He deserves no monument

Does anyone remember Anita Hill

And who is paying for it I hope not us. The tax payers. This is just another another Tio Tomas. Thee worse kind.

Nah…what great things exactly has he done to warrant a statue.

Not in favor of a statue for Uncle Clarence Tom

But the Democrats will tear it down weeks later.

I don't like the man's views at all. But perhaps the people of the town in Georgia where the statue will be should decide. At least he's not a Confederate.

They’re skipping over the Andre 3000 for this?

Bullshit. His own hometown doesn’t like or respect him.

YUCKY 🤮

Why?

How Come There Are Not More American Indian Statues In Georgia. Apalachee, Choctaw, Cherokee, Hitchiti, Oconee, Miccosukee, Muskogee Creek, Timucua, Yamasee, Guale, Shawnee and the Yuchi Had Origins In Georgia. 😉

Oh, hell no.

I always see how people keep talking about lisamiaBTC on Twitter so I decided to give it a try and it worked out perfectly for me also, she knows in and out of cryptocurrency....contact her for more details about Bitcoin investment, nobody handles business like she do.

Why? He’s an alleged sexual predator? Is this who we build statues of now?

Removing confederate statues was the right thing, we not honor traitors. However, those complaining abt Thomas r just being ridiculous; saying they rather hv confederates instead is just stupid. It seems that it wasn’t b/c it was confederacy, it was b/c it wasn’t who they wanted

erecting? couldn't have used a better word in a story about long dong silver. he's such an utter disgrace. so is the drunk, the seat stealer and the crazy woman

No, you should honor Professor Anita Hill. SHE should be honored. Not 'Pubic Hair in Coke Can' dude.

Let me guess. Democrats suggest a statue of an Oreo instead?

Is there a GA Hall of Shame to put it in?

A statute of Clarence Thomas would be a Confederate monument.
