When Clarence Thomas found the perfect bachelorette, and the couple announced their engagement, they raised eyebrows and blood pressure. This was, however, primarily among those who hadn't met the love-struck pair.

"I can guarantee you I was surprised when I found out she was going with a black man," Ginni Thomas's uncle Ralph Knop said from his farm in Iowa. "It was unusual for us."

"But he was so nice, we forgot he was black," her aunt Opal added, "and he treated her so well, all of his other qualities made up for his being black."

1. "... all of his other qualities made up for his being black."

Talk about a backhanded compliment.

3. He forgot he was a human being.

For years he never said much. I thought he was a robot. Turns out he wad just plotting revenge against the world for the coke can humiliation.

4. "You're different. You're not like all the other ones."

He made a Faustian deal with Raygun who offered him the Chair of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in return for making “reverse discrimination” a thing.

6. Because their default view was that his race made him inferior.

7. Roger Waters said it best

But in the town, it was well known, when they got home at night Their fat and psychopathic wives would thrash them within inches of their lives

I'm guessing that's kind of how the Thomas household is.
