State Rep. Juandalynn Givan launched a blistering attack on U.S. Supreme Court Associate Justice Clarence Thomas in a fiery video Monday, calling him an “Uncle Tom” and a “lynchman,” as well as accusing him of betraying the Black community.<\/p>\n
Her remarks came in response to a Monday Supreme Court<\/a> ruling on redistricting, in which the justices struck down a 2023 court-ordered congressional map that had helped create an additional Democratic-leaning seat in the 2024 elections.<\/p>\n The decision could clear the way for contested maps that would eliminate two Democratic-held congressional seats, potentially impacting Reps. Terri Sewell and Shomari Figures.\u00a0<\/p>\n In the scathing rebuke, Givan argued that Thomas has undermined minority representation in Congress and went further, likening him to a slave trader and a sell-out within his own community.\u00a0<\/p>\n WHY THE SUPREME COURT GUTTED THE VOTING RIGHTS ACT AFTER SIX DECADES IN A BLOW TO BLACK POLITICIANS<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n “He must\u2019ve been the one that sold us out in Africa. He must have been. His ancestors had to be the ones that sold us out in Africa<\/a> that caused us to be chained,” Givan said on Facebook. “He is the man who has turned us back into the hands of the master.”<\/p>\n “I don\u2019t know what kind of Black he is. I don\u2019t know what d\u2014 plantation this man came from. I don\u2019t know what slave ship he was on. I don\u2019t know what part of the slave ship he was on,” she added.<\/p>\n “You have sided with the Republican Party. You are a freaking straw boss\u2026 or d\u2014 Uncle Tom for these people. I just don\u2019t get it,” she said.\u00a0<\/p>\n ALABAMA’S CONGRESSIONAL MAP HINGES ON US SUPREME COURT<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Thomas, who acts in a supervisory role over district cases covering Alabama, has consistently opposed “racial apportionment” of congressional seats, arguing that such practice is discriminatory and would violate the Constitution.\u00a0<\/p>\n His Monday decision effectively overruled the 11th Circuit Court judges\u2019 court-drawn map<\/a>, which could have further allowed Black voters to elect their preferred candidates in the upcoming May 19 primary.<\/p>\n Givan noted that the new ruling could render two seats null and void, potentially forcing a new vote under the newly permitted maps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" State Rep.
