So, go over there and get your copy immediately. Is Justice Clarence Thomas black America's number one enemy? Let me ask you that question again. Is Justice Clarence Thomas black America's number one enemy? And that's saying a lot because there are a whole lot of white supremacists who are high up on that list. But is Justice Thomas number one on that list? Now, as a member of the bar, I won't answer that question, but I'm going to give you some information so that you can answer it for yourself. not based on emotions or hearsay but facts. So I want to begin with the definition of white supremacy. Now, this is a definition that took me many years to develop from lots of research, lots of reading, of course, my personal experiences, including being a civil rights attorney who fight white supremacy in court on a daily basis. So let me give you my informed definition of white supremacy. All right. So I want to go to another screen and here it is. White supremacy is a satanically backed global system of domination in which European nations and their descendants have long maintained control of power and wealth through interconnected institutions, systems, policies, strategies, and militarization designed to uphold a racial hierarchy that privileges whiteness and subjugates nonwhite continents, nations, and people groups, especially Africa and its diaspora. White supremacy is built on a lie. The false belief that was crafted and spread by Europeans and their descendants that God made them superior and gave them the right to conquer and rule over others. In other words, that is the justification for this white supremacy network. One of white supremacists most effective strategies is using non-white operatives. These individuals are recruited, conditioned, deployed, and rewarded for betraying their own people while advancing the goals of white supremacy. Without them, these operatives, white supremacy would struggle to operate as effectively as it does against others, especially Africa and the African diaspora. You say, "Well, so why do I single out Africa and the African diaspora?" Well, for two reasons. I am an African descendant. Number one. Number two, Africa is filled with wealth and very very valuable natural resources that nations around the world depend upon, especially European nations have built their wealth from the wealth from the continent of Africa, especially subsaharan Africa where most of the blacks are. All right. So that's why there's such a focus from me because it's such a focus for these European nations. All right. And contrary to this foolishness that you see on YouTube, I am an African descendant. I've even checked my DNA. But even before then, I knew that I was a descendant. I am a descendant of African people from the uh continent of Africa. That doesn't mean that Africans did not sail to this continent uh before Christopher Columbus. Yes, I do believe that as well. But I am a descendant of the continent of Africa who came here pursuant to or during the transatlantic slave trade. I just happen to know my family history. All right, but anyway, back to Clarence Thomas. I'm going to share with you some info that's going to answer that question for you. All right, here he is. Justice Clarence Thomas. I remember his confirmation hearing. I've read several of his books. I know where he came from and where he comes from ideologically. Okay. After all, I am an attorney. I studied and read many of his cases in law school. We read in law school just hundreds of cases and we learn the law from what's in those cases and many of those cases he has written. So, you get to sort of know a person from the cases that they have written and that you read and have to read as a law student. All right. Now, I want to I want to really point out that white supremacy, as I said, would not be as effective without operatives, without, in our case, black operatives, people who assist white supremacists, and are rewarded handsomely for it quite often. So we we have those people and other non-white groups have those people and white supremacy would not be as effective as it is without those without those operatives. All right. Now let's apply all of that everything you just heard to Justice Thomas and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 specifically. Now, the Voting Rights Act of 1965 was really the crowning achievement of the Civil Rights Movement. No piece of legislation has had the impact on the African-American community like the Voting Rights Act of 1965. And we have to take a moment and say thank you to the very courageous people who fought for it with their blood, with their sweat, their tears, through marches, and sometimes some of them gave the ultimate sacrifice. Of course, Dr. King, Mega Evers, and others. I think about those three young men, Swy, Cheney, and Goodman. their last names. I can't think of their first names. All right. But today, there's a man on the Supreme Court, the man that you see sitting beside me here, who is the only black man on the court, and he is literally leading the charge to finish destroying again the crown jewel of the Civil Rights Movement, the Voting Rights Act of 1965. and he is literally leading the charge to completely destroy what remains of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. You could say that he has declared war on the remaining sections