On the November 4, 1994 episode of the PBS talk show, To the Contrary, Malveaux summed up her feelings regarding Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas:
“The man is on the Court. You know, I hope his wife feeds him lots of eggs and butter and he dies early like many black men do, of heart disease. Well, that’s how I feel. He is an absolutely reprehensible person.
She is almost in a class by herself when it comes to both colossal ignorance, obnoxiousness and plain nastiness. Her finger-wagging, neck-gyrating, lip-pursing schtick reminds me of the grossest caricatures of Black women from minstrel shows. She makes Whoopi Goldberg look like Harriet Tubman.
