Thomas did more than Okay, he did beautifully and he is 100% right about race, gender, and affirmative action. I know a half dozen men and women who would never have qualified had they not been part of the affirmative action and DC is full of non-qualified people holding positions they have no right to, basically ripping off the public .if government were cut in half today, no one would be missed.
One thing that really pisses Thomas off is any suggestion that he is the ‘black’ SCOTUS justice, or represents the ‘black’ community.
Some idiot at some university I forget now did this about ten years ago as Thomas was being introduced at a commencement speech. He rolled his eyes and shook his head as the introduction was being read.
