Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas pushed back against the expectation that Black Americans must hold liberal political views, comparing restrictions on intellectual freedom to the segregation he experienced as a child in Georgia.

Thomas, 78, made the remarks during a rare appearance on Sen. Ted Cruz's podcast, "Verdict with Ted Cruz," where he described himself as "a walking contradiction" in the eyes of those who believe race should dictate ideology based on roughly nine hours of one-on-one conversations between the senator and the justice.

When Cruz noted Thomas's "individualist streak," the justice responded by recalling a saying from his youth. Fox News reported his reply:
"We had this saying [that there are] only two things I have to do: stay Black and die." [https://capitalisminstitute.org]
