    Love him? No. That has to do with who he is as a man.

    Love the fact that a black man who grew up poor was able to take advantage of programs to help poor black people due to their systemic mistreatment and rise to that level of power? Absolutely.

    I wonder why you brought up Clarence Thomas and not Thurgood Marshall?

      telling everyone that race should always be ignored.

      I am a great admirer of the people who pull up the rope after they’ve climbed the wall and let all the others get eaten by the tigers.

      Seemed like sarcasm to me and Clarence is all about pulling the rope up behind him.

        Sorry, your reply was also meant as sarcasm? My apologies.

        Although I think Thomas (and what he tries to destroy) is exactly why Hughes is wrong. And why conservatives like him should be glad he’s wrong due to their getting Clarence Thomas because of trying to address systemic racism even in small ways.