of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. and see if he wins if he wins his war, black voters across America will lose huge political power. I just think to myself, how can he with a straight conscious do that knowing the sacrifices that our ancestors made fighting white supremacy? and it culminating in the Civil Rights Act of 64, the Voting Rights Act of 65, and other Civil Rights Laws. How can he go to bed at night knowing that he's leading the charge, a black man from Georgia, against the Voting Rights Act of 65? Now, this current case started in Louisiana. But if Thomas wins this war, the impact will not be felt only in Louisiana. Potentially, the impact of what he's doing will be will be felt around the world. And I have to also throw in here while I'm talking about people who work against the African-American community, there are also content creators who I call pro blackack imposters who tell young blacks that voting hasn't done anything for black people, that voting doesn't matter, that they have the right to vote the couch. I disagree with that. When someone has has sacrificed what our ancestors have sacrificed and many of us still fight for today, no African-American has the right to not vote or to vote to help white supremacists and certainly don't have the right to attack the Voting Rights Act of 1965. So these pro black imposters are just as bad as Clarence Thomas, maybe worse because they have street credibility. Thomas doesn't have that. These pro black imposttors, they have credibility in these YouTube streets. Unlike Thomas, okay? And that's because they look and talk like they're pro black. They dress like they're pro black, but some of them are again just as dangerous and cunning as Thomas. But I want to focus on Thomas in this video. I want to show you how he is using his seat on the highest court in America to help white supremacists destroy black voting power. All right. Now, let's take a a look back for a second. After Selma, Congress passed the Voting Rights Act of 1965 to outlaw the racist voter suppression tactics of southern whites. Various sections of the act have been targeted by different types of voter suppression. Right? So we have had for example literacy tests, pole taxes, grandfather clauses, violence and so on to keep our people from voting. That's how powerful voting is regardless of what these pro blackack imposters say. So there are various sections of the Voting Rights Act that are really, really, really, really important. All right? For example, sections four and five of the Voting Rights Act. They work together against such things as pole taxes, literacy tests, grandfather clauses, and so on. by doing one simple thing. Those two sections working together required that southern states get pre-approval, pre-clarance before they can make any changes to their voting laws. And that was very, very effective at doing away with those voter suppression tactics. did so well in fact that we have put a lot of people in Congress and of course that culminated with Barack Obama being elected and reelected as well as Kla Harris being elected and unfortunately she wasn't elected to the presidency. She we did we were able because of the voting rights act to elect her to become the first black female u vice president and that again is only because of the voting rights act. All right. But Clarence Thomas voted with white supremacists to get rid of or to sort of dismantle sections four and five of the Voting Rights Act in a case called Shelby County versus Holder. All right. So four and five, sections four and five were essentially gutted by the United States Supreme Court in 2013. And Clarence Thomas was one of those in the majority who caused basically the dismantling of those two sections. And so that enabled southern states, those notorious voter suppressing states, to re-implement laws, voter suppression laws, and use those laws against us African-Americans. And it's the reason why we had a Trump one and we're dealing with a Trump 2 now. That was 2013. All right. Three years later, Donald Trump won his first presidency and of course he has now been reelected. All of that is the result of voter suppression laws that were implemented after Scotas with the help of Thomas got rid of or dismantled those sections section four and five. All right. Now sections four and five again have been instrumental in bringing about the promise of the 15th amendment which says that our right uh to vote should not be abridged. But that meant nothing for 100 years until the voting rights act was enacted. But the major sections four and five, Thomas helped white supremacists gut those sections. Now Thomas is working almost singlehandedly to get rid of another really important section of the voting rights law and that's section two. And what section two does is it bans laws or election maps that dilute minority voting power. So sections four and five dealt with individuals right to vote and it prevented again those states from passing laws that interfered with an individual's right to vote. Section two deals with another type of voter suppression tactics and that is where whites would draw election maps that dilute black voting power. Okay? And they did so in two ways. Something in the law we call packing and another something we call cracking. Packing is when the the election map, those district maps will