This two bit, self loathing, sycophantic, white supremacy apologizing, uncle ruckus, benefited from race-based preferences throughout his entire career, yet sided with conservatives to overturn affirmative action. Clarence Thomas was admitted to Holy Cross in 1968 in part because the school was actively looking for Black students. He was admitted to Harvard Law School in 1971 right after it adopted a “race conscious“ admissions policy, but chose to go to Yale at the exact moment it created its first explicit affirmative action program with a goal of 10% minority enrollment. Thomas was one of 12 Black students in the class of 175. His application was evaluated separately and he received special consideration because he was Black. When Thomas left Yale he was hired by John Danforth, the Attorney General of Missouri. Danforth admitted it was because he was seeking to have a diverse office and that Clarence Thomas was hired because he was Black. Thomas left Danforth’s office to work for Monsanto at a time when the company was looking to hire Black lawyers. He went back to work for Danforth when he was a US senator and was looking to diversify his staff. He then went to work for Reagan’s Department of Education and was offered the job in part because he was Black. He then became chairman of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, a position that six Black women turned down before he accepted it. His entire career was a result of affirmative action. This man epitomizes hypocrisy and has always been an enemy to Black progress in this nation. #SCOTUS #AffirmativeAction
