Leftists Regurgitate ‘Uncle Tom’ Smear To Dim Clarence Thomas’ Legacy, But It Won’t Work

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas is often the victim of leftist smears. This week, however, has seen the return of the “Uncle Tom” attack.

The Georgia Senate passed successfully Tuesday SB 69The bill, if it is approved by both the Republican Governor and the state House, would allow for the placement of a monument to Thomas on the grounds of the state capitol. Brian Kemp would permit the installation of a Thomas monument on the grounds at the state capitol. In remarks to his colleagues, bill sponsor and GOP Sen. Ben Watson spoke to Thomas’ character and praised Living a good life is justice “marked by tremendous achievement,” saying:

This Georgia native son deserves to be honored on Capitol grounds. It is a place where future generations can learn valuable lessons and feel inspired and believe that their lofty dreams can be realized in America regardless of where they were born.

Meanwhile, the upper chamber’s Democrat members couldn’t have been less enthused. Not only did every single Democrat senator vote against the bill, but several of them used the opportunity to slander the Supreme Court’s most senior justice.

While some Democrats such as Sen. Nan Orrock went after Thomas’ judicial career by Calling his service on the nation’s highest court “problematic,” The comments of leftist hackers like Sen. Emanuel Jones, however, were more venomous. Jones made a snide reference to Thomas, the second African American to be on the Supreme Court. “Uncle Tom,” He said that he had betrayed “his own community.”

“I’m just trying to tell you what we have in the African American community when we talk about a person of color that goes back historically to the days of slavery and that person betraying his own community — we have a term in the black community,” Jones said. “That term that we use is called ‘Uncle Tom.’ An Uncle Tom … talks about a person who back during the days of slavery sold his soul to the slave masters.”

One lawmaker uninformed compared Clarence Thomas to an ant. “Uncle Tom” Who “sold his soul to the slave masters.”

Unfortunately, Jones’ Tuesday rant is just the tip of the iceberg. Over the years, so called “” “progressive” Democrats have launched a barrage against Thomas because he dares to think for himself.

During a 2014 interview, for instance, Democrat Rep. Bennie Thompson of Mississippi didn’t just Call Thomas “Uncle Tom”; he also claimed the justice “doesn’t like black people” “doesn’t like being black.”

But it’s not just Democrat politicians lobbing racist insults at Thomas. Joy Reid, MSNBC host and a prominent member of legacy media, has also joined the smear campaign.
