Re:The Conservative Black Nationalism of Clarence Thomas (2019) on Friday July 01, 2022 @05:27PM (#31953188)

Not trying to start a flamewar. I found this interview interesting and surprising. For example I would never have imagined Clarence Thomas as a follower of Malcolm X.

Robin is on the left, as is the publication, but they're trying to understand Thomas rather than condemn him.
