Thomas is nominated President George H.W. Bush said he has served on the high court for more than 30 years and is highly regarded by many Americans.
“He finds unique ways to fight against the working class, against minorities, and in the process against the black community he comes from. That’s why Black Americans should not celebrate Judge Thomas during Black History Month. He simply doesn’t deserve it,” Cross argued.
Cross accused Thomas of “aiding and abetting white supremacy in his judicial robes” and “fighting to keep people who look like him from the polls.”
“The reason the black community doesn’t celebrate Thomas is because he does everything in his power to make our lives worse,” she argued. “Black History Month is not the time to glorify threats to black progress. Clarence Thomas has proven time and time again that he is the enemy of black people. Who needs a white supremacist when he’s doing everything he can?”A crime that destroys the very policies that made his career possible? ” she wrote.
Blaze contributor Delano Squires rejected that idea. Tweet“Clarence Thomas is nothing more than an ‘enemy of the black people’ to those who engage in Potemkin rhetoric of black pride that hides deep insecurities behind demands for affirmation from the broader culture. People raised on paternalism and condescension. For some, agency and dignity sound like self-loathing.” ”
