    I listened to a guy on a podcast saying that Clarence Thomas was in the Black Power movement when he was young, and that kinda informs his decisions now. Thomas is very pessimistic about black Americans ever gaining equal power in American politics, and thinks black people should focus on things they can control instead (family, business, etc). I guess it’s kinda like an ethnic/right-wing version of “dual-power.” Also, like a lot of leftists I see on here that seem to have given up on electoral politics.
