Justice Clarence Thomas says blacks didn’t think about race in the 1950s South.
By Dahlia Lithwick



"we are probably today more race- and difference-conscious than I was in the 1960s when I went to school.”

 
Segregated drinking fountains in North Carolina in 1950.



"To my knowledge, I was the first black kid in Savannah, Ga., to go to a white school. Rarely did the issue of race come up. … Now, name a day it doesn’t come up. Differences in race, differences in sex, somebody doesn’t look at you right, somebody says something. Everybody is sensitive. If I had been as sensitive as that in the 1960s, I’d still be in Savannah. Every person in this room has endured a slight. Every person. Somebody has said something that has hurt their feelings or did something to them—left them out."

 

Students hold a sign reading "Woodlawn Boycott ... We hate ******s" in downtown Birmingham, Ala., after cutting classes at Woodlawn High School on Sept. 10, 1957. About 100 white students refused to go to school as integration tension plagued the city.



 â€œThe worst I have been treated,” Thomas went on to add, “was by Northern liberal elites.”


 

Sarah Jean Collins, 12, was hospitalized by a dynamite explosion set off in the basement of her Birmingham, Ala., church on Sept. 15, 1963, that killed her sister and three other girls as their Sunday school class was ending.

20. Remember when someone threw a fit over the Clarence Thomas praising the KKK meme last year?

That wasn't parody, people.

What a ****ing disgrace he is.

31. Really where was Slappy living on Mars....

I was a little kid and saw it first hand in Memphis and in Greenville Mississippi in 1965.

Reference to comedian Slappy White?  Why not just call him Eddie "Rochester" Anderson, racist?

Justice Thomas shed his chains decades ago.
The regressive liberal DUmpoCRAPS are infuriated that a black man would be a success without government assistance.
Filthy liberals dictating to a black man, as to how he should bow to their golden calf.
Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

When Thomas was appointed, the Dems were still racists.  Today if he had been appointed with a D after his name, he would be worshiped, just like Obama.

Did the Dummy just suggest some white liberal elites died to end slavery and segregation? Does he forget that Democrats were the party of the KKK?

Maybe Thomas had a thick enough skin and belief in his self worth so those kinds of things didn't bother him. If he says he didn't experience racism in school, then who the **** are they to decide he did? He grew up before blacks were emasculated by "I'll have those n*gg*rs voting democrat for the next 50 years" Johnson's "Great Society". He was able to make it through to adulthood before the left brainwashed them into believing they were victims, second class citizens who couldn't possibly get through life without democrats' handouts. Even the left's white-skinned sycophants refuse to see the pain and suffering they've caused. Yet, the liberal's own college studies show LBJ's enslavement and degradation was the cause of the destruction of black families.

Black men don't have to care whether they have more than one child by different mothers because they don't have to be responsible for them. Their women and children have a government baby daddy who gives them barely enough to exist. Unfortunately this is the only example poor black children see, making it nearly impossible for boys to grow up with a sense of obligation for their "baby mommy" or the children they father. Why should their little girls grow up believing men shouldn't be like this? Their mothers have little respect for themselves. They allow men to treat them like whores and leave them with children to raise. Now black women are getting abortions at an alarming rate. First the left destroys their families, now they're helping to abort them out of existence. Magaret Sanger would be so proud. If they decimate the black population too much they'll lose future slaves. Of course, they have illegal immigrants waiting in the wings so maybe it doesn't much matter.

Even blacks who live in the suburbs in middle class neighborhoods (or rich like Jesse Jackson's children) grow up being taught they're victims so they're entitled to whatever the left tells them they've been denied. Most have this pounded in their heads for generations. They're taught that everyone is a bigot except those that keep them dependent. I hope someday they see it's the left who who see everything through race-colored glasses. They're still the same haters they've been since the glory days when they openly and proudly kept them in chains. Democrats do everything except give them a real hand up. Blacks are so brainwashed, they don't want to see when 0bama took office his party had a veto proof majority. Democrats had the perfect opportunity to increase entitlements enough to allow blacks to move to middle class neighborhoods, to save money, maybe send their children to college or buy their own house. Of course, that would prevent slum lords like Valerie Jarrett from making millions off the backs of poor blacks living in buildings that should've been condemned long ago. Slum lords like Valerie Jarrett get more money out of the government than the poor who live in their buildings. But maybe if I were in their shoes, I wouldn't want to see it either. Who wants their whole belief system to be shattered, to understand the're being lied to in the most cruel and calculated way?

The ones that do get off the liberal plantation are demonized and called vile names (it's the one time even whites can hurl racial slurs). It reminds those still under the thumb of the left they'll be treated the same way if they decide to open their eyes and think for themselves. Oh, and DUmmies, all those pictures you're showing as proof that Thomas' experiences had to be the same as those who were beaten or killed: it was DEMOCRATS doing that. It was republicans fighting to pass the equal rights act. Most of those who went down to help were conservatives (like Romney's father & Charleton Heston). But hey, at least you found a more subtle way of beating them down. It doesn't leave marks like being whipped so they don't even recognize they've been beaten into slavery once again. But you'll never look in the mirror and see what you've done. You'll never be compassionate enough to admit leftist are the real racists.

They really love to type two words don't they?  ****ing, ******s!  It is a mental disorder! They don't know they are racist cause they can't see the forest thru the trees.
"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."
