Per #CoreyRobin: Thomas ‘sees something of value in the social worlds of slavery and Jim Crow,’ not because he endorses bondage ‘but because he believes that under those regimes African Americans developed #virtues of #independence and habits of #responsibility, practices of self-control and #institutions of #patriarchal self-help, that enabled them to #survive and sometimes #flourish.’
I’m understanding how #ClarenceThomas developed his renegade streak.
