We’ve been very polite thus far under the circumstances, you fucking corrupt fascist-enabling race-traitor.

Let me put a finer point on it:

Thomas, an African American man on the Supreme Court, has done immense damage to the African American (and basically all other minorities) struggle for civil rights, equality, and egalitarianism.

THAT is what I mean when I say he is a race traitor: he’s actively working against marginalized members of his own race, amongst many others. It’s a matter of public record.

humanity is one fucking race, and this dickhead is a traitor to humanity. Ergo, race traitor.

The actual definition of race being concerned with the ability to make fertile babies together, all other definitions being (or leading directly to) actual racism
