He is an accelerationist. He believes it is in white people's nature to be racist. He believes Black liberation can only come if whites make it so hard on Black people that the only way to escape the abuse is through us looking inward.
His white wife can be explained as he recounted he attended a college where lighter-skinned Black folk ostracized him for being too dark (brown paper bag), so he chose a white woman from the Bush family looking for that acceptance his own people didn't give him. And at the same time, on some level, he hates his wife.
Clarence Thomas: From 'Black Panther Type' To Supreme Court's Conservative Beacon

"If you think that the measure of success of a justice is how many majority opinions he writes, well then Thomas ranks somewhat lower," Amar said. "But if instead the game is scored by how many new ideas someone gets into the conversation and eventually wins on, well, then Thomas is way high in the pecking order."
Thomas, for instance, did not write the court's landmark 2008 decision declaring for the first time that the Second Amendment right to bear arms includes an individual right to own a gun in one's home for self-defense. Scalia wrote that decision, but the first justice to propose that idea was Thomas, in a concurring opinion 11 years earlier."

Epps maintains that if you read Thomas' jurisprudence, the views of only one man count — his own. Thomas "alone knows the original meaning of these provisions," Epps said, "and even Madison, who wrote them, can be disregarded."
Epps added, "Now that takes a level of confidence or megalomania that I find really breathtaking."

Thomas has been introducing ideas that hurt
America Black people for 30 years.
