Clarence Thomas, a Supreme Court Justice who benefited from affirmative action and the Civil Rights Movement (attending Yale Law School through affirmative action, and having his opportunities enabled by cases like Brown v. Board of Education and Sweatt v. Painter), has faced significant criticism from Black Americans for voting to dismantle the very programs that opened doors for him, including the Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act of 1965, leading to accusations that he has 'closed the door' behind him for future generations.

“Clarence Thomas BEGS Black Americans for Peace After Public Backlash”Added:
Clarence Thomas said it's hard for him to go out in the public now. Um, he was like without basically somebody bothering him.
>> [laughter] [gasps] >> May his boss never never have peace. Look it up. Here's a guy who by his own admission, and there should be no shame in this, by the way, uh, got into Yale Law School because of affirmative action. He apparently is ashamed of it. So much so that once he became a jurist on the courts, um, he decided his first and foremost obligation apparently was to help usher out the very programs that had opened the door for him. I'm not sure how to think about that except to believe that that is someone who does not have a problem with the system of white supremacy that marginalizes other black folks as long as he got his, and he got his, and then he got out, and basically said, "That's it. We're done with that."
>> But you going to burn in hot fiery hell.
You You will burn in hot fiery hell for that because what you're doing is disenfranchising people of your same hue, sir. What is the justification for that? The Constitution should never be something that is interpreted word for word without the idea that black people would one day be liberated. Now, Clarence Thomas is what they call from constitutional law scholars a strict constructionist. That means he wants it to be interpreted word for word, letter for letter. Whatever the framers meant, whatever they wrote, he wants to interpret it in that very strict way. The problem is Clarence is a been on the bench. He would not have been on the bench Oh, happy day. Oh, happy day. When Jesus walked I signed this petition so fast, like Speedy Gonzales. Like five people DM'd this to me because they know the type of time I'm on. This is an anti-Clarence Thomas agenda account, officially.
>> What's up, guys? Welcome back to the channel once again. Now, guys, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, he is coming out and complaining that he cannot get out and have a peaceful walk.
He's saying that he's being attacked whenever he's getting out. And guys, right now, many people in America, especially in the black community, are criticizing Clarence Thomas heavily because of some of his decision on the Supreme Court. A lot of people feel like the same opportunities that helped him rise in life are the same opportunities he later helped remove for others. And that it is the reasons to why majority of black Americans, they are coming out and attacking Clarence Thomas. Right now, Clarence Thomas is not having a peace of mind. So, kindly guys, I want to watch these compilations of videos, then I'll be back with more comment.
Clarence Thomas said it's hard for him to go out in the public now. Um he was like without, basically, somebody bothering him.
>> [laughter] >> May his never never have peace.
Because, sir, after you have basically closed the door on every ladder that has gotten you to where you are, may your ass never go out and have peace. My good day.
Okay?
Because you aspire to be something that you will never be. And baby, I wish the back then y'all would have listened to us cuz I remember telling my aunts and uncles and things, believe Anita Hill.
If they would have believed a black woman, baby, we would have never been here. WE WOULD HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE.
Because I swear to God, the way that man has kicked down anything that is helpful to black people all because he hates himself is wild and crazy. And then does things he deserves peace as he has been caught doing the things that he has been doing financially sitting on people's yachts and whatnot.
And baby, they don't love you. They don't like you. They just like the fact that you have helped them dismantle the things that they feel black people do not deserve to have.
I'm still on land no less.
>> [laughter] >> And you thought that telling folks that you can't go out in the public eye and whatnot and it's just hard for you was going to make somebody feel sympathy?
My good >> [sighs] >> Cuz what you mean? Clarence Thomas said the ultra-conservative black white supremacist Supreme Court Justice voted against affirmative action and the Civil Rights Act while benefiting from both.
Now, why is that important? Because now that he's helped dismantle the Civil Rights Act, Trump has said he's now retroactively going after those who hold degrees gained by affirmative action.
So, two things to that. One, that case now has to go in front of the Supreme Court in front of Clarence. So, if he agrees to this, he is stripping himself of both his degree and his position on the bench.
So, I just can't wait to see how this plays out. The Clarence Thomas has zero haters. That means I've been wrong by a PT Cruiser. Because Clarence Thomas should have never been a Supreme Court Justice. Had we listened to this black woman, he would have been in the back of a police car and not on the bench of the Supreme Court. In 1991, Thurgood Marshall retires from the Supreme Court.
