The decisive majority of black people agree with justice Thomas that colleges shouldn’t use race as a factor for admissions: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2019/02/25/most-amer...

Seems like you are moving the goal post?
Are you saying rich black people aren’t as black as poor black people?
Why would you punish someone for their success despite the disadvantage you insist must be accounted for?

Where did you get 30 million? One online source estimates 1 million net worth and has some reasoning to back it up. My guess is that if he has owned a house in the DC area since he has been on the supreme court, he would have a lot of home equity too but probably not up to 30 million
