Clarence Thomas probably considers himself to be an honorary white man.
RV Quisling will do anything for that sweet white supremacy fascist money.
Supreme Court generally: ‘Racial gerrymandering is illegal.’
Republicans on the Supreme Court in 2018: ‘We can’t do anything about extreme partisan gerrymandering so go ahead and have your legislatures choose their voters and cut up federal races to cheat.’
Republicans on the Supreme Court in 2024: ‘Remember when we said you can gerrymander for partisan gain but not with races? They are both the same now–or we just can’t tell the difference–so go ahead.’
> “It’s just kind of bizarre that 30 years into this, he suddenly decides that he has been wrong all along,” Stephanopoulos said. “He was wrong when he originally supported the creation of this claim.”
What a hateful clown Thomas has become
> Stephanopoulos said Thomas’ idea that federal courts should stay out of redistricting disputes “is an unbelievably undemocratic, anti-democratic idea.”
> “It’s basically saying that courts will do nothing to police one of the most distortive anti-democratic practices that exists in American politics,” he said. “Thomas would return us to the world before 1963 when the courts got involved in this area, and it’s just kind of staggering that he would openly take such an anti-democratic position.”
🤦
Anita Hill was right all along about what a depraved POS Thomas really is. Too bad America wasn’t listening to ‘Me too’ in the ’80s.
This mf-er. This mf-er is doing exactly what he was paid to do.
Anita Hill was right. She was trying to save us. And so was Christine Blasey Ford.
I’d love to hear anyone talk about how this, and how a politicized Supreme Court, is NOT the beginning of the end of our democracy
So when Dave Chappelle did the skit about the blind and black KKK member, was Thomas the inspiration?
I am guessing Chappelle’s character was blind because Thomas pretends to represent “blind justice”?
It’s fucking criminal, is what it is.
He got his.
We need to go back in time and help Clarence Thomas make some black friends.
The Uncle Ruckus trying to get into white heaven.
If the republicans hadn’t dine this in nearly every state they control, one might think it was possibly partisan gerrymandering, but, at some point a lawyer will gather together the new maps from Little Rock, Jacksonville FL, and all of the other urban areas where they used the same strategy to split the black vote and defeat any possibility that they can elect anyone every again… that lawyer will find a coordinated plan coming from some Texas and Virginia folks I believe, which, because of its original inclusion of opposition to consent decrees from the 80’s and 90’s but later separated, because consent decrees specifically settle the racial question along racial lines to prevent the expense of lawsuits and rectify the unfairness that minorities will completely lose their ability to have any majority minority districts…. VOTE to expand the court people. Thomas does not identify as a minority….
This decision was all about widening the window that they claim is “too close to the election”. The supreme court is trying to make it so that you have zero time to contest illegal maps. This is why you got a 6-3 vote with the liberal justices voting against. Yes Thomas is a shit. but don’t be distracted from the long term damage this ruling is doing.

Thomas hates black people
I suppose the real problem with Thomas, Alito and the other conservative justices is how do we get the public especially the youth to understand how dangerous they have become? How much damage they are causing to their future and the possibility of collapsing our nation. The black community should especially be worried about Thomas and his recent comments wanting to push them back into segregation. This is only one of the important reason to support Biden over Trump and it’s scary how many people don’t see this danger.
