Thomas knows full well he got into Yale because of affirmative action, he only had a problem with it later when he realized that many white people didn't recognioze his achievement while there but thought he was given something he didn't deserve. He couldn't have gotten in without affirmative action, and without affirmative action he couldn't have gotten in. Thise segment from an article includes quotes from his book.

"When Thomas applied to Yale Law School, his race was taken into consideration. He wrote in his book, "I asked Yale to take that fact into account when I applied, not thinking that there might be anything wrong with doing so."

But Thomas says that after he graduated from Yale, he went on several job interviews with "one high-priced lawyer" after another and the attorneys treated him dismissively. "Many asked pointed questions, unsubtly suggesting that they doubted I was as smart as my grades indicated."

The fact that he couldn't get a job would shape his thoughts on affirmative action programs for years to come. Thomas wrote, "Now I knew what a law degree from Yale was worth when it bore the taint of racial preference. I was humiliated—and desperate."

In his interview with ABC News, Thomas said he was unable, even when he was nominated to the Supreme Court, to erase the stigmatizing effects of racial preference. "Once it is assumed that everything you do achieve is because of your race, there is no way out." he said. "…it is irrebuttable and it is proved to be true. In everything now that someone like me does, there's a backwash into your whole life is because of race."

Your standard that Harlan Crow has to be a plaintiff or defendant is ridiculous for there to be a conflict is ridiculous when Crow is funding plaintiff's before the court on a regular basis, and helped fund his wife's career as well. , which Thomas also didn't report. You keep using examples of things I never mentioned (like Biden) as what must be my reasons for criticizing Thomas. Why not because he's a misogynist, unethical bribe-taker.?
