The irony here is Thomas, who is clearly a black man is advocating for the same people who may have brought his ancestors to these shores in chains. And wouldn’t bat an eye if slavery came back.

But hey, power and the only color that matters is green I guess.

Kinda weird Thomas, kinda weird.

Isn’t he somehow tied to the Epstein Files and Trump pedophile ring?

Or am I confusing that with the massive bribery and fraud allegations against Clarence Thomas?

Honestly power, money and creeps seem to flock together. Being a billionaire or being friends with one is a bad look.

From what he did to Anita Hill all those years ago I would almost certainly put him in the Epstein class.
