When Clarence Thomas Trasformed into Malcolm X

I know many brothers and sisters really and I mean really hate Clarence Thomas. After all, in the black community, he is known as everything that you do not want your children to be after succeeding. I put it like this. He is the guy that everybody said never stayed true to his principles and sided with others who thought was he should and should not have as African-Americans’ equal rights. Basically, he was the poster boy for After Civil Rights’ Uncle Tom.

….but today is still hard for me to say this “What Justice Thomas said was literally A GOOD POINT.”

He hardly ever speaks during oral arguments, often appearing asleep on the bench. But in his written opinion Monday supporting the right to bear arms, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas roared to life.

Referring to the disarming of blacks during the post-Reconstruction era, Thomas wrote: "It was the 'duty' of white citizen 'patrols to search negro houses and other suspected places for firearms.' If they found any firearms, the patrols were to take the offending slave or free black 'to the nearest justice of the peace' whereupon he would be 'severely punished.' " Never again, Thomas says.

In a scorcher of an opinion that reads like a mix of black history lesson and Black Panther Party manifesto, he goes on to say, "Militias such as the Ku Klux Klan, the Knights of the White Camellia, the White Brotherhood, the Pale Faces and the '76 Association spread terror among blacks. . . . The use of firearms for self-defense was often the only way black citizens could protect themselves from mob violence."

This was no muttering from an Uncle Tom, as many black people have accused him of being. His advocacy for black self-defense is straight from the heart of Malcolm X. He even cites the slave revolts led by Denmark Vesey and Nat Turner -- implying that white America has long wanted to take guns away from black people out of fear that they would seek revenge for centuries of racial oppression.

I can’t believe this came out of his mouth out of all people. I mean, this looks like it will come from people like Rev. Inc. (for those who don’t know that is Rev. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Shout out to Field Negro for that one.), or some black militant cat who works for the Black Panther Party. No, this came out of C.T. mouth. He has a good point on the 2^nd amendment. Instead of calling him an Uncle Tom, we might need to be hearing the poster boy (well former to me, there are new Toms and Jemamas, such as Jesse Lee Peterson, that Manning dude, and Star Parker; who in my case don’t give a s^%* about their own race.) instead of listening to media and people who are going to take our Second Amendment Rights away from us. Think about it. I know that it is hard in the Chi with all these killings and everything, but just think for a second if they took the right to bear arms from ALL- AFRICAN AMERICANS. For the gangster who got the gun, it will be use to lock him up, but for just a normal-working African Americans who want to protect their, it is more of the fear that other militias (or domestic terrorist such as White Nationalists, who are protected by the NRA) can have us living in fear if we succeed or say something out the way, which is seriously inhumane.

I am glad Justice Thomas stood up on this not speaking as for one person, but for a race.

What do you think about Justice Clarence Thomas speaking up for African American about the Second Amendment?

In Clarence Thomas's gun rights opinion, race plays a major role
