Supreme Discomfort: The Divided Soul of Clarence Thomas
SUPREME DISCOMFORT originated from a much-commented-upon profile of Clarence Thomas that appeared in an August 2002 issue of The Washington Post Magazine . In it, Kevin Merida and Michael Fletcher, both Post staffers, both black, crafted a haunting portrait of an isolated and bitter man, savagely reviled by much of the black community, not entirely comfortable in white society, internally wounded by his passage from a broken family and rural poverty in Georgia to elite educational institutions to the pinnacle of judicial power. He has clearly never recovered from the searing experience of his Senate confirmation hearings and the "he said/she said" drama of the accusations of sexual harassment by Anita Hill.
SUPREME DISCOMFORT tracks the personal odyssey of perhaps the least understood man in Washington, from his poor childhood in Pin Point and Savannah, Georgia, to his educational experiences in a Catholic seminary and Holy Cross, to his law school years at Yale during the black power era, to his rise within the Republican political establishment. It offers a window into a man who straddles two different worlds and is uneasy in both—and whose divided personality and conservative political philosophy will deeply influence American life for years to come.

Let me start by saying I have been interested in knowing more about Clarence Thomas since the hearings that led to his Supreme Court confirmation. It was my thought there had to be much more that was not shared with the public about the accusations of sexual harassment by Anita Hill, his statements of "pulling himself up by his boot straps" and a host of other things that left puzzlement, dismay and disbelief in the hearts of millions of Americans as well as the party he represented.
This biography did not disappoint. This biography did not just speak of Thomas's poor childhood and upbringing in Georgia and his trek to Yale as well as other things that he, as I recall him doing during the confirmation hearing, but it shed light on a man who was deeply troubled, enigmatic and had a history of using crude language, fascination with pornography and telling dirty jokes for years. It pained me to read about how the Senate had no idea that this buffonary had existed for years and others had known about it....but never interceded. Maybe they didn't see the significance because “birds of a feather flock together " or just maybe they thought someone else should deal with it...or maybe they couldn't say much because they, too, had skeletons. Did silence give consent to other behaviors that would rattle and cause such a divide during the hearings?
It was revealed that there was a standing joke that repeatedly came up. For example, he loved Coca Cola. When retrieving his can off his desk on many occasions he would often say "someone put a pubic hair in my Coca Cola." His constituents would find that to be really funny; some would say "I didn't do it." My thought was this was a manner in which he could have possibly announced that something inappropriate had occurred or being considered.
Although the reading of this book sickened me...it held my attention and much of my curiosity was answered. Thomas, ironically as I recall, spoke of the many lessons that he learned from grandparents and the like. He didn't learn one of the most valued lessons that I learned from my maternal grandfather: you repeat what you don't repair! I also begin to feel sympathy for his wife, mother and other women in his path.
I can't help but feel anger toward him and government. It's sickening to know, as was revealed, that someone finally said "Anita Hill could not have made this stuff up....it was too close to the guy that I know!" Cooke and others did not want his confirmation derailed by the likes of his "personal and long warped behavior such as what I've listed and what I haven't. His long time friends, Bobby Knight, previous Indiana Hoosiers coach, Cooke and classmate Gordon Davis, in my opinion, gave continued consent for this ignorance, by being silent...and turning a blind eye/deaf ear. He, too, gave consent for his ignorance by declining to be interviewed. So he sits stoically on the high Court, Anita was made to feel like a jilted lover...and we the people have to settle with such hypocrisy. I guess it's true "there is supreme discomfort when there's a divided soul."

One of the best biographies that I have read. Two Washington Post authors speak to nearly everyone who has had contact with Justice Clarence Thomas, and in doing so put together the portrait of a complicated man.
Justice Thomas is staunchly against affirmative action, but has used his political influence to put African-American judges on the bench despite Republican opposition; he has developed lasting friendships from casual conversations while traveling, but has also held endless grudges against people for making a single statement to the press, cutting them off from communication forever; he inspires fierce loyalty among his clerks but refuses to debate his detractors. In college, he was a black nationalist who admired Malcolm X. He has also taken in some of his nephews, attempting to emulate his grandfather, who raised the Justice when his single mother found herself unable to provide young Clarence with opportunity.
At the end, Justice Thomas seems to be a man of firm belief and uneven temper who desires to do the right thing regardless of the cost. A fascinating read of a very human figure.

If you are in anyway interested in the Supreme Court, this book provides an interesting perspective on the origins of Clarence Thomas' ideologies. It does get a little slow in the middle.

Debunks myths. Puts the atmosphere of the times in proper perspective.
Is a fair portrayal of a perplexing man.
A must-read for Supreme Court junkies.

