Because Clarence Thomas will not worship at the altar of the NAACP, they paint him with the brush usually reserved for Hitler or bin Laden or other enemies of humanity. They use broad strokes, in order to minimize his role as one of the highest arbitors of the law of this land. They belittle him. They treat him as if he were the worst form of leper, and try to exile him to an intellectual gulag.
They try to sentence others to this same gulag: Ward Connerly, J. C. Watts, Jesse Lee Peterson, Niger Innis, and many other black conservatives, whose only crime is that of free thought.
After all, we are 'too dumb' to think for ourselves; not only that, we are so dumb that we have lost our way and 'allowed' ourselves to be led by those who have nothing but contempt for blacks and other minority groups.
Feh.
I have told people regularly that Liberals would never teach black folks how to get rich (Could you imagine Ted Kennedy or Dick Gephardt telling you how to make money?). Conservatives not only do teach people how to become rich, they tell the secrets they use to do so quicker!
Show me the money, any day.
How ironic, and how tragic it is that the race-hustlers seek to marginalize and demonize them....
Yeah, I can hear Teddy teaching someone how to bootleg whisky like his daddy did.
