"I often wonder how Clarence Thomas went from organizing clothing drives for the Black Panther party and participating in anti-Vietnam war protests to one of the most influential Coons of our time. Let's get into it. So in order to understand the evolution of his Coonery, we got to go all the way back to Clarence Thomas's childhood. Now Clarence Thomas grew up poor in pinpoint Georgia, and he is the direct descendant of enslaved people. And he's also a descendant of the Geechee people and even speaks Gullah. Now he was born to a teen mama and then raised by his aunt into her house After that, he was sent to live with his grandparents who then placed him in an all white Catholic school. Now at that school, he experienced racism that was so alienating and so crushing. And by the time he reached Holy Cross College in the late 1960s, he was inspired by the Black Power movement. His homeboy said he would dress in army fatigues and a beret, quoted Malcolm X by heart and helped found the Black Student Union on campus. In his junior year of college, Clarence Thomas joined thousands of students in the Harvard Square anti-war protest. And by Clarence Thomas's own account, the police at that protest brutalized and arrested protesters. Now instead of being disillusioned at the police brutalizing college students who were standing against war, he began morphing into a super coon. In the infancy of his cooning, Clarence Thomas attended Yale Law School. Now when Clarence Thomas got to Yale, he faced racism there too. His peers and administrators said he only got in because of affirmative action. But rather than joining the fight to defend Black people's access to these spaces, he internalized the shame and the guilt. And he studied obsessively to prove himself to his white counterparts. But after graduation, he couldn't even get a job. Instead of blaming the system, he blamed affirmative action. Now in the adolescent period of his cooning, Clarence Thomas had already turned his back on the movement that made his career possible. As head of the Equal Employment Opportunities Commission in the 1980s, he reshaped the agency to stop fighting discrimination as a group issue, pushing in every man for himself approach that weakens civil rights enforcement. He openly attacked Brown vs. Board of Education, the case that desegregated."
