In his separate concurring opinion to overturn Affirmative Action, Clarence “Uncle” Thomas acknowledged explicitly that he personally benefitted from it. Earlier in his career, he noted that the difference between the first half of his life, struggling to rise out of poverty, and the second half of his life, had been Affirmative Action.
Apparently, the guiding philosophy of Clarence has become, “I got mine, to hell with anyone else,” as he hurries to pull up the ladder of his success before anyone else has a chance to ascend it, and rushes off to his next exciting holiday in exotic luxury paradises funded by his billionaire BFF Harlan Crow. You know, the one who has statues of Nazi heroes in his garden and collects Nazi paraphernalia (including a first edition of Main Kampf signed by the author) who only became friends with this unlikely African American best friend seven years after he got a spot on the high court, to replace the first African American justice, Thurgood Marshall, in what was clearly another act of Affirmative Action to fill the “black” seat.
Republican hypocrites who whine the loudest about forgiveness of federal student loans are among those with the highest levels of PPP loans forgiven:
