Is this man aware he is black?
post
Seems fair, as progressives would describe Thomas as a threat to America.
Corrupt hack should eat shit.
Nothing more pathetic than a man who hates himself so much that he's willing to take his whole race and country back four centuries just to feel superior. Fuck you, Clarence.
Black man resents equal rights, news at 11. Clarence Thomas is the epitome of "fuck you I got mine"
A spirit of “cynicism, rejection, hostility and animus” toward America – by Americans – has taken hold, Thomas said in remarks carried live on CSPAN.
Progressivism means Americans criticize America because they are interested in making it better. Conservativism refuses to criticize America because it has no interest in making it better.
And that's why conservativism is ultimately so pathetic. To fix flaws you have to admit to them, and put in work to change your own habits and the world around you, both of which are hard. To refuse to acknowledge flaws is easy, and you don't have to fix anything about yourself or the world. It's a fundamentally infantile, weak way of existing.
When I see people with Thomas' opinions, I think, "Well, there's a child whose mind just got older, but never grew up." It's incredible to realize, as an adult, just how many of the "adults" around us fit that model, and how much power they often end up having.
Conservativism refuses to criticize America
Convservatism criticizes America all the fucking time. Anytime anybody in America gets a little too "woke" for them.
Small but very important distinction:
They criticize Americans. They think (or act that way for the cameras) that America is perfect and everything is preordained. That is a point of faith, not-coincidentally - criticizing America elicits the same defensiveness as criticizing their religion. Any issues are with flawed Americans misinterpreting the grand plan of the Founders (as if they didn't also disagree with each other) or God, but nobody gets away with trashing "America," except Trump whose believers instantly recompile it to mean "America-as-long-as-it's-run-by-democrats-and-women-and-non-whites-and-woke-ideology."
This is why conservatives routinely separate people into "real Americans" versus everyone else.
Progressivism means Americans criticize America because they are interested in making it better. Conservativism refuses to criticize America because it has no interest in making it better.
I'd just like to add that freely and openly criticizing your country, its government, and its leadership is the founding ideal of America. It's rich that he brings up "the premise of the declaration of independence and hence our form of government" as if exercising freedom of speech is not the cornerstone of both.
Fuck off and die already
You do realize who would appoint his replacement, right??
Amended sentiment: Wait for Dems to retake Congress in the midterms and then fuck off and die.
"We cannot elect a new judge in a election year" such obvious tactics. Annoying it worked for gop but never against them
Supposedly I'm not allowed to condone these things I'm not willing to condemn, so we can't talk about how he ought to die.
Biden ran the Senate judiciary committee for approving Thomas and buried Anita hills testimony on Thomas's sexual harassment, after promising Hill time to speak. Yet another win for the centrists that keeps on giving all these years later. That fiasco alone should have sunk that aipac idiot's chances at the vp and then president spots. And it is one of innumerable outright idiotic fuckups of Biden's career.
This right here, this Clarence Thomas BS, is the inevitable result of centrists philosophies.
Man who 100% benefitted from progressive policies in his youth seeks to pull ladderup behind him. Tale as old as time. Hell, he said he used a Carnegie library before desegregation.
This fucking hump belongs in prison, and so does his treasonous bulldog wife.
If he doesn't understand the definition of "progressive", he is not mentally competent to be a judge at any level.
Fucking, 30 years of bad headlines from this one POS.
WHERE THE HELL ARE THE:
term limits/ votes of no confidence/ calls for impeachment/ efforts to reform the Judicial/ ... The adults?
I was ranting about this the other day, I'm afraid that most people, at least most Americans, are not good enough at standing up to authority for America to fundamentally work as it is supposed to. Some jobs, especially in politics and law, inherently require a pathological John Adams-like willingness to be a problem for the whole ship to stay afloat.
Progressivism seeks to replace the basic premises of the Declaration of Independence
What?!? The central idea of progressivism is egalitarianism, or to put it another way, All Men Are Created Equal..... What kind of an RV or Private Island retreat paid for this ironclad legal and historical reasoning?
Well if he is so against progress, we can get him to start picking cotton again
Yeah Thomas has done about as much harm to black people as anybody living. He's incompetent and undeserving of his appointment.
His last name is Tom. I wonder if he has any nieces or nephews.
Came here to express the exact same sentiment. The ol' boy can start tomorrow if he means it.
How nakedly partisan of him. Completely unbecoming of a judge. What an embarrassment.
The biggest piece of trash to ever disgrace the Supreme Court and a failure of a human being.
"America is the land of opportunity for one thing and one thing only: capital. Its why we believe in Capitalism. Communism? No, Community is evil. Socialism? No, Socializing is evil. Progressivism? No, Progress is evil. Environmentalism? No, the Environment is evil. Welfare? No, Wellness is evil."
He knows progressivism will undo his life's work.
Well, I'm a Land Back lefty, so yeah... I definitely do think America and its values should fuck right off.
All of these right wingers are so fucking weird. Apparently, Thomas likes to talk about the porn he watches with other people.
If this guy thinks its a threat, its probably where you should be putting your energy.
How does someone this out-of-touch with political philosophy, end up a Supreme Court Justice?
delivered a televised broadside
I know everyone is up in arms on his content (I am too), but did I miss something with a Supreme Court Justice going on TV like this in the first place?
Edit: Ah it was at a speech to the UT School of Law.
He's actually a moron, completely misinterpreted Woodrow Wilson, like not even close to what Wilson was actually writing about.
he's not a moron, he's evil. this is intentional twisting to fit his agenda.
That's right. Thinking is a threat of america. Don't think, just pray and obey. You will do what your masters tell you and nothing more. They'll tell you what to think. What to say. How to dress. How to get plastic surgery....
Insanity that this is a supreme court justice.
Hey, Uncle Thomas, progressivism is the reason you're sitting on the Supreme Court and cruising around in that RV instead of picking cotton in some cracker's field.
Fucking idiot.
Using science including research and facts to direct social policy is a threat to White Nationalism, Neocons, and Neoliberals. Not so much for everyone else.
Kind of funny though, because I was just thinking a week ago about when they are going to start actively demonizing progressives again.
There wasn't a fucking independent country until the Declaration of Independence and we were only onboard with the idea because of "hostility and animus" towards King George.
He's free to find the descendants of the people that enslaved his ancestors and enter into a life of involuntary servitude again; it's a free country.
