Alabama state representative Alvin Holmes is no fan of Clarence Thomas. On Tuesday, the same day Thomas
told an audience he is treated worse by “northern liberal elites” than he was growing up in the segregated South, Holmes took to the statehouse floor to make disparaging comments about the Supreme Court justice’s marriage to a white woman.
Via the
Decatur Daily’s Mary Sell and the
Anniston Star’s Tim Lockette:
After leaving the floor, Holmes, who is black, tried to walk back his comments about Thomas’s marriage, but maintained that the only black Supreme Court Justice is an “Uncle Tom.”
