Clarence Thomas is not Black. He don't count.

I will give you Powell and Rice, but Clarence. He reminds me of that guy on Boondocks who hates his own race

Racist blacks have been saying Clarence Thomas is a sellout for over twenty years but I've NEVER seen actual evidence that Clarence Thomas has done ANYTHING against black people.

Can you point to ANYTHING he has said or done that has hurt his fellow African-Americans?

If he were a rapper talking about killing fellow blacks then he'd be a hero, though (2pac, Biggie, etc...).

If all people (not "blacks" but PEOPLE) were as upstanding and law abiding as Clarence Thomas then America would be a MUCH better place!!

Yea, he hired a few black foreign secretaries. Good for him..and them.

Political-correctness comes back to bite the Liberals in the a$$

Obama's Nearly All-White Staff Creates PR Disaster
An American politician should be able to hire the most qualified campaign staff regardless of race. President Barack Obama might be violating federal civil rights laws due to the complexion of his campaign staff, according to The Daily Caller. The political correctness atmosphere created by liberals might come back to haunt the most far-left leaning president in the nation's history.

Until progressives eliminate the desire for personal responsibility and thoroughly vilify the idea of success, America remains a land of opportunity. Politicians and employer should have the freedom to hire the best person for the job without fear of legal reprisals. Discrimination against a specific race, religion or gender is morally reprehensible, but a staff photo is not necessarily indicative that such illegal actions have taken place. A premium diversity ratio cannot be achieved if minority applicants opt out of the competition for a paycheck.

You have supported using quotas for letting students get into college all along haven't you? Why all of a sudden do you not want that quota thing used. Do you really think that there are no blacks who could do the job or that nobody pays any of them. Pelosi, is all I can say to you about this topic.

Thomas has more black blood flowing in him than Obama does and you say he doesn't count because he isn't black enough.

THEY don't like to see anybody talk about black Republicans. THEY really don't believe that such things exist.
