I mea Mike Pence grew up in a fairly liberal Democratic household. He was also swayed by the Reagan admin. I don’t think people realize the power that administration had when it came to charming people. It changed so many people. Not for the better. But what can ya say? Reagan was a charming guy. He won by a landslide. Twice. It’s interesting to think where this country would be today without his influence. Where these people would be.
Yeah because race is more important than treating everyone equally under the law. 🙄 No where in this bit of “journalism” did it show that he did in fact get into school or positions via affirmative action. Proof would be showcasing lower test scores or poor interviews compared to his colleagues, while still gaining entry. None of that was here. This is a hit piece, nothing more. And y’all eat it up like milk from the teet of your government and revolutionary lords.
After watching him for years, i do not trust him! We need to suspend judges upon unlawful practices!! This shouldn't be a lifetime post. Thomas is the mouthpiece for the dark money billionaires
how inaccurate this is jesus christ. you made it seem like thomas was groomed by this republican senator. danforth was extremely moderate (i guess by todays standards). he detested any amalgamation of religious and political duties, even though he was a strict catholic, and has outspokenly criticized josh hawley, todays more infamous senator from missouri. on anita hill, she did NOT provide a thorough detail of her experience. her story changed multiple times when questioned by the FBI, and she refused to take a lie detector test. joe biden did not “rush” the process. he voted against thomas to be confirmed, so why as the chairman of the senate judiciary committee would he rush a process that would’ve surely resulted in thomas losing popularity? because it was clear to most given the investigation that there was little proof for hills’ allegations, and her credibility was dwindling. like thomas or not, what it means for a judge to be “conservative” is not the same as a mere politician. thomas has a strict judicial philosophy that, though you might disagree with it, is extremely consistent. the recent ethics concerns are troubling, and i think maybe even damning, but i won’t sit here and listen to this nonsense from people who won’t even bother to read a court opinion.
Understanding Uncle Clarence Thomas, from a distance: First, there's enough out there now in media clippings and documentaries, to piece together who Clarence Thomas was, and is. He grew up poor in a Geechie population, of Georgia. But it appears poverty traumatized Clarence to the point of hatred, radicalism, and activism, towards white people, initially. It also appears however, that he was curiously dead set on, seeking absolute acceptance. And young Clarence found it in religion, studying to be a Priest. But back then, you could probably count the number of ordained black Priests in America, on two hands, and feet. Education was still a primary neautralizing pipe dream, in Clarences future. And even though he more than likely benefitted from the very racially equalizing admissions program he later helped destroy Affirmative Action, Clarence Thomas got into an Ivy League school. But he would experience various forms of rejection there, as well. Acceptance by white and not black people has and is today in my opinion, Uncle Clarences ultimate desire, in life. Now as a mixed race man, I've dated and loved many white women in my life, in addition to several other cultures. And it wasn't because, of skin color. Can't say that I believe the same thing, about Uncle Clarence Thomas. Personally, I believe his dating and marrying Ginni Thomas, had everything to do with achieving his ultimate goal in life. Acceptance by white people. In the Appellate and Supreme branches of Americas judiciary however, Clarence in my opinion became confronted with challenges which made it very very difficult for him, to follow in the great distinguished Thurgood Marshall's pro black, footsteps. And it appears, he did everything he could, to avoid that appearance, to white people. Is it true, that after over 40 years on the bench, that 2024 mark's the first time Clarence Thomas, has hired a black clerk? His Geechie speech setbacks, also prevented Clarence despite his Ivy league pedigree, from gaining absolute acceptance, in white power circles. That's where having Ginni Thomas on his arm helped, I believe. And to say she was another piece in Clarences chess game, well you be the judge. But this could explain why you rarely heard him speak (Geechie speech inferiority) over the years, during oral arguments. We watched Clarence cry real tears however, at his confirmation hearing in 1981, over his alleged pubic hair on coke can comment, to Anita Hill. He had come so far gaining acceptance from white people for this to become a national, embarrassment. I'm sure it nearly killed him. Gaining momentum empowered with the balance of power among his colleagues however, Clarence achieved the ultimate platform, where he could inflict punishment on black people perhaps in his mind, some who may have harassed him over poverty, or speech, by rendering severe cruel opinions on voting rights and affirmative action among others, during his tenure. Today, white acceptance (checkmate?)has given Uncle Clarence the right I believe, to partner in what appears, judicial brands of corruption, which is why the Politico revelations this year, have fallen on the Supreme Courts ethics and accountability, deaf ears. In closing, we know exactly who Clarence Thomas was, and is today. Clarence has achieved the ultimate goal, of a poor black child ashamed of his own race, just like Senator Tim Scott, of South Carolina.
@@ness6578Yeah not like some Republicans smearing 💩 on the walls of the capital on January 6th right? Or maybe you're a fan of pudding fingers Ron Desantis. I'm noticing a pattern with you all come to think of it....