pack a bunch of black people into one district. One district. And then cracking is when they take the rest of the blacks in a state and crack them or put them disperse them in other districts so that their voting strength is diluted. It's not as powerful. So understand, so section two prevents states from drawing election maps that both pack black people into one district, thus diluting our voting power, and then cracking the rest of black folks in a particular state across many different districts, thus diluting those voters as well. That's what section two works against. All right? and it has been effective in doing so and it's the reason why we have blacks throughout Congress, throughout state legislatures, local government and so on. So section two is really really important. Section four and five are as well. What we need now, let me just talk about those for a moment before we go further. What we need now because of Shelby County is we need to get a Congress that is amanable to enacting the John Lewis Voting Rights Bill. I don't know the exact wording, but there's a bill that has been trying to get through Congress. the GOP continues to block it. That would repair the damage to sections four and five so that those states would once again have to get preclarance before they change their voting laws. All right? Because right after that Shelby County case, states like North Carolina, Florida, Texas, Georgia, these states began to reenact other voter suppression laws. They're different from, you know, the pole taxes and the literacy test. They're different from that. They don't do that anymore, but they do it through voter IDs. Um, what they're trying to do now is you got to prove your citizenship, all that type of stuff. In Georgia, they even uh got it where if blacks are, you know, people standing in long lines for hours, you can't give them water or food or anything. I mean, all that is the new form of voter suppression that we could stop if we could get the John Lewis voting rights bill passed. And that's because the GOP blocks it. They they block it. We can't get it through them. All right. So, that really leaves section two. But again, Clarence Thomas wants to gut section two. He is working hard to strike down section two. Now, we see that being played out right now in Louisiana. All right, Louisiana. Black Louisianans make up 31% of the voting age population. Nearly one in three of the voting age people in Louisiana is black. One in three. That's a third. Yet for years they only control one out of six of the congressional districts. All right. Onethird of the voting age population is black. but they only control one out of six of the conre congressional districts. That's changed now. I'll I'll tell you about it in just a second. But Clarence Thomas is trying to take it back. It was one out of six for years and the NAACP and some other plaintiffs sued Louisiana and were able to get another uh congressional district controlled by blacks where Clarence Thomas is now trying to not only take it back to one, but he's also trying to gut section two, which protects black voters against packing in cracking or what's called also racial gerrymandering. So he's leading the charge, literally leading the charge against section two. So make sure you understand the numbers. Blacks, onethird of voting age people. Yet for years they only controlled 17% of the voting districts. All right, that is an imbalance, right? You control you you you represent 30% a third 33% a third of the folks who are eligible to vote, but you only control 17% of the voting districts. That is not by accident. That is the way that they have been controlling elections for decades. And the thing that has helped us again make progress is the Voting Rights Act of 65. So it doesn't surprise us or it shouldn't surprise us that there are people who are trying to completely take it apart. They've been successful with that Shelby County case of gutting sections four and five. Thomas is leading the way now with section two. So, back to Louisiana. In 2022, the Louisiana legislature passed a map that preserved white control of five districts. And the governor at that time, John Bill Edwards, he vetoed that bill. The legislature overrode his veto and then civil rights groups sued the state of Louisiana and they won. A federal court ordered the state to create a second black majority district. And so that went from that made the black majority uh control uh go from one district to two districts following that lawsuit from the NAACP. All right. So that map gave blacks more voting power and it was signed into law in early 2024. But white conservatives sued the state of Louisiana. So let's let's let's review what happened here. So for years, although blacks made up onethird of Louisiana's voting population, they only control 17% of the voting districts. So they sued and won. and and a federal court required that they create another map and give blacks a second district that blacks were the majority in. All right. White conservatives sued. You could say white supremacists sued because they didn't like blacks getting another district. This time, this time they claimed, get a load of this. This time they claimed that giving blacks another district, a second district, violates the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. You heard it right. You heard it