An Open Letter Denouncing the Attacks on Justice Clarence Thomas
RealClear Politics | Glenn Loury, Robert Woodson, Sr.
A number of FAIR Advisors, Harvard’s Roland Fryer, and more than one hundred black American thought leaders sign an open letter penned by FAIR Advisor Glenn Loury and Robert Woodson, Sr. denouncing the post-Roe attacks against Justice Thomas. “White progressives do not have the moral authority to excommunicate a black man from his race because they disagree with him. And those – regardless of background – who join in the charade or remain silent are guilty of enabling this abuse.”
The signatories “condemn the barrage of racist, vicious, and ugly personal attacks” on Clarence Thomas. “Whether it is calling him a racist slur, an ‘Uncle Tom’ or questioning his ‘blackness’ over his jurisprudence, the disparagement of this man, of his faith and of his character, is abominable… This is not about the content of the court’s decisions or Justice Thomas’ personal views… We speak out – as black people and Americans…because to remain silent would be to implicitly endorse these poisonous schemes as well as his destruction.”
FAIR Advisors who have signed the open letter to date include: Glenn Loury, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, John McWhorter, Erec Smith, Wilfred Reilly and Ian Rowe (MBA 93).
FAIR Advisors Glenn Loury and John McWhorter also discuss Clarence Thomas and the post-Roe response on Glenn’s Show (watch here), with excerpts on Glenn’s Substack.
