Libs really, really hate black conservatives. Here's my theory as to why:

Blacks currently vote overwhelmingly Dem. When election time comes, this fact makes the job of Dem politicians and organizers very simple when it comes to black neighborhoods. Just turn out the vote. Have rallies at black churches to Get Your Souls To The Polls, send buses and vans into black neighborhoods to round them up, do whatever it takes. Just get as many blacks to the polls as possible. Because virtually every black vote is a Dem vote.

If blacks become bipartisan, it gets a lot harder. All of a sudden, libs have to figure out which blacks to turn out. This would require a huge investment of money and personnel. It might not even be possible. Dems can't afford to have the black community become politically competitive.

Clarence Thomas actually was born with a force field that repels every lib within a 500 ft radius of him. Like libs will just fly backwards if they attempt to cross the force field barrier. Some libs actually burn and shrivel up and turn into a tiny pile of smoking ashes.

There was a thread on gamefaqs about the "n word exception" regarding Clarence Thomas.

A bunch of them disagreed, saying under no circumstances was it ever appropriate to use that word, even against Thomas

But a bunch of them literally thought it was ok to use the n word on Thomas. These were antifa level libs

Their real issue is that Thomas "ain't Black." Blackness in the lib world isn't a race, it's a whole package of goods — you must be a good comrade and stay on the plantation to be accorded the sacred status of blackness. Thus reduced to tokens and totems and syndicated into a memeplex, the thoughts of actual blacks, live, don't matter.

'But hur dur that Justice Thomas is getting uppity! Married a white woman but impious of the lib weltshaung that grants him permission to live!'

It galls.

They absolutely hate black conservatives. Look at how they react to Candace Owens.

Because Blacks belong on their Plantation. When one gets out, all hell breaks loose. It's funny libs aren't MAF at nearly the same level towards the other white SCOTUS justices who joined the opinion

The 95 IQ answer is “libs are the real racists” and while there’s probably no one in the history of the country who has been called Uncle Tom more, that’s at best a very reductive way to think about this topic. I suspect most of you are too old to remember the confirmation hearings as I’m barely old enough. The context for them was really the first public consideration of sexual harassment as a problem that needed to be addressed. There were like stray LA Law episodes or the like in the late 80s, but Anita Hill was a massive inflection point in the US public consciousness and discourse.

https://www.history.com/.amp/news/anita-hill-confirmation-hearings-impact

He was taking Thurgood Marshall’s seat and was a blatant AA hire. ABA qualification was seen as much less partisan at the time and he got a “qualified” rating but with some dissenters, and that made him look shitty in comparison to most of the justices who had gone on the court in the prior 20 years. He had also been a judge for barely a year, was perceived by feminists as having gutted the EEOC and was a vocal AA opponent, so he came off as a hypocrite and a betrayal of Thurgood Marshall’s civil rights legacy and there was plenty of talk in the press about how much Uber cuck GHWB and his even cuckier AG were worried about him as a nominee. So he was already coming into the confirmation weak and this was a time when Bork getting blocked was still fresh in the public’s memory. Dems had a massive majority in the senate by today’s standards, but 11 Dems voted for him, so it was seen by feminists and civil rights groups as a betrayal and a disingenuous fig leaf of diversity optics to cover up for what the anti-Roe and anti-civil rights elements in the GOP wanted. It was definitely understood at the time as a nominating process that did a lot to worsen the already rapidly devolving trend of the court being more politicized.

The interesting counterfactual is if Biden doesn’t let the hearings turn into a circus and he’s approved more or less without incident, does he become as conservative. I’m pretty sure he does but I also think the left perceives him as bearing a grudge and therefore worse than he would otherwise be, and that’s probably bc he still bitches about his confirmation hearings all the time.

This is a complete whitewash of the Dems' very active role in politicizing the process.

I mean Bork was the politicization of the process. You might sympathize with GHWB and team trying to deal with that context but it’s not really debatable that politics/optics were the only reason he was their pick.

I would guess that if Clarence Thomas had an easy confirmation hearing he would have started out conservative and slowly moved left, like Roberts (or Souter who moved way left). Instead he bears a grudge and gets more conservative over time.

Nah he was pretty conservative in the 80s. He seems to be authentically and genuinely pro individualism and freedom in a roughly libertarian sense.

i disagree because, imo, thomas has been logically consistent from the start. moreso than scalia, or anyone else on the right. people might not agree with his thinking, but, it's a coherent system, imo.
