nope, he took all the free money he could get his hands on. Thomas' admission into Yale was one of the university's first after they created an affirmative action program - the same program that Thomas effectively gutted as soon as he could.
To date, Thomas hasn't been reprimanded for laws he's broken - and make no mistake, he's broken laws. Thomas still has yet to speak in any substantial context about the gifts he's received will serving on the Supreme Court.
But what's most comical has to be Thomas' statement during his vetting for the Supreme Court - the same courtroom drama in which Anita Hill tried to warn America that Thomas had long been an embarrassment to those who came before him - when he claimed that the proceedings were a "high-tech lynching" against uppity Blacks who dare to think for themselves.
Good thing none of that has ever actually applied to Thomas. Thomas isn't uppity, he's raggedy. He always has been. And Hill tried to tell us this, but America doesn't care about Black women. She told us how Clarence Thomas is exactly who we thought he was.
