Clarence Thomas: Northern liberal elites more racist than southerners

Associate Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas said Monday that people today are more race-conscious and politically correct than ever before, and that he has endured far worse treatment at the hands of northern liberals than supposedly racist southerners.

Thomas, who is currently the only black member of the Supreme Court, made his remarks on race during a speech at Palm Beach Atlantic University...

"The worst I have been treated was by northern liberal elites," he said. "The absolute worst I have ever been treated. The worst things that have been done to me, the worst things that have been said about me, by northern liberal elites, not by the people of Savannah, Georgia."

Sounds like the old lech is still bitter about his Senate confirmation hearing. Who gives a fuck what he says.

He constantly disses the hard fought for programs that gave him the opportunities he has had and never expresses any gratitude for the movement leaders who gave so much, often including their lives, to bring some degree of equality. Translation: Broke-Dick Piece of Shit.

He was put on the Court as a replacement for Thurgood Marshall who turned over in his grave with the appointment.

Clarence "Uncle" Thomas is demonstrably the least qualified person ever to sit on the Supreme Court- and he's got some pretty tough competition for that distinction. He would make Justice Holmes gag.

He's an loud-mouthed asshole. And an uneducated idiot. And, as Spaw says, a Broke-Dick Piece of Shit.

Fuck him. And ShitWringer along with him.

Right Goofus, Thomas climbed pretty high with the help of Affirmative Action and other programs that MLK and others fought for in the civil rights movement and then at every plateau attempted to pull the rope up behind him. And heaven forbid that his deranged wife should ever be Prez.

The dislike that many people have for Justice Thomas is indeed a matter of "the content of his character" rather than "the color of his skin." His chronic sexual harassment of female aides and co-workers (remember Anita Hill?) did not endear him to many people of ALL colors, including other blacks.

This, along with his political views—very conservative. Among other things, he is a staunch fan of Ayn Rand and an avowed "Libertarian." Which is far different from "Liberal."

He was nominated to the Supreme Court in 1991 by George W. Bush.

The content of his character AND his political beliefs. This is why he is disliked by Liberals in general, not limited to the north, and elite or otherwise.

NOT the color of his skin.

You liberals kind of prove Thomas's point, don't you? Slather on that abuse.

I don't like the man because of his views on jurisprudence. While most of you were apparently drooling over the salacious aspects of his confirmation ordeal, I was concerned with his bullshit about "natural law"--you kind of know natural law when you feel it. From a man being considered for the Supreme Court.

Back to your liberal elitist trashing now.

People say the oddest things, regardless of their position in life and government. Fortunately, mos people just ignore the odd stuff. The people who distribute the odd statements and attach newcmeaning to it ore the more dangerous folks. (IMO)

Liberal and proud of the fact. It, after all, is the position of all the great world leaders who actually improved the lot of the people in general. Like the Founding Fathers, and people as far back as those who forced King John to sign the Magna Carta at Runnymede. See history!

And I'm elite, too!??

Gee whiz! Who'd a thunk it!??

=======

Clarence Thomas favors the aristocracy, the privileged, and the wealthy, to the detriment of ordinary people. In addition to that, he is a chronic fanny-patter with any female subordinates.

I don't care if he's black, white, or green with purple polka-dots, by any standard of decency the man is a louse.

I decided to have a look at the site that Songwronger linked to in the first post.

I'll betcha that Clarence Thomas never used the phrase 'northern liberal elite.' I bet he said something about some people up north treating him worse than people down south.   The liberal part and the elite part came from the columnist, who has an ax to grind.

It is not breaking news that some people in the North are prejudiced. It's too bad that the prejudiced people get a lot more media attention than those who are not prejudiced.

When you look at a news item, you should look at two things - what's there, and what's not there.

What's not in the account of Thomas' speech? Any direct quotations. When did you last see an account of a notable person's speech that had no quotation marks in it anywhere?

Probably Thomas never said the things Songwriter quotes, and y'all are getting all worked up over nothing. Stop being some hack's assistant troublemakers.

Cute, Leenia, except for the fact that Uncle Thomas has said the same sort of thing MANY, MANY times before. WITH quotation marks. Its compeletely in character - or lack of character- for him.

Probably why all Q can do is make nugatory comments.

leeneia, there were direct quotations from Thomas. Wronger provided one in the original post. What the "hack" didn't do was provide a quote of Thomas charging the "Northern Elites" with racism.

I guess I wasn't clear enough when I pointed this out before. Sorry.
