I expect Condoleezza Rice is also on the shameful "ignore list".
Thomas, Sowell and Williams are three of my favorite people.
My dream is to go camping and find out that Clarence Thomas and his wife are parked next to us in their RV.
I’d love to share a campfire with him.
Alas, I’m a tent camper, so I expect the dream will never be realized.
I’m reading Thomas’ “My Grandfathers Son” right now. The man is a national treasure.
None of them own pimped-out Escalades with spinning 22s.
And where's the bling?
And the theme "Blacks who openly love America and freedom" is obviously an unworthy one.
To be “fair”, I’ll bet Williams and Sowell are hardly known by anyone outside us political junkies who read columns.
Thomas should definitely make it.
How is Ben Carson treated? Boy does this man deserve it. I’m biased having been touched by his talents.
That a person’s brand of politics determines whether or
not they should be included in this museum tells me
that I need not bother to enter the building. If this is
truly a progressive nation then someday people will be
shaking their heads at the exclusionary policies and
those who enforce those policies today.
We had to pass that monstrosity on our last visit to DC monuments. Yeck, and where it’s located to boot emphasizes the ugly.
Our damn schools better not think about going there.
Besides the fact its very theme is PC, I’ll never set foot in there knowing they leave out conservatives.
Asked to explain Thomas’ absence, the chief spokeswoman for the Smithsonian said, “The museum’s exhibitions are based on themes, not individuals.”
Justice Thomas was left out because His Court Rulings Weren’t BLACK Favoring Enough.
I have that same dream...we have a trailer...it COULD happen, but I’d likely just be a babbling idiot in his presence.
When it’s your time to “Cross the River”, you’ll join him at the Campfire in Sky.
I read a story a few years ago. Thomas was on a plane and struck up a conversation with two high school age boys in his row.
When they figured out who he was, they made a command decision and invited him to speak at their graduation. He accepted.
It is shameful the racism exhibited by liberals in this country that great thinkers like these three men are shunned based solely on skin color and political mindset.
One of the most influential books to me has been Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell. 600 pages of economics and no charts or graphs, just simple explanation. I refer to it often.
Based on themes and not on individuals. What a bunch of BS.
Should say ‘based on lies and not on truth’.
This is a politically correct way to express the "theme" that "Uncle Toms" are not included.
That begs the definition of the label, "Uncle Tom".
I believe the black community defines a black person who abandoned the "victim mentality" indoctrination and took the decision to accept the consequences of their actions as an Uncle Tom.
As in 90% +.
I appreciate the value to the country of Clarence Thomas and to some extent the value of Walter Williams.
However, the value of Thomas Sowell's contributions put him in a separate category, that of a "National Treasure".
And whatever happened to Alan Keyes?
These people are not genuine blacks. Their success (not as rap singers, pimps, or sportsmen) is an insult to the black leadership.
