Is this the actual quote? "but rather to assert my right to think for myself, to refuse to have my ideas assigned to me as if I were an intellectual slave because I'm black."
I wanted to use what you claimed as a Clarence Thomas quote but when I searched for verification of it, all I could find was your made up one, and that you have been trying to create it here at FR for 7 years worth of posts.
You can't just make up quotes like that.
refuse to have my ideas assigned to me as if I were an intellectual slave
Get over it.