I would hate to have a book like this written about me; dissecting my life, discussing my upbringing, commenting on my past follies, analyzing my personality, discussing me with all my friends, family co-workers and anyone who might have 2 words to say about me. Ugh!
Thomas Clarence did not cooperate with the writers of this book nor did he want anyone else to it seemed. Those who asked Clarence Thomas if he would mind if they spoke with the authors were told he did mind. He is not a fan of the media; once bitten twice shy, and he has been bitten plenty.
Before I read this book the only thing that came to mind when I heard the name Clarence Thomas was that he had been accused of sexual harassment by Anita Hill. Now isn't that a sad and ignorant thing, that this is all I should know about a man who has accomplished plenty in his life. So on that basis, just learning more about Clarence Thomas than I knew, made this book a worthwhile read for me.
So who is Clarence Thomas? He is a Supreme Court Justice. He was appointed during the Reagan administration, his Senate Confirmation Hearing was a mess because Americans are obsessed with their political leaders' sex scandals and Anita Hill (who worked with him on the EEOC) had accused him of sexual harassment.
On that subject; the only ones who can know the truth are Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill. I have an opinion of course, probably so does everyone, but so what. I won't bore you with mine.
So I knew so little about this man I couldn't have told you where he stood on the political spectrum. First I found out Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton don't like him. I was like, oh I probably like Clarence Thomas then. Then I found out that he was good friends with Rush Limbaugh. Really?? So maybe I didn't like him so much.
No, actually I do overall like the Clarence Thomas portrayed in this book. He is such a mixture of good character traits and not so good ones, strengths and weaknesses; he just comes across as very human. He is easy to forgive for his less than stellar moments and decisions (for me anyway, someone who doesn't know him). He is a real shmoozer and I enjoyed that part of his personality. He is kind of larger than life in some ways, but still a very real man. Honestly, I can't get the image of him spinning around on his chair like a bored child during Supreme Court sessions out of my head. I should probably take such behavior seriously but it makes me laugh.
My oldest son has been through law school so I asked him what he thought of CT and his response was, he is smart but not Supreme Court smart like Ginsberg, Renquist and Scalia. His decisions aren't that brilliant. Well I figure CT made it to where he is, so good on him. People should be proud of him. Which most of his own people, African-Americans, are not. They don't like his conservative views and especially that he doesn't approve of or back affirmative action. I am in agreement with some of his opinions and some I am not in agreement with. But who am I? I'll keep my opinions to myself.

very long expansion of their Wx Post magazine profile of the Supreme Court justice. If you're old enough to remember the confirmation hearings and Anita Hill controversy, not much new there, except perhaps (or at least I'd forgotten it if I heard it before) for the detail that someone else from Thomas' law school days recalled his previous use of the hilarious "who put this pubic hair on my coke can?" joke, which would seem to bolster credibility of Hill's testimony.
A few other tidbits that made me think even less of Justice Thomas (he's good friends with Bobby Knight and with Cowboys owner Jerry Jones), but mostly a prosaic recap of stuff that is widely known -- he resents being thought of as Scalia's second vote on the Court, feels hurt that civil rights organizations oppose him, is exceptionally bitter about the confirmation hearings (aka "high-tech lynching"), hardly ever says anything at oral arguments before the Court.......
One oddity of the presentation: there's a 6-page Author Note and 3 pages of acknowledgements, all adding up to what is obvious from the text -- Justice Thomas refused to be interviewed, but lots of his relatives, friends, old teachers, and colleagues agreed to be interviewed.
Justice Thomas obviously had a tough upbringing and has experienced racism, and I'd like to be more sympathetic, but if this account is anywhere close to accurate he's such a disagreeable person that it's not easy.

It's not easy to take one of the most controversial figures of the last twenty-five years and produce a balanced examination of his career and (more importantly) his psychology. Merida and Fletcher do just that. Although they ultimately come to many of the same negative conclusions that many of us have prematurely reached about Thomas, they do so in a thoughtful, nuanced manner. At times, they go a bit off course in exhaustively examining the lives of his family members and the career of his predecessor, Thurgood Marshall, but this is a fascinating read about a person whose impact should not be minimized.

I read this book seeking an understanding on why an American Descendant of a Slave would be a strict Constitutional enforcer. African Americans were still enslaved when the Constitution was created and was only considered 3/5th of a person for tax purposes. How he can insist on equality among all races by ignore this fact, totally mystifies me. I am still searching for answers.
While I understand that past experiences have the ability to scar certain viewpoints for life, I am still puzzled why Justice Thomas would try to eliminate for others the very opportunities that created HIS success. This intrigue will continue....

Clarence Thomas is the one of the most misunderstood high profile Black person in America today, maybe the most misunderstood. This biography sheds a light on the complicate persona of Justice Thomas. Occasionally I felt the authors' personal biases showed through with a few snarky comments on Thomas' often contradictory views and statements on race. But overall it is by far the most compelling biography that I have ever read about Clarence Thomas.
July 12, 2007
I thought this was fascinating and disturbing...it portrays Thomas as a fairly tormented and dysfunctional man whose judicial philosophy is rooted primarily in his personal struggles. It was also interesting to read about his relationships with other justices and political figures. I recommend it!

