The WVAS talk show was trying to discuss interracial adoption. But the conversation quickly deteriorated when a call came in from Alabama State Rep. Alvin Holmes.

I will go down there and mortgage my house and get it cash in 20 dollar bills and...

Supreme CourtJustice Clarence Thomas can add another insult to the list of things “liberal elites” have attacked him for: his marriage to a white woman.
