Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas on Race in America Excerpts of the article (his quotes): "My sadness is that we are probably today more race and difference-conscious than I was in the 1960s when I went to school. To my knowledge, I was the first black kid in Savannah, Georgia, to go to a white school. Rarely did the issue of race come up. Now, name a day it doesn't come up. Differences in race, differences in sex, somebody doesn't look at you right, somebody says something. Everybody is sensitive. If I had been as sensitive as that in the 1960s, I'd still be in Savannah. Every person in this room has endured a slight. Every person. Somebody has said something that has hurt their feelings or did something to them -- left them out.
How do I get more followers on Instagram? I have only 40 followers, and I would enjoy having more people exposed to my pictures. I am following 25 people, have 21 pictures, and started my account 6 weeks ago. And no, I do not post useless self-portraits or food pictures. #soannoying
