Whether he is ignored or not depends on the thought circle of discourse and how that circle sets, or does not set, expectations based on skin color.
He’s ignored for the same reason Clarence Thomas is ignored - the juxtaposition between the color of his skin and his words.
- failwhaleshark 5y agoClarence Thomas' skin color is irrelevant. He believes the US should be a Gilead as much as the Taliban wants to turn Afghanistan into an Islamic nation: Christian state religion, no abortions, women and children as property, patriarchy, women at-home/barefoot/pregnant, no porn, no LGBT rights, no accommodations for disabilities, no dancing, no premarital sex, no divorces, criminalize adultery, decriminalize sexual harassment (irony!), no welfare except for the rich, no unions, and only teach abstinence and Creationism.
- iammisc 5y agoThomas isn't just ignored, he is actively campaigned against (As a person, rather than his views) and 'unpersoned'. For example, there is a wonderful PBS documentary, Clarence Thomas in his own words, that was removed from Amazon Prime TV during Black History month at a time the company chose to 'center' black voices. Apparently only black voices with the correct political leanings. Love him or hate him, I highly recommend the documentary. It's very humanizing.
