Clarence Thomas
I don't know one of my friends who is considered a conservative who has not had to go back and thoroughly think through everything. You do a lot of soul-searching - 'cause we are not going to win any popularity contests.
Clarence Thomas
It takes a person with a mission to succeed.
Clarence Thomas
You didn't think of angels as white or black. They were angels.

Clarence Thomas
I think segregation is bad, I think it's wrong, it's immoral. I'd fight against it with every breath in my body, but you don't need to sit next to a white person to learn how to read and write. The NAACP needs to say that.
Clarence Thomas
Any discrimination, like sharp turns in a road, becomes critical because of the tremendous speed at which we are traveling into the high-tech world of a service economy.
Clarence Thomas
While the romanticized ideal of universal public education resonates with the cognoscenti who oppose vouchers, poor urban families just want the best education for their children, who will certainly need it to function in our high-tech and advanced society.
Clarence Thomas
Government cannot make us equal it can only recognize, respect, and protect us as equal before the law.
Clarence Thomas
The myths that are created about the South, about the way we grew up, about black people, are wrong.
Clarence Thomas
And I thank God I believe in God, or I would probably be enormously angry right now.
Clarence Thomas
[T]he courts are so willing to assume that anything that is predominantly black must be inferior.... The mere fact that a school is black does not mean that it is the product of an unconstitutional violation.
Clarence Thomas
People get bent out of shape about the fact that when I was a kid, you could not drink out of certain water fountains. Well, the water was the same.
Clarence Thomas
We've talked more about civil rights after the Civil Rights Act of 1964 than we talked about it before 1964.
