ANOTHER Awful NY Times’ Left-Wing Hit Piece on Justice Clarence Thomas as Media, Democrats Undermine Institution They Can’t Control

Is there anyone more racist than white liberals towards conservative blacks they can’t control?

Latest Clarence Thomas Corruption Shocker: He Belongs To Group That Helps Poor Kids Go To College

n the latest smear of Clarence Thomas, The New York Times reports that the justice has been a longtime member of an “elite circle” known as the Horatio Alger Association.

This dubious syndicate of wealthy Americans, named after “the Gilded Age author whose rags-to-riches novels represented an aspirational version of Justice Thomas’ own bootstraps origin story,” has handed out around $245 million in college scholarships to approximately 35,000 students. It doesn’t stop there, I’m afraid. The Times reports that Thomas — and you may want to sit down for this — was “meeting with and mentoring the recipients of millions of dollars a year in Horatio Alger college scholarships, many of whom come from backgrounds that mirror his own.”

Now, I don’t even feign to grasp the journalistic virtuosity needed to be a New York Times reporter, but my amateur guess is that the Horatio Alger Association really blew Thomas’ cover when publicly giving him an award and then listing his, and every members’, name on its website. As Star Chambers go, this has to be one of the sloppiest.

Indeed, the piece begins with a grainy picture of Thomas, almost always depicted as a puppet, at an event receiving an award from three rich white dudes. The Horatio Alger Association, the subhead tells us, “brought the justice access to wealthy members and unreported V.I.P. treatment,” and in turn, Thomas “offered another kind of access.”

NY Times puts out another left-wing hit piece on Justice Clarence Thomas as media, Dems undermine institution they can’t control

So, judges are not allowed to have friends now, according to The New York Times.

The liberal organ’s character assassination of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas continued over the weekend with a hefty hit piece titled “Where Clarence Thomas Entered an Elite Circle and Opened a Door to the Court.”

The other 4,000 words are laced with the usual smear and innuendo we’ve come to expect from the left in their attempts to destroy the court’s most consequential justice.

Let’s cut to the chase.

This is the Democrats and their media allies undermining an institution they can’t control.

That’s all.

Their problem with Thomas is that he’s black, conservative and effective.

And that is not allowed.

If you’re not in lockstep with the leftist agenda, then “you ain’t black,” to quote Joe Biden’s immortal phrase when he lost his temper with a black radio host he thought was not being sufficiently obsequious.

Dems hate Clarence Thomas, all right.

The second African-American judge to sit on the court and its longest-serving member, he is a threat to their lock on the black vote and a rebuke to their self-serving “equity” agenda of institutionally sanctioned racism.

But there is nothing among all the thin tales of rich friends to justify all the journalistic resources, nothing to suggest that Thomas, 75, has allowed those friendships to influence his decisions, or that his friends ever have had cases before the court.

The Times tries to turn Thomas’ altruistic efforts mentoring a generation of promising black students into a negative.

It portrays as sinister his membership of the Horatio Alger Association, whose website says it “assists high school students who have faced and overcome great obstacles to pursue their dreams through higher education.”

How nefarious can you get, helping underprivileged kids go to college.
Role model

Thomas, the Times tut tuts, has been “meeting with and mentoring the recipients of millions of dollars a year in Horatio Alger college scholarships, many of whom come from backgrounds that mirror his own.”

Shame on him!

The association in 1992 gave Thomas its lifetime membership award, presented each year to people who uphold the values of “personal initiative and perseverance, leadership and commitment to excellence, belief in the free-enterprise system and the importance of higher education [and] community service.”

Its biography of Thomas shows that he embodies those values.

“Clarence Thomas was born in 1948 in Pin Point, Georgia. When he was two, his father abandoned the family, leaving his mother to care for two sons. When Thomas was seven, they moved into his grandfather’s tenement building in Savannah, where they shared their one-room apartment’s kitchen with other residents. . . .

“During his early childhood, Thomas attended segregated public and parochial schools. . . .

“He graduated in the top 7 percent of his class and went on to receive a law degree from Yale in 1974.”

What a success story! What a role model!

But, no, the Times and the Dems want to destroy his reputation so that no impoverished black kid will follow in his footsteps. If you have a single egalitarian bone in your body, you have to see how detestable their hatchet jobs are.
