Clarence Thomas rebukes Brown v. Board of Education ruling, saying, "it was a serious overreach"

[WaveMolecules]

We going party when this piece of shyt dies.

him and trump. im excercising and eating right so i can see the days.

By none other than George H.W. Bush

both sides

So the evidence shows that the Democrats could have kept him out of office, but 11 Democrats decided to vote yes on him, giving the Republicans the numbers they needed to place this poison pill on to the Supreme Court.

We as a people have to see the entire picture and not just the picture we are told to pay attention to. If the Democrats were of one accord on the issue of his candidacy, Clarence Thomas would have never been a Supreme Court Justice. They had the numbers to deep six his him, but again 11 choose not to. There is a lesson in this for us, and I suggest the lesson is that those who are suppose to represent our interests need to be vetted better than what we have been doing in the past. We can't just assume that a D next to the name means that person actually represents the desires of the people they claim to want to serve. So more needs to be done than just voting Blue no matter Who.

you are right but clearly he was nominated by a R and voted in by the Rs. Most dems voted against him.

what people seem to forget is that on a NATIONAL level, i.e. PRESIDENT, you have a binary choice. Blue or Red. Anyone who denies this is an idiot.

if you want to get into the weeds of change, vote in local primaries.

theres a reason PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES go to west bumble fukk Iowa to eat corn and pander. primaries matter.

So he's a coli poster but with power and influence

I thought you were exaggerating, but besides all the "Black nationalism but I'm down with conservatives" shyt, he literally would insult black women for being seen with a black man.....until he married a white woman himself.

And he's addicted to porn.

And he literally founded the "I prefer my white supremacists to be open" wave. This paragraph was wild:

"[Racism] has complex and, to a certain degree, undiscoverable roots.' Not knowing its beginnings, we can’t know its end. The most that can be hoped for is that whites be honest about it. Honesty is demonstrated through crude statements of personal animus or intellectual suggestions of racial inequality. Dishonesty is demonstrated through denial of one’s racism and sympathetic extensions of help. Dishonesty lulls black people into a false sense of security, assuring them that they are safe when they are not."




This paragraph is crazy too:

"Thomas came to believe that, for the white liberal, offering help to black people was a way to express the combined privileges of race and class. This is a running theme of Wright’s “Native Son,” in which Bigger Thomas, a poor black man from the slums of Chicago, is given an opportunity to rise when a wealthy white family hires him as a chauffeur. The idea that black people can advance only with the help of whites is anathema to Clarence Thomas, who has identified with Wright’s protagonist throughout his life. For him, white benevolence denies black people the pride of achievement."

"The second way affirmative action continues white supremacy is by elevating whites to the status of benefactors, doling out scarce privileges to those black people they deem worthy."


So what the fukk is Harlan Crow to him then?

"No Black person should get help from White liberals. We need to stamp out every form of affirmative action and white benevolence, it's too demeaning. Also, I'm going to have my entire lifestyle funded by this racist rich white conservative man. But that's different."

The issue isn't that the current situation is bad per se. The issue is that presidents appoint federal judges, including Supreme Court judges. They're voted on by the senate and generally pass, although in recent years the process has become more partisan. Here's what this looks like in practice:

https://www.uscourts.gov/sites/default/files/apptsbypres.pdf

(the Biden numbers are outdated. He has passed 200 appointments)

There are active federal judges right now who were appointed by Reagan in the 1980s. So when you see that Trump number for instance....most of those judges will be around for 40 or 50 years, actively working against the interests of black people, while also building a body of work that might get some of them nominated for the Supreme Court one day. Which means that a president's influence and power can have long reaching consequences over decades of our lives by changing how lows are interpreted, who benefits from them, and who doesn't benefit from them.

My point is simple: I'd rather have democrats appointing justices than republicans. Democrats have appointed more judges since the 1990s and I'd like to keep it that way. The republican response to this has been to ensure their judges funnel as many cases up to the Supreme Court as possible, where conservatives have an advantage/majority. Which is how you end up with things like the Voting Rights Act getting slowly shredded over the last decade, or how the Brown v Board and the Civil Rights Act might slowly be shredded in the (near) future. I'd rather appoint judges who will protect those things (and others) for the next 40-50 years. Like I said I will not tell people who to vote for. I'm merely stating why I vote, and why it's important.

THANK YOU.


Both siders please read this.

dont let "Genocie Joe" propaganda FOOL you. these republican devils know exactly that theyre doing. they appeal to your emotions. Vote blue.

