...disturbing thing about Thomas is not his conclusions, but his twisted reasoning and bilious rage. In his written opinions, he begins with premises that no self-respecting black would disagree with, then veers off into a neverland of color-blind philosophizing in which all race-based policies, from Jim Crow laws designed to oppress minorities to affirmative-action measures seeking to assist them, are conflated into one morally and legally pernicious whole.

Non-violent demonstrators, freedom riders and students who participated in sit-ins in the struggle for desegregation were spat upon, beaten, maimed and sometimes killed. The term segregation carrier as disgusting legacy of oppression. Using it to describe the actions of minorities today is a nasty reactionary play on words, like calling defenders of civil rights and affirmative action reverse racists...
