Reply #16: "odd that this is re-framed as an issue of his being black" ???? [View All]

For someone to sell out his own on every issue that might have helped the African American (and poor of every race and ethnicity), while exploiting his own membership in that race and association with that population to advance HIS own future....? You are surprised his race comes into it? Face it, he was not appointed because of his qualifications.

There were and are countless members of minority races that were immensely qualified, but would NEVER be considered. Thomas was put on that court because it gave the RW "cover" to move in areas that are clearly racist, discriminatory, and in opposition to the best interests of black and other minorities and poor people of all races.
