Watched it, she is much more awful than I realized, and the only reason she seems to have for being so mean and destructive is because she's always had more than most people (cushy enough upbringing) and just hates other people because they have less . . . and she has nothing else to do with her time?

It seems meaningless, her deep hatred, and was quite scary. She's up for burning it all down.

Fucking John Bolton was his best friend at Yale Law.

Hillary & Bill Clinton were at Yale Law at same time. Bolton convinced Thomas that white liberals were the biggest enemies of African Americans. Bolton had a hard on for the Clintons way back then. How dare they have different politics?

What a strange life Thomas has lived. He hates blacks (due to internal racism in the black community, treating darker skinned worse) and most whites. Sounds like his mother might’ve been a prostitute. He had no relationship with whoever fathered him. Then a succession of what they said were men who “weren’t any kind of father figure.” Another person said, “She did what she had to do.”

She sent him to his abusive, dark skinned grandfather who sent him to catholic school. The nuns loved him and encouraged him. He went to seminary but had to drop out because of racism. Then he won a scholarship to Holy Cross. He had some black classmates who all appeared to be lighter skinned. He got involved in civil rights at school but seemed to give it up because he was angry that people believed he was inferior to white students because of affirmative action. Then came Yale Law where Bolton turned him into a hater of white democrats.

His eyes. Even in his earliest photos his eyes are intense and ….scary.

by Anonymousreply 34May 18, 2023 5:18 AM

The thing that was the most telling about Thomas’s character was the end of his Yale Law days.

Thomas had been so sure he was discriminated against at Yale, even by his more privileged fellow black students, that he spent the bulk of the time wearing a t-shirt and overalls everywhere. He made a spectacle of himself to show to the world he was more disadvantaged, more put upon than the rest of the world. Well, when time comes for everyone to get recruited by big law firms, no one wants Clarence.

No shit, Sherlock! What did he expect, all the old white-shoe law firms to jump at the chance to employ a stunt queen agitator what may or may not decide to stage a protest by wearing overalls to work?

It’s almost as if he created a situation in which he was so offensive that no one would have anything to do with him just to prove his martyr mentality was warranted. Once this self fulfilling prophecy came true, he then took that as license to become vindictive, abusive, and a sell out.

It alarmist like the marriage to Ginny plays into this. Want to prove that America is really against the black man? Get a white wife and then they’ll really treat you badly, proving your point.

I was surprised to see that even when Ginni was still a schoolgirl living with her parents in Iowa, that Republicans were already demonizing liberals. Her parents were John Birchers, the rabid conservatives righter than right, who were already smearing liberals as un-American.

I'm 73, a native Californian, and remember John Birchers in the 60s and 70s, many living in Orange County (So Cal). Birchers were thought to be extreme even then. Hateful people completely out of step with reality. To my open, liberal family, they were creepy. My father was a joyful progressive, a businessman in a gay neighborhood who hired minorities, refugees and immigrants. He gave everyone a chance, helped many promote and succeed. Richly rewarded with loyal employees and friends, a lesson for uptight conservatives who don't know how to live and let live and appreciate the good in all people.

I remember hearing about the John Birch Society, so I looked it up and discovered that one of the founders (1958) was Fred Koch of Koch Industries. Those Koch people cut quite a swath through 20th and 21st-century America, huh?

R27, R32, your posts made me think of legendary NYT street-fashion photographer Bill Cunningham, who was invited to all the big society parties but would never take in so much as a glass of water at those events and kept himself apart from the attendees he was there to cover. A fashion photographer had more principles than the White House press corps.

It probably bears saying that Ginni kept the fact that Clarence was black a secret from most, though one assumes she told her immediate family, until the wedding. People showed up to the ceremony in Omaha to discover that conservative little Ginni Lamp was marrying a black man. I’m sure it was shocking.

I grew up in Omaha Nebraska. Like Ginni did. I'm a year older than her. I was bussed into the all black school North High. I'm white and I was the minority at that high school. North High then was the BAD school. It was the best education and the teachers were incredible. I'm class of 1974. Made so many friends.

Ginni went to Westside(whiteside) High school. The richi rich high school for whites. Assholes.

So she was on the debate team? I was on the debate team. Must have debated against that bitch. We kicked ass in debate!!! The other teams thought we were idiots because it was North High.

I wonder if my parents crossed paths with her parents. My Mother was a Liberal Republican (later Democrat) who hated the Birchers. My Father was a Northern Democrat(not dixiecrat) and a member of the ACLU. Both were artists. My Mother taught art at Creighton University. Both my parents were Unitarians and took me to march with MLK. My parents moved around in a lot of circles. Which they were alive to ask them. They would have had NOTHING to do with that trash.

My favorite moment in the documentary was when a friend commented on Clarence's oft repeated claim that he could not get a job out of Yale because people thought he was accepted under affirmative action.

His friend points out that it wasn't affirmative action that kept them from hiring him. The reason they did not hire him was because he was black.

Even without affirmative action he would still be black and those firms would not have hired him.