Big Bush says, "Hey, we need a black and a Republican to replace him." Who does he pick? Clarence Thomas. The Senate Judiciary Committee sent a subpoena to a black woman in Oklahoma named Anita Hill. But why? Well, in 1981, Clarence Thomas is working for the Department of Education. In 1982, Ronald Reagan gives him a job to chair the EEOC. In all three of these years, he had a black woman named Anita Hill working up under him. And in all three of these years, he sexually harassed this woman. Anita says that for 3 years, Clarence begged her to go on a date with him, would bring up his manhood in the workplace, would talk about his pubes, and things of that nature, would talk about explicit films, all in the workplace during the 9:00 to 5:00. Anita came in to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee to tell her story. The only problem is the people she was testifying before were 14 white men, and they weren't trying to hear anything she had to say. Frankly, a lot of their line of questioning was disrespectful. Anita, what was the most embarrassing of all the incidents that you have alleged? You testified this morning about the most embarrassing question involved the subject of women's large breasts. That's the word. Are you interested in writing a book? It is appropriate to ask Professor Hill anything any member wishes to ask her to plumb the depths of her credibility. You are not now drawing a conclusion that Judge Thomas sexually harassed you.
>> Yes, I am drawing that conclusion. Well, I understand. Anita tells her story in excruciating detail. Clarence responds and calls this nothing but a high-tech lynching. And that was it. Clarence Thomas still becomes a Supreme Court Justice. Anita Hill goes back to her life as a professor at Oklahoma State.
She receives death threats, and nobody believes her. Clarence Thomas wouldn't speak about this, wouldn't even really deny the allegations until he spoke about it in his 2007 book, My Grandfather's Son, where he called Anita Hill his most traitorous adversary, and said that she was mentally ill. Anita Hill is still alive, still a lawyer, still a professor of law, and I hope wherever she is, that she had a great day today. 72 years ago today, the Supreme Court handed down the decision that is the foundation of every right that black Americans fought for and won in the civil rights movement. But one black man who owes everything to that movement has been his entire career trying to undo it. That man is Clarence Thomas. On May 17th, 1954, the Supreme Court ended racial discrimination in public schools in the case of Brown v.
Board of Education. But it would take another decade to pass the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and a year after that, the Voting Rights Act of 1965.
That movement made Clarence Thomas possible and Justice Thurgood Marshall must be turning in his grave to see his successor destroy it. The Brown case is what allowed Thomas to become the first black student at an all-white high school in Georgia. Another case, Loving v. Virginia, would allow him to divorce his black wife and marry a white woman.
And a third case, Sweatt v. Painter, guaranteed black students a seat at the table of legal education, setting the stage for Thomas to attend Yale Law School. The Civil Rights Movement gave Clarence Thomas every opportunity in his life. Even his current job as a Supreme Court Justice came because of affirmative action. And how did he repay that debt? By spending decades on the court dismantling the very laws and policies that made his life possible.
Just in the past few weeks, he voted to allow two southern states, Louisiana and Alabama, to take away majority black congressional districts. All skinfolk and kinfold. Clarence Thomas is 77 years old, spent almost half his life, 35 years, longer than any of his colleagues, ruining our lives as a Supreme Court Justice. He's the poster boy for why we need term limits on the Supreme Court. And he's one more reason why we can't sit out on any election because the people elected are the people who select and approve the judges with lifetime tenure.
How sad that on this solemn anniversary, one of the greatest threats we face is from a bitter black man who forgot where he came from. If Clarence Thomas isn't an Uncle Tom, then why did he shut the door that he used himself to get to his position for millions of black people across this country? Because by revoking the 1965 Voter Rights Act, he has done exactly that. He has basically burnt the same bridges that he used to get to his successful point for everybody else that's in the same position that he was once in. So, my question still remains, is Clarence Thomas considered an Uncle Tom? What I do know right now is that he is more voting for his class than his culture because his class is that of the 1%. He believes that he's a part of an elite group rather than remembering the culture that brought him up. Now, I can't speak to that culture, but I can respect it and I still can't imagine that someone of that culture would then burn the bridges to that helped him get to where he wanted to go for millions of black people across this country. How is that possible and why isn't there a battle cry asking for his resignation for the what he's done to his own people?
>> look it up.
Here's a guy who by his own admission, and there should be no shame in this, by the way, got into Yale Law School because of affirmative action. He apparently is ashamed of it so much so that once he became a jurist on the courts, he decided his first and foremost obligation apparently was to help usher out the very programs that had opened the door for him. I'm not sure how to think about that except to believe that that is someone who does not have a problem with the system of white supremacy that marginalizes other black folks as long as he got his and he got his and then he got out and basically said, "That's it. We're done with that." I think if you look at his rulings and particularly if you contrast his behavior as a judge and as a justice with the man he replaced on the court, Thurgood Marshall. You know, it's very interesting to see that one of the greatest jurist in American history when it comes to civil rights and when it comes to human rights and progressivism, was replaced by one of the most reactionary justices because George H.W.
Bush knew that you had to replace the black justice with another black justice. He didn't want to replace him, however, with the black justice that had a connection to the movement, that had a connection to the struggle. So, he found one that had no connection to the struggle and if anything was ready to spit on the struggle. at what Clarence Thomas has said in these voting rights cases. He is perfectly prepared, apparently, to uproot the Voting Rights Act of 1965 because he thinks, as do many of his white colleagues, that we can trust the states that have a history of racism to just do everything right, which of course is absurd. The only reason they've been doing things right lately is cuz there's a law in place that forces them to do things right. And as Justice Ginsburg said, to say that you can get rid of that law just because it's working right now is like saying that I don't need my umbrella when it's raining cuz I'm not getting wet. not getting wet cuz you got an umbrella.
