(And, no, I don't believe "Uncle Tom" is a racist term; otherwise, I wouldn't use it. Derogatory? Definitely so! Racist? No way!)
And to think I had once believed that Uncle Tom had fallen out of fashion for good and been relegated to the dust bin of history! Well, he's been resurrected in all his subservient, nauseating glory!
Clarence Thomas is a traitor to his race, not to mention posing a serious threat to others in the long term as one of the Supremes. He should be given honorary membership in the Ku Klux Klan. After all, when does he ever fail to do their bidding? As a native-born Texan and simply as a human being, I will always hold George Herbert Walker Bush beneath contempt for appointing him to SCOTUS. Even a Jesse Helms type white bigot would be easier to stomach than Clarence Thomas. 
I fear troublesome times are ahead.
