Thank you for posting this, BrotherJR76.

@writersblock26 No problem at all.

@RussMusiq - his justice is not blind or objective when it's consistently one sided and Justice Thomas, unfortunately sides with the powerful over the powerless.

[BrotherJR76]

@smokeyvelvet42 Sadly, you have a point. If you look at Justice Thomas, whether it's during his years at the EEOC, his years on the Federal Court, his years as assistant secretary in the U.S. Department of Education, and his years during on the Supreme Court, Clarence Thomas has shown a tendency to be more concerned, to place a greater emphasis and care about the thoughts and views of the white conservative intellectuals, and chattering class than he does the plight of anybody else.

@midterngrades You can't have blacks straying from traditional thought.The democratic party would be in serious trouble if were to happen.Tavis is so concerned he had to get 3 other people to prop up his position.I remember watching this show and being amazed at how threatened these jokers were by Clarence releasing his book.

@bapyou Oh, I see. I gotcha now, U right.

@BrotherJR76 The "butter havin' folks" are the ones who have butter on their bread at all times and they are not worried about not havin' butter any time soon.

Those of us who don't always have butter for our bread are the rest of us.

[BrotherJR76]

@bapyou "butter havin folks" What u mean by that?

[bapyou]

@BrotherJR76 I can sum up your comment in one sentence: Clarence Thomas knows which side of the bread has butter and which side does not. Thomas ain't about to hang out with any no-butter havin' folks if he can at all help it.

[BrotherJR76]

@midterngrades U can't believe that people listen to it yet u took the time out to listen to it, OK... SMH!
