An Open Letter Denouncing the Attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas

An Open Letter Denouncing the Attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas


"White progressives do not have the moral authority to excommunicate a black man from his race because they disagree with him.


And those – regardless of background – who join in the charade or remain silent are guilty of enabling this abuse.


We, the undersigned, condemn the barrage of racist, vicious, and ugly personal attacks that we are witnessing on Clarence Thomas – a sitting Supreme Court justice. Whether it is calling him a racist slur, an “Uncle Tom” or questioning his “blackness” over his jurisprudence, the disparagement of this man, of his faith and of his character, is abominable.


Regardless of where one stands on Justice Thomas’ personal or legal opinions, he is among the pantheon of black trailblazers throughout American history and is a model of integrity, scholarship, steadfastness, resilience, and commitment to the Constitution of the United States of America. For three decades Justice Thomas has served as a model for our children. He has long been honored and celebrated by black people in this country and his attackers do not speak for the majority of blacks.


He is entirely undeserving of the vitriol directed at him. Character assassination has become too convenient a tool for eviscerating those who dare dissent from the prevailing agenda, especially when it is a black man who is dissenting."




This is not about the content of the court’s decisions or Justice Thomas’ personal views; some of the undersigned agree with his judicial decisions and some do not. We speak out – as black people and Americans – to condemn these attacks and support Justice Thomas, because to remain silent would be to implicitly endorse these poisonous schemes as well as his destruction.

[RoomService]

I heard this on Joe Madison show this morning.

You should have done a poll on who would’ve signed it from the board. There were some valid points made.

 

[arnoldwsimmons]

Damn near every name on the list is either a conservative, republican or far-right zealot. One of the signee's was Janice Rogers Brown, who was in the running to replace Justice Breyer. Just think if she sat on the bench, instead of a 6-3 conservatives majority, it would now be 7-2. The letter said, "he is among the pantheon of black trailblazers throughout American history." The only trailblazing he did was to assist in setting back the advancements for blacks and civil rights for years to come, and that's not even mentioning the harassment of Anita Hill.

Not really...lol.

And of course the usual suspects from the coon patrol cosigned:

Alveda King, Larry Elder, John McWhorter, Niger Innis, Jason Piglock, Ward Connerly, et al

Fuck Clarence & and erry lass one of them names on that list.

Where was the lie? You not black if you don't vote for Joe? *Edit* Nevermind, it doesn't matter anymore. The Democrats are in a tailspin and the bootlicks won't be offered parachutes. A toothless party outside of social media. Carry on...

Facts.

Too many of you woke militants have been giving a pass to CACs and the media to say borderline racist shit to this man - some of the same people will defend black degenerates.

ward is a name I ain't heard in years. He ain't dead yet?

What the fuck are you talking about!?! This fool wife was on that Jan 6 bullshit squad! Let's be clear ALL OF THAT STOP THE STEAL SHIT WAS MADE UP! Nobody said anything about Biden. Being conservative is one thing, but rolling back people's rights, talking down shit like a affirmative action is just some self-hating shit! That nigga is disinvited from the picnic! Nobody is gone stop anybody from being black, but you not going to stop black people from being like "fuck that coon ass nigga." It's just the way it is and if you don't get that, then it's a fundamental level of understanding that you need to get up on. Real talk.

 

[ronmch20]

Fuck that Judas. I just hope I'm alive to see him carried to his grave.

 

[World B Free]

Never defend a coon....

 

[BKF]

Facts.

Too many of you woke militants have been giving a pass to CACs and the media to say borderline racist shit to this man - some of the same people will defend black degenerates.

I guess many if not all of the names on the list are woke militants who gave passes to cacs while they called (and probably joined in on) Obama and his family all kinds borderline and outright racist shit..

 

[LordSinister]

Y'all are rooting for Clarence the Coon?

 

[HeathCliff]

I guess many if not all of the names on the list are woke militants who gave passes to cacs while they called (and probably joined in on) Obama and his family all kinds borderline and outright racist shit..

^BOOM^
That’s why I say fuck every last one of them kewn ass kewns.

You obviously can't read.

 

[HeathCliff]

ward is a name I ain't heard in years. He ain't dead yet?

That was Joe Madison’s reaction when he read the list of names. Lol

 

[peterlongshort]

Never defend a coon....

And never co-sign a white person calling a black man a coon.

 

[blaze]

You obviously can't read.

Bruh, if you don't have a point, then just don't say shit. I can obviously read. Your point was some bullshit. Stop putting shit in OAN talking points and look calling everybody else sheep. Here's the real clue: The way you can tell a cat has absolutely nothing worthwhile to talk about? They start call people names. As soon as I hear that shit, I automatically determine that you have nothing at all to say.

 

[World B Free]

And never co-sign a white person calling a black man a coon.

Where did that come from? We are Black people talking about other Black People who happen to be coons.....

"White progressives do not have the moral authority to excommunicate a black man from his race because they disagree with him."
That's the very first sentence in the letter. The very first!!!!

 

[BKF]

"White progressives do not have the moral authority to excommunicate a black man from his race because they disagree with him."
That's the very first sentence in the letter. The very first!!!!

So in otherwords it's the white liberal that have black folk calling Clarence Thomas a coon and not black folk thinking/seeing for ourselves that he's a coon.

 

[World B Free]

"White progressives do not have the moral authority to excommunicate a black man from his race because they disagree with him."
That's the very first sentence in the letter. The very first!!!!

Huh? Fuk that Letter, BLACK FOLKs BEEN Callin' Tom-Ass Clarence a COON! U trippin'

 

[Pimpslap Slim]

"White progressives do not have the moral authority to excommunicate a black man from his race because they disagree with him."
That's the very first sentence in the letter. The very first!!!!

That's called "deflecting"
They know good and got damn well it ain't no cac, progressive or otherwise, concerned about whether or not coon ass Clarence is accepted in the black community.
That first line is about the worst part of the whole thing.
In essence tryna say black people need white people to influence and lead them on who is and isn't a disgrace.
Fuck outta here .

Speaking of bootlicking, you just automatically read that gaslighting line as some kind of wisdom, instead of paying attention to his decisions that earned him the name. We who've had our eyes open saw the playbook for what it was back when Bush Sr brought his token ass in to replace Thurgood Marshall.

 

[peterlongshort]

So in otherwords it's the white liberal that have black folk calling Clarence Thomas a coon and not black folk thinking/seeing for ourselves that he's a coon.

Yep. Have at it. Black people have been pretty liberal with the use of the n word but under no circumstances can a white person use the word coon. That and uncle tom, which they've been trying to get away with.

White conservatives, etc.. have been pretty liberal with the N word and many other disparaging words and there was no letter written and signed by these same folks. There was no outrage from the black conservative crew when non conservatives black folk were attacked. So why is it an issue now with these black conservatives and yourself?
Do you remember things such as Baraka Obama the magic negro??

 

[DaSupremeWun]

Fuck that coon and his insurrection supporting wife and most of all fuck all them cacs. Just because he looks like me don't mean shit. Oreos don't have black folks best interests at heart. They are too busy trying to see who can grab the most butter biscuits off of massa's plate.
