The Enigma of Clarence Thomas is a groundbreaking revisionist take on the Supreme Court justice everyone knows about but no one knows.
Most people can tell you two things about Clarence Thomas: Anita Hill accused him of sexual harassment, and he almost never speaks from the bench. Here are some things they don’t know: Thomas is a Black nationalist. In college he memorized the speeches of Malcolm X. He believes white people are incurably racist.
In the first examination of its kind, Corey Robin - one of the foremost analysts of the right - delves deeply into both Thomas’s biography and his jurisprudence, masterfully reading his Supreme Court opinions against the backdrop of his autobiographical and political writings and speeches. The hidden source of Thomas’s conservative views, Robin shows, is a profound skepticism that racism can be overcome. Thomas is convinced that any government action on behalf of African-Americans will be tainted by racism; the most African-Americans can hope for is that white people will get out of their way.
There’s a reason, Robin concludes, why liberals often complain that Thomas doesn’t speak but seldom pay attention when he does. Were they to listen, they’d hear a racial pessimism that often sounds similar to their own. Cutting across the ideological spectrum, this unacknowledged consensus about the impossibility of progress is key to understanding today’s political stalemate.

What enigma? Justice Thomas has written more opinions than anyone else sitting on the Supreme Court.
And why would a black nationalist who believes white peoples are devils, marry a white woman?
Clarence Thomas is the first black man to sit on such a bench. Anyone interested in dissolving “systematic racism” should give credit where credit is due. And if we’re going to talk about indiscretions, supposing they are true, what about that of Martin Luther King Jr.? Does the author think that all of his accomplishments should be considered rubbish on account of him having been with prostitutes while being a married man and ordained preacher?
Biden appointed a justice because she is a woman, and she doesn’t even know how to define a woman, but Thomas should be crucified on a cross because his wife considers the election suspicious? Yeah, right.

jiminy, you should look up thurgood marshall then reassess your claim that thomas was the first black man to sit on the bench.

@Jim: “Thomas should be crucified on a cross because his wife considers the election suspicious?”
He adjudicated a case that involved his wife’s treasonous messages.
He’s not responsible for her doing everything possible to overthrow an election, he is responsible for trying to cover it up.

Thurgood Marshall was the first on the Supreme Court. Not Thomas
