After reading his book, My Grandfather's Son, I soon realized that he was an angry black man who always beleived that he had to prove himself to whites on some level. In his book he states that one of his most haunting moments was when another student (who was white) wrote one day you'll be as good as we are. He has been on this senseless journey trying to prove that "He is not that type of negro." Many people like Judge Thomas are angry because President Elect Obama remained true to himself without believing that he had to change or to prove himself to white America. Look at Him....ZionFulfilledhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16883172018237876013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-58339501717784970792009-01-01T22:54:00.000-08:002009-01-01T22:54:00.000-08:00Holden: Palin clearly had better luck talking to c...Holden: Palin clearly had better luck talking to certain people, not the media, I will agree. A vocal Thomas on the Court, on the otherhand, would be going toe-to-toe with lawyers, not journalists (you mention), and who are capable of revealing dearly his shortcomings as a jurist.James C.

I heard Justice Thomas on the radio with Laura Ingraham and he sounded thoughtful, intelligent and (gee I sound like Joe Biden) had a good sense of humor. Which was surprising to me given the almost universal contempt he is held in in The Popular Culture.<BR/>On a related note, I think Gov. Palin would have come across much better if the media (Yes, you Charlie Gibson) had subjected her to the same kind of fawning softball questions that they asked of He Who Sends A Thrill Up My Leg When He Speaks...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-56314006413441155102008-12-20T22:28:00.000-08:002008-12-20T22:28:00.000-08:00Mr Collier :I agree with you about Sowell's output...Mr Collier :<BR/>I agree with you about Sowell's output. I have appreciated very much a lot of his books where he comes across as an extremely thoughtful, insightful man , especially on the ethnic questions. When one reads his columns on townhall.com for instance, one wonders if it's the same thomas sowell ! The townhall.com Sowell is nothing but a partisan hack.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25734096.post-86079655334020407062008-12-20T17:28:00.000-08:002008-12-20T17:28:00.000-08:00Anon 4:20, I don't question CT's intelligence, but...Anon 4:20, I don't question CT's intelligence, but rather his qualification for the high court - he was weak by all standards, ideology aside.<BR/>As for Sowell, his books have merit, while his day-to-day editorial is compromised by a need to please his conservative benefactors.James C.

Did you even read his autobiography?<BR/><BR/>Your attack on Clarence Thomas is unfortunate and indicates an insecurity. I guess, like Obama assumed at Saddleback Church, you have to publicly humiliate a non-conformist African American to keep your "cred."<BR/><BR/>By the way I did a search on "Thomas Sowell" on your blog and it came up empty...I wonder why?

Obama himself hems and haws quite a bit when the teleprompter is absent. Speech writers do wonders for mediocre minds. <BR/><BR/>Obama might have needed his affirmative action and Harvard grade inflation and tokenism, but Thomas didn't. <BR/><BR/>You can paint a narrative in a thousand ways.