PS fukk Joe Biden he aint shyt. but 4 more years of Trump is not acceptable. youre not voting for Trump or Biden the person youre voting for the courts as welll.

And what have the appointed dems been doing, ain’t no way they didn’t see this outcome coming

I see what wave you're on now. After I point out a few obvious things our convo on this will cease.

We are in unprecedented levels of political abuse. Nobody saw it coming. From the Founders down itwas expected that the system, via mostly sane voters, would keep the ship.running smoothly. With 45, sane voters took a break.

As far as Dem justices, they can't do much without a majority. And can't put a stop to something that.....clear your brain cells out.....isn't in play in the first place.

You're being a clown right now. So our convo in here is finished.

 

[Dameon Farrow]

A former president is legit spreading the lie that the raid on his home(which he wasn't even home for) was an assassination attempt.

It's at the point now where it's about to be a neg war on these obvious bot/troll/blackfishing folks.

Alot of us tend to hold on this beliefs like this, but rarely to this degree.

That we are strengthened through suffering. Its lowkey a holder from slavery, based on Christian scriptures. And this isn't a knock on the religion, just an observation.....being the religion of the oppresssed and suffering is the only reason Christianity survived in Roman times. Most of the other competiting Jewish sects and cults of personality failed to stick around because they were hostile to outsiders and avoided martyrdom.

But those statements of his are all pride. His solution to us having the deck stacked against us is to further stack the deck.

He missed the message and we suffer because of it. c00ns are dangerous.

This damn case in particular is showing us how important having credible judges are to maintaining the system.

Aileen Cannon has been a bad actor in this case and I'm hoping it's the push needed to get her off of this case.

You mean further stack the deck for everyone else. But never for himself.

Remember, he got a full scholarship on special sponsorship to join Holy Cross, affirmative action to Yale Law, appointed to Black-coded positions by Reagan (Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission), was selected to the Supreme Court explicitly because Bush was looking for a Black man to replace Thurgood Marshall, and now takes in millions of dollars in gifts from White conservatives.

He's never once considered giving up any of that, and he keeps taking more and more, but he wants to deny those same opportunities to everyone else.

Good interview in his own words of where is misguided thinking comes from.

I can just imagine him on the phone with her begging for stuff. We know he's wreckless.

I just finished Cassidy Hutchinson's book. Great insight to just how cultlike it was in the trump white house. To her credit she came around and testified. And that's appreciated.

But if you compare the way she discussed the trump white house to folks that were under say David Koresh? No difference.

Yeah he is being beyond selfish. It's mind blowing. But those conservatives paying him are putting that in his ear, too.

Thing is, a segment of white america that hasn't been vocal like that until now feels the current system is broken for them. When it was everybody else struggling it was alright. So swoop in 45 but really the tea party is where it kicked off. Wokeness! The border! Blm! Obama! Obama drove these folks rabid! Plain old racism and bigotry. I dOnT lIkE hIs PoLiCiEs.

Gave them targets for their anger and they jumped at it. They would rather it all burn to the ground. So you get Jan 6. You get unwavering support for somebody who they would have laughed away in the 80s.
He is the Great White Political Hope.

But they aren't enough. And they never were.

 

[Ghost Utmost]

You treacherous, Trump supporting c00ns.

Uncle Thomas is your role model.

These MAGnAzis are returning America to 1940. Bold face racism and sexism. And any form of discrimination.

And you traitorous, treacherous c00ns support this madness.

Real Brehs don't forget.. besides misguided and corrupt Black folks, on the Coli you have disinformation bots that aren't even Black spewing this shyt too.

If you're on here cosplaying as a Breh then a little bit of props to you for being an effective agent.

If you're real live Breh and you enable White Supremacy.. I hope you find Black Jesus and repent.

Documentary I mentioned. Actually pretty good. Worth a watch.

So far its good im watching it now.

 

[Gritsngravy]

You mean the appointed Dems on the Supreme Court? They're outnumbered 6 to 3. What could they have done?

Democrat appointees haven't had a majority on the Supreme Court since 1970, primarily due to that 1968-1992 stretch where Republicans controlled the White House for 20 out of 24 years due to White backlash against Black Civil Rights (so much for Democrats supposedly doing that for votes). The Clinton/Obama years had them coming back a little, but Trump's election set them back again.

Ok if that’s the excuse dems going to run with then alright

Imo they should’ve seen this coming and should’ve been proactive about it, especially since black voters been one of they strongest bases but yet they let them destroy AA

I just don’t like this rhetoric of voters not voting enough when dems had opportunities to stop shyt before it even happened

It really makes me believe they ok with the bullshyt to
