Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas has been imploring his colleagues for decades to gut a crucial part of the iconic Voting Rights Act that prohibits practices denying Blacks, Hispanics and other racial minorities an equal right to vote.
This Uncle Tom, Steven Candie, house n***** is a first degree motherf*cker
His early career arc is kind of bonkers. He was one of only a small handful of black law students at Yale, and graduated with honors. But he had trouble finding a job after graduation, because the racist mid-70’s law partners thought he only got his law degree because of affirmative action. He ended up blaming Yale for giving him a worthless degree, when he wouldn’t have gotten into Yale at all, no matter how talented he was, if it weren’t for affirmative action.
If he had blamed the systemic racism in the profession instead, we might have had a very different Clarence Thomas.

Bro is a failed Catholic priest candidate. His entire life is trying to uphold the systems of oppression, it is maddening.
