And why choose Uncle Clarence? He was not the first "brotha" to obtain Justice status. Do you remember Justice Thurgood Marshall [1967-91]??

If anything, Clarence Thomas owes US. If is was not for the laxing of funding for education in this country, his ass would not be sittin' up there a SCOTUS, NOW.
And if you can donate to Obama do so, after reading this.

Yes, you can if his problems result in him abusing your aunt, cousins, other relatives or you. I once told my paternal grandfather that although I was related to a first cousin, I did not consider him to be part of my family. Black folks like to forgive too much even if the transgressor does not apologize, repent or make restitution to his victims.

As much as I want to psychologize Thomas, I have to respect his right as an individual to make his own way, and hold his own political views and alliances.
Indeed, there were freed black folk back in the days of slavery that advocated slavery, kissed up to money, and were allowed extensive priviledge within that slave, white supremacist society.
It takes all types to make the world go round, however, using democratic mechanisms, and solid arguments I believe that it is possible to convince the majority of humans that way of equality and human liberation is something worth striving for.

And since when has Thomas, Powell and Rice "wielded global power"? Thomas is controlled by Scalia and The Unholy Trinity of Rumsfeld, Wolfowitz and Cheney undermined both Powell and Rice. That's not wielding power, that's being a puppet!

Justice Thomas doesn't fit into that category, as his nomination to the SC was to replace another black justice.

pretending friendship and brotherhood with the rabbits." Like Thomas; When Black-White Conservative alignments occur, Black Conservatives becomes a liability to Blacks
and ab asset to Whites. This puts Black people in serious danger.
