Thank you for posting the outrage we all should feel as Americans.

It's not enough that CJ Roberts said that "Racism is over and nothing else needs to be done" but that the Uncle Tom of the group, Clarence Thomas said he didn't know what diversity was and had never seen it in action. Perhaps he should look in the goddamn mirror. He might think diversity doesn't exist, but if he hadn't been really lucky, he would not have ended up on the Supreme Court in the first place.

Racism founded this country, by your ancestors and others-and that's why it was (and still is) necessary to make amends to those who were so unjustly affected by the laws and actions of former courts, laws and people.

I am disappointed that the white majority of the SC decided to just walk away and leave so many people in the lurch. It is disgusting that they're so high up in the clouds they have no idea what the hell this country looks like, nor do they really care.

A very sad, terrible day in this country when racism rules once again. Makes me sick to my stomach for all those people who will now never have the opportunity that Clarence Thomas had.

You must have been at the next table as my lunch companions and I were saying exactly the same thing: Thomas not aware of the color of his skin?!However, Roberts abject stupidity over Constitutional History is appalling!!
