Clarence Thomas.

You just voted to gut affirmative action and student loan forgiveness.

Let’s take a look how you got into Yale, shall we?

During your 58-page concurring opinion, you wrote that the foundational policies of affirmative action "fly in the face of our colorblind Constitution and our Nation's equality ideal.”

But Justice Thomas, we did a little digging and it turns out that Yale university followed an affirmative action policy at the time you attended its law school.

There’s more.

In 1991 a New York Times article about you reported that Yale University officials confirmed you were admitted to its law school "under an explicit affirmative action plan with the goal of having blacks and other minority members make up about 10 percent of the entering class."

It appears clear from the testimony of Yale officials that your admission to the Yale School of Law was made at the time of affirmative action policies and was almost certainly influenced by it.

We should also mention that
you secretly accepted $150,000 in tuition payments from rightwing billionaire Harlan Crowe, but you just voted to strike down loan forgiveness for students who need it.

There is something absolutely tragic about the fact that the benefits of
affirmative action helped create a Justice Thomas who will now deny many young African American talented individuals the same opportunity.

Justice Thomas, if you’re so against affirmative action, I suggest you resign from the Bench.

@ianmiles Hi Ian, thanks for your concern, but I will probably not take advice on moral culpability from a man who wrote a column called "incel corner" for Milo Yiannopoulos, or advice on hate speech from the author of the following. All the best.

Let's level set here.

A governor had to send his taxpayer funded operation to ANOTHER state to find people to use as pawns.

He lied to them. Bussed them to yet another state. Flew them on a taxpayer funded charter flight. Then dumped them on the steps of a catholic charity.

All for his own pathetic scheme to gain attention.

We will not be backing down from holding those involved accountable.
