A group of black academics has denounced the “racist, vicious, and ugly personal attacks” against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas since he sided with the majority in overturning Roe v. Wade.
In a letter published last week, the academics wrote that “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.”
