‘Uncle Clarence’: Twitter Allows Racial Slurs, Death Threats Against SCOTUS to Fly Hot and Heavy

Almost immediately, leftists took to Twitter to make their feelings known — often straying into threats of violence. In tweets that as of now remain on the platform, a number of Twitter users made death threats against Clarence Thomas, who is widely perceived to be the most conservative Supreme Court Justice.

“We should kill Clarence Thomas,” said one Twitter user in response to another who said they “did not know how to realistically stop” the undoing of “decades of progress.”

“Kill Clarence Thomas. KILL CLARENCE THOMAS,” said another Twitter user.

….

Other users went for racial slurs instead of violent threats — also a violation of the Twitter rules, although most of the slurs remain hosted on the platform.

Multiple Twitter users began referring to Thomas as a “house ni**er.”

Earlier in the day, Twitter allowed the term “Uncle Clarence” to trend on the platform, a reference to the racial slur “Uncle Tom.” Like “house ni**er,” it refers to blacks who are seen as overly aligned with whites, with the unspoken assumption that both races are destined for neverending conflict.
