Having seen it first hand, ie the colour demarcation signs, the segregation and separation rather than reading about it, is visceral and heightens the level of incomprehensibility and repugnancy. And the reason is simple, the left despises Clarence Thomas. But number two, very directly, this is a political campaign designed to smear Justice Clarence Thomas. It would have been illegal for me to use the non white lift and public facilities, illegal for my wife, son and daughter to use the white facilities. Number one, to delegitimize the Supreme Court of the United States because they’re angry that there are a majority of constitutionalists on the court. Inter - racial marriage was illegal there for many years so our marriage would have been illegal under the NOTE Prohibition of Mixed Marriages Act 1949. One of the things that brings the abomination of apartheid into immediate perspective for me, is born out in the fact that my son is African, as is my wife and my daughter of NZ and Ethiopian heritage. Separate facilities such as lifts, stair cases, public bathrooms etc for whites, blacks and coloured. Although born in NZ was brought up as a child in Southern Africa and visited SA about 1969 with late parents and witnessed apartheid first hand when we visited from Malawi. Your first lecture has particular meaning for me and my Euro-African family.
