I was looking for a link to a quote in which he said, "I hate being black."
And what would that prove if that existed?
And would it prove anything if it did not?
Adolf Hitler was a murderous fool. Do any quotes exist of him stating this fact about himself?
I never said Clarence Thomas "hated being black." He does have a complex about his features and skin color, however. This is not uncommon among people who have features that have been demonized and dehumanized, even by those who share some of the same ancestral background. House slaves, who tended to be mixed, always disdained field slaves, who tended not to be. This mentality has not been eradicated from the consciousness of blacks in the Diaspora.

or perhaps you just dislike clarence thomas, and try to make it look like he wants to be white. just my observation.
for the most part. perhaps you are an independent, but you lean very liberal.
Hmm. That's interesting. I consider myself a thinker who can't be placed in any category. Some of my positions (gun control, abortion) could be construed as being conservative.

if I was wrong in my assumption, my bad. I am mistaken for a replican, when I am actually a step above an anarchist.
