You’ve “long wondered why” Michael. You are killing me, but, I’ll endeavor to enlighten you. Republicans are always; always trying to exploit insane Blacks that are filled with self loathing and who play it out on their own race. When I was in college Blacks called these traitors “Uncle Toms” They are the same blacks that were the trusted “house servants” of the Antebellum South. They are totally whack people who coincidentally like the mentally ill celeb Kanye West also happen to be Black. Republicans love rubbing these statistical “Black Swans”in the faces of the overwhelming majority of African Americans as though they were representative of the thinking of a people who have been enslaved, denigrated and cynically exploited since the 1600’s.

And TCinLA is also spot on. Revenge is always a classic Republican motivation

Hope this helps.

I like Citizen 60's and TCinLA's terse comments on the matter. Your statements "You are killing me" and especially "I'll endeavor to enlighten you" are offputting. There's no need for you to be condescending; it's disrespectful.

Michael, I seldom lose patience and was in fact being both disrespectful and condescending. But, in the interest of civic duty and fair play let me respond in this fashion:

I could understand one forgetting about Bork and the vengeance of Republicans to shove the most right wing whack they could promote and cynically made sure to choose an African American that would incite the use of the "race card" and "public lynching" at that time, might have missed your radar.

I suppose over time one may have lost memory of the public scourging of Anita Hill for honestly relating what a despicable freaking scumbag Thomas is. Finally, even forgetting how our now fearless President (then Senator) shoved her under the bus and then backed up over her was why we now have 6 Republicans on the SCOTUS. Yeah, I see how "you" could wonder.

So, I guess the only explanation I can find for how one might "wonder" about how Clarence’s rise was came about, must be left to other readers of this thread to decide.

Although I appreciate your admission of condescension and disrespect, I was hoping for a simple apology--however difficult it may sometimes be to do so.

Well, I thought I'd been the better man, but that went right over your head too.

Another example of a mean-spirited comment; it borders on the abusive. Cut it out. In fact, do not comment on any of my future comments, or I will report you to Substack.
