Clarence Thomas

One thing that disgusts me is the fact that some of the very same people who will shout "racist" at anyone who criticizes Barack Obama take amusement from making fun of Clarence Thomas in the most tasteless of ways. Seriously - if you took some of their criticisms of Thomas and applied them to Obama - well if it was an elected official who did it - they would be asked to step down.

What got me thinking about Thomas was this very nice profile in the Wall Street Journal. I was surprised to learn that Thomas is a NASCAR fan for example.
