I expect Condoleezza Rice is also on the shameful "ignore list".
Thomas, Sowell and Williams are three of my favorite people.
My dream is to go camping and find out that Clarence Thomas and his wife are parked next to us in their RV.
I’d love to share a campfire with him.
Alas, I’m a tent camper, so I expect the dream will never be realized.
I’m reading Thomas’ “My Grandfathers Son” right now. The man is a national treasure.
None of them own pimped-out Escalades with spinning 22s.
And where's the bling?
And the theme "Blacks who openly love America and freedom" is obviously an unworthy one.
To be “fair”, I’ll bet Williams and Sowell are hardly known by anyone outside us political junkies who read columns.
Thomas should definitely make it.
How is Ben Carson treated? Boy does this man deserve it. I’m biased having been touched by his talents.
That a person’s brand of politics determines whether or
not they should be included in this museum tells me
that I need not bother to enter the building. If this is
truly a progressive nation then someday people will be
shaking their heads at the exclusionary policies and
those who enforce those policies today.
Asked to explain Thomas’ absence, the chief spokeswoman for the Smithsonian said, “The museum’s exhibitions are based on themes, not individuals.”
Justice Thomas was left out because His Court Rulings Weren’t BLACK Favoring Enough.
Based on themes and not on individuals. What a bunch of BS.
Should say ‘based on lies and not on truth’.
This is a politically correct way to express the "theme" that "Uncle Toms" are not included.
That begs the definition of the label, "Uncle Tom".
I believe the black community defines a black person who abandoned the "victim mentality" indoctrination and took the decision to accept the consequences of their actions as an Uncle Tom.
As in 90% +.
I appreciate the value to the country of Clarence Thomas and to some extent the value of Walter Williams.
However, the value of Thomas Sowell's contributions put him in a separate category, that of a "National Treasure".
And whatever happened to Alan Keyes?
I can’t think of ONE REASON why anyone would care what leftist blacks think about anything. They’ve defined themselves as haters of traditional Americans, haters of the American culture, and haters of conservative black Americans.
Creepy folks - Eff ‘em.

Googled for and found the Ebony list and there are a lot of truly worthy names included. Most, honestly, I’ve never heard of and after reading why a few were included, I guess I’m not surprised I’ve never heard of them.
That a member of the SCOTUS is not included and never has been... yeah... hard to work though that without hitting extreme political bias. If you read why Jarrett Hill is on the list, the cause becomes clear.
During a recent episode, Bill Whittle defined ‘White Privilege’ as, “The Gift of not having some else to blame.”