Fascinating read about Clarence Thomas and his life experiences. Well researched. He is a man that can not be boxed. He is neither "black" or "white".
I have a greater interest in the Supreme Court and it's roll in government.

Compelling story. Would be very sad but for the influence Thomas will have on the Court for years to come. Personal demons galor.

While I was indeed a little skeptical of this book as it was written from the perspective of a Washington Post author (they are generally left leaning; and this is a conservative man in many respects), the book surprised me to be very well written for the most part. I want to first explain my review of 4 stars. I would have given this book 5, but I really didn’t enjoy how they painted Clarence Thomas as an insecure man. I feel that was their bias coming out... Also, they left out many things that could have made the booker better (and included things that were useless [like the last chapter]). However, this book from an investigative standpoint seemed to be great and deserves 5 starts in that regard.
The authors never were given the chance to speak with Clarence himself, so they were forced to talk to literally everyone else around him that they could find (both people he associated with in his past and in his current life). The authors did such an incredible job with this. True journalism at its finest. They talked to neighbors of Clarence, old friends who still live in Pinpoint, GA, old administrative staff at his past schools, etc. I did enjoy hearing what other people said about Clarence, but deep down I was really looking for essentially a compendium of all the “important” stuff that Clarence said himself. That is something I felt this book was lacking.
The childhood (and past) of Clarence was covered immaculately in my opinion. I feel like I do not need to even go and read Clarence’s own book (My Gradfather’s Son) because of how well the past of Clarence was documented. This is actually super important because it helps to explain why Clarence acts like he does now. That sort of chronological data really helps to put things into perspective. Based on just the historical data alone in this book, I would highly recommend this to anyone.
As the book presses onwards, it talks more about how Clarence judges (both on and off the Supreme Court), but I do feel the book was lacking here too. I really wanted a good overview of all the important opinions that he had over all these years, but I was not given that. Don’t get me wrong, the book did go into many of his opinions, but I do not see why they couldn’t have a whole chapter or two dedicated to most of his opinions. Those say a lot about a judge and that would have helped more. Further, the authors only spent a brief half page describing how originalist/textualist judges think, and I really feel like they could have dedicated a good half a chapter to this too. This ideology is exactly what Clarence believes in and explaining to the reader the infrastructure of his thinking would be extremely helpful. However, I may be asking too much of the authors. One can only do so much with a book!
Overall, I learned a great deal about Clarence. If I had to write a brief summary of who he is as a person I would write the following lines. Clarence was born a poor child in Pinpoint, GA. He did not have a stable family/life as an infant, but was given that opportunity when his mother gave Clarence to her father to take care of him (he then started living more of a middle-class lifestyle). This is where Clarence really learned about hard work, perseverance, keeping your head low and pushing on. He wanted to become the first black priest of GA, but due to some insensitive/racist words [about MLK] of someone in his seminary, he left that dream behind. Clarence went on to Yale ultimately to get a degree that he found was worthless (got rejected from many places) and eventually decided to take a job as a menial clerk with Representative Danforth of Missouri. This is where he started to interact with political figures (especially conservatives/Republicans). This led him ultimately to the EEOC, then to the US Court of Appeals for DC, and then finally as a Supreme Court Justice. He is all for rejecting past precedents of the court (because he sees them as applying the constitution incorrectly) and for banning discrimination (both positive [like affirmative action] and negative). He is a textualist. He really loves to understand what the founding fathers thought when they wrote the document. He disagrees with the Constitution being a “living, breathing document”. His nomination scandal with Anita Hill really upset him and he holds many grudges (especially against the media) because of that. He doesn’t talk much on the court because he doesn’t feel like judges are their to “entertain” and he doesn’t like confrontation/debates. He is a super nice judge and person and people on all sides of the political spectrum have really come to like him after meeting him and spending time with him.
Please read this book. Even if you find some of it boring, you can always skip through it to the more “useful” chapters. This book has more good than bad! People of all walks will be able to find something worthwhile in this book!

Recent publicity about Justice Clarence Thomas prompted my curiosity about him, and I learned a lot about him from this book. He is a very enigmatic public personality and the authors were not successful in making things more clear.
Published about 16 years ago, the events in the book obviously predate the death of Justice Scalia as well as the current stories questioning Thomas' ethics and required disclosures in annual reports of financial transactions.
The authors are both African American and I think their perspective helps the reader gain an understanding of the contradictions in the public personality and judicial career of their subject.

Interesting life. Thomas is derided by liberals yet he grew up poor and has seemed to turn his back on the people that he grew up with. He seems to have a lot of personal anger.

Would have given a 3.5 if an option Clearly a complex man.

Well written, balanced exploration of this complicated Supreme Court justice. After reading the book, I realized Clarence Thomas is more complicated than I thought. The title aptly reflects the primary conclusion I reached. His life is full of contradictions.

Merida certainly made the most of what he had to work with. An interesting effort even though he did not get much participation from several key players.