That's why.
Keep this in mind.
This name right here is a threat to everything that is black and that's black built in this country.
Did you guys see the movie Django?
That is who this person is. They are the biggest threat to all of us and everything that people like Martin Luther King, people like um all of the philanthropists in the world, everything that's built on black, this person hates that.
And the same door that he came through, he wants to close it behind all of us or all that's coming behind him.
In legal, as a judge, as an attorney, all of it. He wants to lock all those opportunities that he had from all of us.
By far, the biggest threat. Share the video. Now, guys, one thing that stand out in this whole conversation is how emotional people became whenever Clarence Thomas is mentioned. This is not just about politics anymore. For many people, especially black Americans, this feels personal. A lot of critics believe that Clarence Thomas benefited from the civil right movement, affirmative action, and law designed to help black Americans gain access to school and opportunities that were previously closed off because of racism in America. People point out that they attend attendant yellow law school and later rose all the way to the Supreme Court. Critics argue that the very system that opened doors for him is the same system he later voted against once he gained power. That is why many people uh keep repeating the phrase that he closed the door behind him.
Now, whether people agree with that or not, that's the frustration many Americans are expressing online right now. Another reason to this issue keeps growing is because Clarence Thomas is not just any politician. He is one of the most powerful judge in America.
Decisions made by the Supreme Court affect millions of people for generation. So, when the court makes decision involving voting rights, affirmative action, or civil right, people take it very seriously. Many critics compare Clarence Thomas to the late Thurgood Marshall, the man he replaced on the Supreme Court.
Thurgood Marshall was known for fighting segregation and supporting civil right.
Because of that comparison, many people expected another justice who would continue pushing for policies they believe protected black Americans.
Instead, Clarence Thomas became one of the most contro- uh conservative justice on the court. That difference alone created a lot of anger and disappointment. Then there is these there Then there is the issue of affirmative action. This became a huge national debate after the Supreme Court rule against race conscience admissions policies in college. Supporters of the ruling say school should uh should treat everyone equally without considering race. They believe admission should only focus on grades, achievement, and merit.
But critics argue that America still has deep inequalities because of history, segregation, and discrimination. They believe removing affirmative action hurts mi- minority students who already face disadvantage.
And because Clarence Thomas supported ending affirmative action, many people felt betrayed, especially because they believe affirmative action helped him in his own journey. Another major reason people bring up is bring up his name is because of the old controversy involving Anita Hill. Back in the early 1990s, during Clarence Thomas Supreme Court affirmative hearings, Anita Hill accused him of sexual harassment. The hearing became uh one of the most famous political controversies in America history. At the time, many people felt Anita Hill was not treated fairly during the hearings. Critics said the panel questioning her was dismissed was dismissed and disrespectful.
Even today, people still bring her name up whenever Clarence Thomas trend online. Many believe she was ignored while others still defend Thomas and say the accusation were never proven. That debate has never really disappeared.
Another thing making people angry is the belief that powerful people in America are protected differently from ordinary citizen.
>> [snorts] >> A lot of Americans feel frustrated because they see politicians, judge, and wealthy elites involved in a scandal but still remaining powerful. That creates distrust in institution and leadership.
And when people already feel economically stressed because of inflation, housing cost housing cost, and political division, emotion became emotions become even stronger. Some critics also argue that Clarence Thomas no longer relate to ordinary Americans.
They say he he lives a wealthy and privileged lifestyle that is very different from the struggle average families face every day. That perception make people even more upset when court decision affect working class community. Now, to be fair, >> [cough] [clears throat] >> they also believe critics attack him more harshly because he does not politically align with many black activities or library groups. And honestly, that is what make this topic so odd so divisive in America. People are not just debating law anymore. They are debating identity, race, history, power, and loyalty to community. One thing that One thing that's clear is that Clarence Thomas has become one of the most controversial figure in modern American politics. Whether people admire him or criticize him, his impact on America is under undeniable. His ruling on voting rights, affirmative action, and civil rights will continue shaping the country for years to come. Now, at the end of the day, this conversation shows just I just how divided America has become politically and socially. Some people see Clarence Thomas as a man who stayed true to his conservative beliefs, no matter that criticism. So, kindly guys, you can also share your thoughts.
You can also share your thoughts in the comment section. Tell me what you think about how right now we are seeing that Clarence Thomas is coming out and complaining that he's getting attacked because of the decision he made. And you can see right now majority of black people they uh they felt that Clarence Thomas betrayed them because he closed the door that helped them. You can imagine after using that door, you close the door so that the others cannot come uh come in.
And that it is exactly what Americans they are feeling. They are feeling betrayed, and they don't want somebody like that. And that's why they are canceling uh Clarence Thomas. So, kindly guys, you can share your thoughts in the comment section. I'll be reading it on my next video. Thank you so much, guys.
See you on my next one. Bye.