right. Whites are now using the equal protection clause to propagate white supremacy. The equal protection clause of the 14th amendment was added to the constitution to help us fight racism. Now whites use it to help propagate racism. Let me say it again. White supremacists are now using the equal protection clause, which is to provide equal protection under the law for everybody. Whites are now using that clause to propagate racism because it is not racism for blacks to have two districts out of six. That's one/ird. When they represent onethird of the voting population, that's only fair. If you make up onethird of the population, you should be in control of onethird of the voting districts. It'd be different if you make up one/3 and you're trying to get one half. That's what they're doing. That's what that's the that's the racist part. They can make up 40 50% of a state yet control all the voting districts. That's the racism. And now they're using the equal protection clause to further that racism. Now, they're making that argument based on the fact that when the state drew up their their new the SB1 uh voting map, they considered the race of of obviously of African-Americans to create that second district. And they're saying that that violates the equal protection clause. In other words, if you take any consideration of race, if a state takes any consideration of race, then they are they're arguing that that violates the equal protection clause. Even if the consideration of race is to help alleviate racism, we can see that it's a violation of the equal protection clause. If somebody if the state takes race in consideration to harm blacks, but if the state takes race in consideration to help blacks overcome racism, that is the purpose of the equal protection clause. Okay, did you hear me there? It's important that you understand this. When you understand this, one benefit of understanding, you know, the Bible says, "In all thy getting, get an understanding." One benefit of getting an understanding is you cannot be deceived by these pro blackack impostors. You can't be misled. You can't be miseducated. You'll know the foolishness when you hear it. All right. So again, the equal protection clause was added to help us overcome racism. Now, white supremacists with the help of Clarence Thomas are using the equal protection clause to propagate racism. I mean, it is that twisted nowadays. And again, Clarence Thomas is a key factor in them using the equal protection clause against us. So, this case has now reached the United States Supreme Court, and that's what it's all about. is all about whether or not a state can consider race to end a racist practice and that not be a violation of the equal protection clause. Clarence Thomas is in favor of finding that if a state uses race to address racism, it still violates the equal protection clause. So he sees section two of the voting rights act and the way the court has used it to fight racial gerrymandering in conflict with the equal protection clause. and he wants the equal protection clause to destroy section two, the last remaining enforcement section of the Voting Rights Act. That is crazy. That is crazy. and especially for a black man. He wants the equal protection clause to be used against section two of the voting rights act. Both of these laws and amendments, the amendment and the law were both added to the constitution to address well the the the section two of the voting rights act was not added to the constitution but it was enacted to address racism. They both were they were added to address racism against African-Americans. and he wants the equal protection clause again, he want to use it to basically gut section two because currently in a case not long ago um the Milligan case uh having to do with Alabama, the United States Supreme Court, even several conservatives, I think, yeah, I think several of those conservatives, John Roberts and maybe one more, I can't remember the ex the the specific But they said no, you can use race to um you can use race with section two to prevent racial gerrymandering and it not be a violation of the equal protection clause. But Clarence Thomas, he goes further against section two even than the white conservatives, at least one or two of them. And some of them agree with him because again he's he's carrying their water. This is what they want. This is what they've always wanted to completely gut the Voting Rights Act. And if Thomas wins this war, then they would have gutted sections four, five, and two. And here's the thing, some of these voting districts exist. Some of our black voting districts exist because of section two. So if Clarence Thomas is able to use the equal protection clause, it's hard to even hear myself say that to gut section two of the voting rights act. then even some of these voting districts that exist now can be challenged and potentially gotten away with and done away with. We can we can definitely expect white supremacist if he gets his way to start filing cases against these voting districts that were created pursuant to section two. We can see white supremacist saying, "Okay, now that you uh gutted section two in this way, those voting districts for blacks now should be done away with." So, this is not just about Louisiana. And all of it is being led by a black man, Clarence Thomas. It is amazing. It it's it's