Long way left on the road to the goal carved in the face of the Supreme Court... 'Equal Justice For All'
Clarence Thomas was put up there as a JOKE...and hasn’t done anything but hinder racial justice.

@UCBytN9SZMRniymxkAsts4yw Zero facts? Pushing the "BOOHOO I'm always a victim", or you're "privileged because you're white" BS is exactly what progressives do. LOL "His duty to human rights"... He doesn't push blackness, or his own personal SJW agenda, he is a Supreme Court Justice, their JOB is to interpret the Constitution, not be activists for progressive-liberal causes.

Clarence Thomas isn't even qualified to shine his shoes.
What an intimidatingly brilliant man. The weight of his impact will be felt throughout the ages in this country.
This was truly a great man, with intelligence, insight and drive. Truly an inspirational person. But I believe Rep. Cummings and Rep. Lewis were outstanding people as well. The more like them we have, the better it will be. One needs to look past someone's color to see the person inside.
An amazing giant!
This breaks my heart!

You'll always be easily manipulated by propoganda. I mean the black community voted for Biden. That is more then enough proof that black people are too easily manipulated.

@@emillofquistfabris4280 After what Trump managed to accomplish in his first term with things such as criminal justice reform, school choice, historical long term record funding for HBCUs, record low unemployment, amazing wage increase, lower taxes, etc? Definitely. If they voted for Trump they would've gained capital like crazy. His $500B platinum plan investment to open up over 500.000 black owned businesses.. What do you think black people are getting now? What do you think the black community needs? Financial independence was Trump his goal. Financial enslavement is that of the DNC. Trump did more for the black community in four years than Obama and Bush did combined in 16.
So true!
Thurgood Marshall a.k.a. Mr. Civil Rights, we thank you for your fight in order to create a more perfect Union.
I love Mr. Marshall he was such an intelligent, strong, & powerful black man. I was recently watching the film made about him in the last few years and, found myself screaming at the TV. “You go Mr. Marshall you a bad man, they better not play with Thurgood, he ain’t the one” 😂 it’s like I was saying the things I would if he was here in our time. Such an inspiring man❤
Rest in peace
He is a true American. One who holds the values of the bill of rights, that all people are created equal.
Thank you🙏 Now This. Found your piece useful throughout this journey and counting!

Bruh Moment
We are still talking about the same thing Supreme Court Judge Marshall
How close are we? My son was meant to be guaranteed his human rights alone with his first breath!
I will NEVER give in!
I am not playing!
Thurgood marshall 24 years in office 0 scandals. 0 bribes. 1 great justice
Marshall too, was not just a lawyer. He was a lawyer working under CONVICTIONS instruction and demand. That is why it was not about the law books and constitution alone for him.
Hear hear...
AMAZING MAN READ THE WHOLE 420 PAGE AUTOBIOGRAPHY...MUST READ!!!!
"It never will be true..."

Well I am going to do SOMETHING about it. I will do it!
What Does Bertrand Russell Have To Do With Thurgood Marshall's Grooming As Milton Bradley ?
The sooner you understand this, the better. My son was guaranteed HUMAN RIGHTS with his first breath. You punished him because his mom told the truth - I will be damned if I helped hide the truth my son was traumatized for. There is no other way but the truth. There is no baby and those few words I will die for.
Says and Harry deserve the same rights as Gigi and her powerful contacts! From their first breath. Plain and simple!
He was RIGHT! it is getting worse and it is systematically designed to get worse. It is a coordinated effort!

That is to you NATO - do not get in the way of Putin helping me.

No such thing as a light skin African American
Did it anyway knowing "....it NEVER will be true", that the child of the dumbest share cropper, will by drawing its first breath, have the same and equal rights as Gigi's doll. Its not true and Jake is exhibit A, and he is far from dumb, but it matters not in the world we live in. Not proof read
Do not collectively get in the way of Putin helping me. He can fix this. Let him!
I have stopped watching western media.
I have his photo in the hallway leading up to the door of my office. Anytime I have any black person who comes in for the 1st time, I point at him and ask them who is that great man. As a Jamaican American, I understand most African Americans are clueless.
Hear hear....
