The Most Interesting Man in America: Clarence Thomas!

[HitRed]

Clarence Thomas - Supreem Court Justice

Thomas, only the second African-American Supreem Court justice in US history, is famous for going years at a stretch without asking a question, including a full decade, from 2006 to 2016. Being the most silent member of the court this is worth your time. It's gold!

also, his first language is Gullah; he majored in English in college to perfect his spoken English

supposedly he never speaks because he grew-up self-conscious of his Gullah accent until he lost it

Why did HR feel the need to point out that Thomas is black right before making a comment about how useless he is?

#ICantBreathe

I don't see any comment about him being useless. I see him referred to as silent, which is far, far, far from the same thing.

A wise old owl sat on an oak
The more he thought, the less he spoke
The less he spoke, the more he heard
Now wasn't that a wise old bird?

True, I don't know whether HR/the voice of God thinks Thomas's silences are negative or not. Although I get the impression that in America they're more often viewed negatively than otherwise.

Just want to strongly encourage everyone to watch this PBS special on Clarance Thomas. This is solid gold!

We would view your silence POSITIVELY

Isn't this the slogan being chanted by anti-lockdown protestors? #NoMoreMasks
