Justice Clarence Thomas

So his honorable Justice is touring the USA touting his book, “My Grandfather’s Son,” which I have not read, nor intend to.

However, the media reports I’ve read, and this AP story is typical, indicate that he is whining, as seems to be his style, that his “affirmative action” Yale law school scholarship inhibited his search for employment upon his graduation.

As Thomas reportedly puts it in his book, “I learned the hard way that a law degree from Yale meant one thing for white graduates and another for blacks, no matter how much any one denied it,” Thomas writes. “I’d graduated from one of America’s top law schools, but racial preference had robbed my achievement of its true value.”

A justice of the USA Supreme Court for 15, or so, years; the former director of the US Civil Rights Commission; and the beneficiary of the sponsorship of former Missouri US Senator Danforth and George Bush I; and the guy still whines. It is unseemly, indeed, for a guy so antagonistic toward the concept of victimhood to be playing the victim card.

Perhaps his troubles in securing employment upon graduation may be attributed to the fact the guy acts the victim or his seeming dim whitedness. The AP reports of the success of a number of Thomas’ similarly situated classmates in securing employment upon their graduations.
