YouTube Description
as posted by the channelMinnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison last week compared Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas to a house slave played by Samuel L. Jackson in the 2012 film “Django Unchained.”
In Quentin Tarantino’s violent black comedy about slavery in the antebellum South, Jackson portrays a character named Stephen Warren, who is loyal to the white landowner at a Mississippi plantation despite the cruelty he inflicts upon the other slaves.
“Well, Clarence Thomas, anybody who’s watched the movie ‘Django,’ just watch Stephen and you see Clarence Thomas,” Ellison said in an interview last Thursday with the Detroit-based Michigan Chronicle.
“Clarence Thomas has decided that his best personal interest is siding with the powerful and the special interests irregardless [sic] of who they’re gonna hurt.”
Thomas grew up in Georgia during the Jim Crow era and went on to attend Yale Law School, work at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and serve on the DC Circuit Court of Appeals before he was tapped for the high court by President George H.W. Bush.
