    #JoyAnnReid did not point out #ClarenceThomas at all.

    She talked about #black #Republicans hurting black people.

    Sure, not a lot of black people are happy with Clarence Thomas, and there are tons of examples why.

    She could have pointed out HOW they hurt black people without bringing up their blackness.

    That she relied on race to make a point when she didn't HAVE to is why I believe this was #racism (even though she herself is black). I might be wrong.

    >> Was she speaking directly to Clarence Thomas?

    She could have been speaking to #TimScott, or any other, but does it matter?

    #ClarenceThomas is not the only #black #Republican to humiliate their own people (see #AnitaHill Senate testimony from 3 decades ago), although as part of #SCOTUS he is one of the most consequential.

    But calling politicians out by race instead of policies while lamenting #racialInequality is itself inherently #racist, isn't it?

    LONG after #Reagan, HWBush, and #Clinton were gone, #BCRA still prohibited electioneering communications paid for by corporations.

    >> #Biden confirmed #ClarenceThomas. #Billionaires got #CitizensUnited in 2010.

    Clarence pubic-hair Thomas (see #AnitaHill hearing) was the tipping vote in 5-4 decision on Citizens United which was contrived to get money from billionaires. Corporations could POUR MONEY as "natural persons" but could NOT VOTE as such

    >>>> It hasn't always been like that, though. Can you figure out _when_ they succeeded with it?

    >> #Biden confirmed #ClarenceThomas. #Billionaires got #CitizensUnited in 2010.

    #Republicans stole 3 #SCOTUS seats and #Democrats played dead. You know why?

    Because BOTH are controlled by the same billionaires.

    Biden could've expanded SCOTUS after #Jan6 coup attempt by using emergency powers. He didn't. You know why?

    Never mind. Rhetorical question.