amazing when in fact the court in that Milligan case said that race can be used to effectuate section two. Thomas was furious. He wrote a dissenting opinion displaying his anger at that. Even back then he disagreed with that. And so with this current case and what hap what has happened so far is uh it's reached the Supreme Court but the Supreme Court scheduled it to be reargued again. So it's going to come back before the court um this upcoming fall term. And if he gets his way, section two will be deemed unconstitutional based on again the equal protection clause. Because in Thomas's view, even fixing racism is racism. using section two to fix racism he believes is racism because of the equal protection clause which again was added to the constitution to fight racism. So those two laws, one is an amendment obviously the 14th amendment, the equal protection clause within it and section two which is a statute. They should not be as he's trying to do it. They should not be in conflict with it with with each other because they both were created to fight anti-lack racism. Wow. It all makes your head spin. I mean, this guy is just that determined to try to get rid of section two. Ultimately, that will hurt people who look just like him. In fact, I want to show you the last paragraph in his dissenting opinion regarding this Louisiana case, and you'll see how determined he has been for years to get rid of section two. Let's go there. At the very bottom, you see down there, it's highlighted. It says, "For over three decades, this is Thomas talking. For over three decades, I have called for a systematic reassessment of our interpretation of section two." The court's decision in Milligan is the latest and most damaging installment in the disastrous inadventure of this court's voting rights juristprudence. I am hopeful. Notice he says, "I am hopeful." For over three decades, he writes here, "For over 30 years, he has been trying to gut the Voting Rights Act, a very important section, section two, three over three decades." And so he says, "I am hopeful." In other words, when the case comes back before Scotas in October of this year or during the fall term, he says he's hopeful. He's finally hopeful that he has convinced white supremacists because those are the ones who are kind of resisting him. He's going even further than they than they want to go. But he says, "I'm hopeful that this court will soon realize that the conflict it jerence has sown with the Constitution is too severe to ignore because the court declines to reach that conclusion today and instead inexplicably without me understanding it, he's saying schedule these cases for reargument." I respectfully descent. So he is just distraught that he was not able to convince enough of them this time to gut section two using the equal protection clause. So brings me back to the question, is he the number one enemy of African-Amean people? Is he? Because again, if he gets his way, not only would Louisiana lose its second majority black voting district, but it could impact other states as well. I mean, it is crazy, but that's what he's doing. So, let me connect the dots. This wouldn't be happening if those three additions to the Supreme Court had not occurred. Who? Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanagh, and Amy Comey Barrett. Who added them? Trump. When did he add them? During his first term. Who did he think Who did he thank for winning the election? Blacks. Why can't some blacks understand that Trump is a white supremacist who is working to dismantle black progress? Why do they think just because whatever reason he is a friend to black people. These young people quite often will show up on the channel and say that old stuff that you all are doing doesn't work anymore. That's the impact and the effect of pro black impostors manipulating, miseducating, and misleading these young people. And it has had a detrimental impact on our community as these young people literally support white supremacy. And remember I said there's no way that white supremacy could be as effective as it has been without the help of operatives. And these young folks without even realizing it are being manipulated to be operatives of white supremacy. Just read that again. One of white supremacy's most effective strategies is using non-white operatives. These individuals are recruited, conditioned, deployed, and rewarded for betraying their own people while advancing the goals of white supremacy. Without them, white supremacy would struggle to operate as effectively as it does against others, especially Africa and the African diaspora. So those are not only the Clarence type, the Clarence Thomas types, the Byron Donald's, the Tim Scots and and the rest of them. But those who masquerade as being pro black yet support Trump and MAGA, they too are operatives who help white supremacists. There's no way you can be pro black and pro Trump. No way. So you make the determination of whether Thomas is in fact the number one most harmful impactful black person in the country against our community. All right, but I wanted to share this with you. This is really serious and you need to understand what he's doing and what others are doing just in a different way. All right, I am Reverend and civil rights attorney Augustus Corbett. Thank you for watching this video and folks wake up and then stay woke.
