I can remember so so vividly after my Father had a few Bourbon & Coke he would start screaming at the TV calling Thomas every name in the book & then yelling āI believe her! I believe her! But no one else is going to believe a black woman not when white men want this man on the court.āā
But the other statement I remember my Daddy saying was, āhe is nothing but a crook, you can just tell by looking at him, why he is as crooked as a dogās hind leg.ā
My dad in 1991 was a 68 yr old white man from Alabama. Before the internet & Fox News.
"The White Man has been so GOOD to me. He allows me to wear this here black robe a pad laws to help keep them black nigglets from ruining this great white country"
Is affirmative action necessary. I know this is anecdotal, but I live in a red state and I have a great job for 15 yrs now and 75% of the bosses Ive had here are college educated black individuals. While 99% of my fellow workers are white. As far as Obergfell, do you think its best to concentrate power with the federal government?
That is very interesting. Apparently he gained admission to Yale law school through an early race-conscious admissions program. How ironic? Dontcha think? Thanks to that he was set on the path to be a supreme court Judge. But Im sure hes a top legal mind right? Right?
Anita Hill went into detail about his sexual harassment of her during their time working together, he is also completely unqualified for the position and not a rigorous legal mind at all. Not to mention the fact that he has been bribed by the billionaire Harland Crowe (spelling?) to stay on the court because he thinks his contributions are worth far more than his meager government salary. The sad part is that heās right. His particular brand of corporate friendly deregulatory āconservatismā has made a lot of pretty bad people billions if not trillions of dollars.
Havent heard about Harland Crowe, but Im never surprised when I here of people in power being accused of accepting bribes. Anita Hill, I honestly dont know. I am interested in how he is unqualified and or not a rigorous legal mind.
Awwww yes!!! The churchā¦.my Dad was an atheist so now that I am older & I look back at his beliefs, I realize that this is why he was so loving, caring, open minded & had so much empathy for other people & races, he wasnāt filled with all the hate of the love of our Lord & Savior Jesus Christ.
He was! Such a great mind, worked on the first computers in the military & government, they told him they didnāt know if there be a future in it for him. ššššš He was a mathematical genius & one of the first computer science professors.
I had the same understanding with my mom before she was in memory care. The usually kind, well-mannered lady swore like a sailor anytime a "bad guy" was on TV, referring to corrupt politicians. My heart goes out to you and your family.Ā
My dad could recognize if you got him alone and walked him through facts as cited by numerous independent sources that Republicans and the people they liked were terrible.
But when my mom got a list of all the candidates and circled ones with her far-right reasoning that was full-MAGA before Donald Trump ever said "MAGA", guess how he voted anyway?
It was super depressing, dad was coaxed into genuine fascism, but it's his fault for being lazy; I'm not giving him a full free pass.
It's more just "peer pressure to fit in with your spouse is enough to make someone a nutcase", he wasn't really a "watch the news and get brainwashed by Fox" guy.
Your father can tell if a black man is guilty just by ā looking at him?ā Yes that sounds about right. The Racist Apple doesnāt fall far from the Shit Tree.
Ohhhh my goodness, reading comprehension isnāt your strong suit is it? My Father used this same exact expression for white people too, itās not about their skin color, itās about their body language, their demeanor, reading their facial expressions as they testify & coming to the conclusion that of the 2 BLACK PEOPLE TESTIFYING, my father came to the conclusion that the MAN is the one who was lying about sexual assault & the WOMAN, the BLACK WOMAN was the one who was telling the truth & was the one who was honest & trustworthy, Clarence Thomas was the opposite of that. Because you could just tell by watching him during those hearings that he was deceitful, dishonest & a crook, & yes we could tell that by observing him & looking at him!

We should have listened to Anita Hill
