I hate Clarence Thomas

Supreme Court decisions for the 2009 year were handed down yesterday and as usual, Clarence Thomas goes further right than even Rush Limbaugh (a friend of Clarence Thomas), and even made the one dissenting vote on the case of the strip search at a middle school (Thomas said it was permissable for a school to do a strip search, whenever and wherever they feel).

I have hated Clarence Thomas since he came onto the national scene. I revile him. He is a hypocrite of the highest order and a hater of his own ancestry (which is one of my largest disgusts). This man used affirmative action to get ahead, he only got into Yale Law School because in 1971, when Thomas was admitted to Yale, the school was agressively pursuing affirmative action, 10% minority student body. The school also offered him financial aid because of his race. He then was appointed to positions often because of his race, including but not limited to role of Supreme Court Justice.

Thomas has been since his very start, opposed to the Civil Rights Voting Act of 1965 and at ever turn tries to overturn it. This from a man who has trampled on the backs of the very people who got sprayed, beaten and lynched to enact the Civil Rights Act. The man is whiter than white. This is a man who yearns for the good ol'e days...of Hoover (yeah when there were such things as Whites-only lunch counters).

The more I read about him, the more I think he is seriously ill, how else can you explain this "House Slave" mentality? He is always wanting to please "massah," like a modern day age Stockholm Syndrome - his captors are all the white men, i.e. George H. Bush, who gave him power. Thomas has voted or made decisions against minimum wage, the Family Leave act, maximum work hours and at times frowned at certain aspects of the Bill of Rights.

When I think of Thomas I think of two things, one a man who climbed this ladder and see's others at the bottom trying to climb the same ladder and kicks the ladder away and two a man who daily wishes to scrub away the color of his skin. Pathetic.
