Rep. Bennie Thompson (D-MS) called Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas an “Uncle Tom,” adding that “it’s almost to the point saying this man doesn’t like black people, he doesn’t like being black,” The Week reports.
Thompson explained that every decision Thomas has signed on to at the court has “been adverse to the minority community, and the people I represent have a real issue with an African American not being sensible to those issues.”