What I hadn't known is that he was barely a judge at all. He had almost no judicial experience (19 months) before he was nominated to the Supreme Court. No wonder he didn't speak from the bench for decades. He was out of his depth.
Fun fact: Did you know that Clarence Thomas is actually a Native American from the Gullah tribe and he didn't learn to speak English until he was seven. Look up the Gullah - Geechee wars. He was also involved in the Black power movement in the '60s and '70s and he was a Monsanto lawyer for 4 years before he became a supreme Court Justice
I don't know this man, just looking him up...but...I was left wing all my life until woke madness, I am a huge fan of Donald and Farage....much more hopeful now. That's not being a traitor, just growing old and wise. Just imagine what decent areas of the world think of us now 😮 Sara 🇬🇧💕💕✨✨🙏🙏🙏💪🇬🇧🇺🇸
Reading many of the comments, appears we have a hard time spending time on learning about people. The literal time it takes away from other priorities in our lives. Preferring the most convenient truth which earned our local community’s acceptance (i.e., what we heard first or what we’ve agreed to now) over the nuanced truth in all its complexity. Who has the time? Who doesn’t enjoy convenience? Who really wants to question their own opinions among likeminded people? Who enjoys changing their identity? It can all but too quickly feel like a lonely world. Thankfully, I’m finding at least, there are good people everywhere. Judge others less, pun intended LOL. Curiously learn from/about others more. I usually find myself stepping back when watching these sorts things, so I thought out loud above, and currently thinking I want to learn more about Clarence Thomas. He appears to have faced and be facing plenty of adversity and leading a very interesting life. Many life experiences that would teach anyone a lot, and basically, that are completely different from my own. It’s irritatingly often a more complicated world than we’d like to live in - not to mention daily - so I choose my battles. Totally good with not knowing what I haven’t learned yet and there’s always new information. Now speaking of time or convenience, as this talk apparently struck another cord that got me thinking albeit not in agreement, much appreciate that you spent time to read my comments here! I hope 2024 treats us well, happy new year!
Thomas got that position, based off one statement! To quote him from the Anita hill trail "I feel, that this whole thing, is a HIGH TECH LYNCHING!" Literally using his whole identity/the painful history of Black people before him, in front of cameras and government to get ahead! Which would have caused controversy, had they denied him his seat! To replace Thurgood Marshall, was such a slap in the face to the work he had done! Let's not forget, even Rosa Parks wrote a whole letter, to the Supreme Court, for him to not be elected. He's definitely a disgrace!
There’s nothing wrong with your beliefs changing over time, but there is something wrong with a man who has a position of power in the highest court of our land accepting money and other gifts from people and not disclosing it. It seems to me like that could present a massive conflict of interest.
This is a crappy analysis. He clearly shifted in his post-graduate years when he met Bolten etc., but it is not clear why. That seems like a pivotal transition period that you glossed over. What happened? How did the people he met shape his shift to the right? What sociopolitical events occurred at that time that caused the shift? Why did he abandon his leftist views? Looking further ahead, what impact did the Anita Hill accusations have on his ideology, if any? Edited for clarity.
Painting such a black and white image of a person is disingenuous to meaningful discussion. It treats the subject like an unthinking automaton. Read some of his Opinions from the court, whether on the winning or losing side, and you’ll be aware that, even if you disagree with his conclusions, he’s a human being who thinks and cares about what is right.
Yes, what is Right. Right wing. He's a hypocrite, a liar, and a sellout. He has turned against his own for money, and hurt others on the way too. He's un-American and a disgrace to the Supreme Court
This is really interesting as it cones off as a left leaning article, but puts Thomas in a place to show who he wants to be around, and a surprise kindness from Samity Sam (whom i am making fun of and now have more respect for). Thomas leaving the church because they were not helping, to trying to help by protesting but realizing he was destroying, his transformation ending when he recieved an unnecessary kindness from an unusual suspect. I did not see that being the narative of the video when i started it.
He replaced his picture of Malcolm X with the poster of a Rolls-Royce now I know you’re full of you know what just make it up stuff. Why can’t you just tell a true story?
Well he’s a honest man I believe from all I’ve seen of him. I would like to know his feelings about mr trump,I’m sure he sees Donald trump differently than most but he still sees him as a business man and a president and a good one, but he sees mr trump as being a patriot for all patriotic Americans, and he knows mr Thomas knows for without love for America and Americans patriots,we wouldn’t have a country called America for very long.
CRAZY to think he was left wing at one point.
He was the original Candace Owens

All about money
In a nutshell: The guys entire career was possible because of his skin color yet when he achieves power he turns against his people.
This is about the dumbest takes I've ever seen.
What a backstabber

You’re weird.
Bro that's racist, you're saying he only got to where is thanks to his skin color? that's racism.
Never would have pictured him in Black Panther attire
All young once .... and stupid 😢
I guess he's above the law, concerning bribes
