Thomas has admitted that he was accepted at Yale Law School under an affirmative action policy. In his 2007 memoir, “My Grandfather’s Son,” he wrote: “As much as it stung to be told that I’d done well in the seminary despite my race, it was far worse to feel that I was now at Yale because of it.”
He was also picked for SCOTUS because he was a black conservative following the death of a black liberal. You really think 41 was gonna fill the only seat held by a black man on SCOTUS with a white conservative dude? AA all the way baby.
