Condescending white liberals have been handing down to the supposedly grateful black man what they’re patronizingly confident is good for him. And if an ungrateful black refuses this generous offering, white liberals, seemingly unaware of the racial vanity involved in their assumptions, are wroth indeed. But this is nothing compared to how wroth are this country’s dominant black leaders presently attacking Justice [Clarence] Thomas with rare venom, now that he’s assumed a position of real leadership on the Supreme Court. (Richard Grenier, “The Most Courageous Man in America,” Washington Times, 7/10/1995, p. 29.)
