Samuel L. Jackson taunts ‘Uncle Clearance’ Thomas on Loving v. Virginia

After the Supreme Court reversed Roe v. Wade on Saturday, actor Samuel L. Jackson criticized Justice Clarence Thomas in a tweet.

Jackson referred to Thomas as "Uncle Clarence" and made fun of the judge for his stance in the famous abortion case.

The Nick Fury actor wrote in a tweet, “How's Uncle Clarence feeling about overturning Loving v. Virginia??!!”

Interracial marriage restrictions were declared unlawful in the civil rights case Loving v. Virginia. Ginni Thomas is White and is married to Thomas, a Black man.

"Uncle Clarence" is perhaps an insulting allusion to the fictional slave "Uncle Tom," who is frequently connected with submitting to a White ruling elite.

Jackson is not the only individual to make race a factor in the most recent Supreme Court decision.

Following the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade, members of the Congressional Black Caucus are pleading with President Biden to issue a national emergency declaration.
