Justice Clarence Thomas decried the contemporary culture of victimhood during remarks Thursday, telling an audience at the Library of Congress that constant aggrievement would exhaust the country.
Ever a touchstone for controversy on racial issues, the justice related a story from a recent trip to Kansas, where a black college student told him she was primarily interested in school work, and less interested in the political tumult gripping college campuses.
“At some point we’re going to be fatigued with everybody being a victim,” he said.
Thomas has struck similar chords throughout his public life. He appeared on Laura Ingraham’s Fox News program in November 2017, and suggested contemporary activists could benefit from the example of his grandparents, who exhibited quiet fortitude during the heady days of white supremacy.

Attention Americans, Conservatives, Jews and Christians! Israel is facing a major emergency! War may be coming to Israel. Israel reports that Hezbollah threatens Israel with 100,000 rockets and missiles. Death and destruction can come from major forest fires in the Galilee. Don’t make our soldiers fight the enemy AND fires. There’s a long-term solution to the risk of fires: The solution is CATTLE, yes – CATTLE! Cattle that eat the shrubs that catch fire!

WE HAVE PLENTY OF PEOPLE TRAINED IN COMBAT, MILLIONS OF VETERANS, WE ALSO CAN TRAIN TEACHERS, BUT UNTIL YOU PUT THE PADDLE BACK IN SCHOOL AND ALLOW THE TEACHER TO USE IT WITHOUT AN ATTORNEY GETTING INVOLVED, YOU ARE NOT GOING TO HELP THE KIDS. IT TOOK THE PADDLE TO BREAK ME FROM FIGHTING IN SCHOOL 3 TIMES A DAY. IF PARENTS DO NOT LIKE IT, MAKE THE TAKE CARE OF THEIR OWN KIDS.
So your answer to teach children not to hurt people is to hurt them. Brilliant.
Kids that I knew got a paddle never did it again at school
No, the answer to children hurting each other is to teach them that authority will hurt them if they do. Much the same way we do now with adults.
You had better believe it! Spanking a child never hurts them, but if enough pain is administered they will obey aurhorties. I know, I brought up nine boys and one girl. They all turned out well and have no mental issues or get in trouble with the law. They all have good jobs to this day!! give me a break Lisa and go study history!
