Clarence Thomas: “If they can prove you wrong, fine. But if they call you names or say you’re not black, I mean, how stupid is that? Look…”

There’s this overriding public view that you’re not supposed to think this way, therefore you’re not black, therefore you’re discredited.

There seems to be this overwhelming pressure for us to agree with the prevailing notions which I consider almost illusory in a sense.

I said, 'What about if they said you couldn't go to certain stacks?’ Well, that would be wrong.

If you collapse at the end of this, you've lived a noble life.
