Clarence Thomas Given INSANE “Label” By Sitting Senator!

(ConservativeSense.com) – A Georgia Senator has called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas “Uncle Tom” because of his conservative views. Thomas is only the second black man to serve on the Supreme Court bench. A vote was held in the Georgia State Senate on whether to erect a statue of Thomas – a native of Georgia – on the Capitol grounds.

During the debate, Sen. Emmanuel Jones, a Democrat, used the racial slur and said he finds Justice Thomas’ views offensive. Jones said Thomas betrayed his own community with his conservative standpoints and has supported policies intended to harm black Americans.

The Uncle Tom slur is often used to attack black people who do not go along with the left-wing narrative or support the Democratic Party. This is despite the fact that the Democrats have a dark history where race is concerned. According to Professor Carol Swain, who herself is African-American, the history of the Democrats is brushed over today and the past has been rewritten to present the party as the good guy.

The truth is rather different, as Professor Swain has written. “The Democratic Party defended slavery, started the Civil War, opposed Reconstruction, founded the Ku Klux Klan, imposed segregation, perpetrated lynchings, and fought against the civil rights acts of the 1950s and 1960s,” she wrote. 

The term Uncle Tom is derived from Harriet Beecher Stowe’s novel Uncle Tom’s Cabin, written in 1852. The character is a slave who uses non-resistance and works to help others who escape from slavery. The slur results from the character’s perceived kindness towards his white slaveholders. 

Clarence Thomas was appointed to the Supreme Court by President George H.W. Bush in 1991. He graduated from Yale Law School in 1974. He is thought to be the most conservative serving Justice on the bench and was among those who voted to overturn Roe v Wade in 2022.

He stood down from his teaching role at George Washington University following fierce criticism from students when he used the Roe v Wade ruling to suggest that other Supreme Court-established rights, such as gay marriage, could be reconsidered.
