Reply #56: Watching him on 60-Minutes gave me the heebie-jeebies.

The man must really hate women. And himself.

As a youth, his mom packed his bags & sent him & his brother off to live with his VERY authoritarian (and likely, abusive) grandfather, and his grandmother. From what Thomas said about his grandfather, it sounded like his grandfather was pretty mucked up in the head. It sounded to me like his grandfather, even though he was in the black liberation movement, also taught Clarence that "whitey" was all powerful, and that he should learn how to "play the game". Well, playing the game has certainly helped this man all his life, and he has prospered by selling out his own soul.

Clarence Thomas is one mucked up mofo. I can't even imagine that a lot of the white, right-wing conservatives watching the show would have felt very comfortable with what Thomas said during the 60-minutes show, and I now see why we don't hear much from Thomas. He's just so ANGRY. I felt like I was watching a time-bomb.

rec. & a kick.
