[QUOTE="Tallguy88, post: 69333982, member: 237746"] Justice Thomas has also spoken about how his native language, Gullah, was practically beaten out of him in school. So that may be one reason he doesn't like to speak publicly. Edit: it seems Wiki agrees with me: "[URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/U.S._Supreme_Court']U.S. Supreme Court[/URL] Justice [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clarence_Thomas']Clarence Thomas[/URL]was raised as a Gullah speaker in coastal Georgia. When asked why he has little to say during hearings of the court, he told a [URL='https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_school']high school[/URL] student that the ridicule he received for his Gullah speech as a young man caused him to develop the habit of listening rather than speaking in public. Thomas's English-speaking grandfather raised him after the age of six in Savannah." [URL]https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gullah_language[/URL] [/QUOTE]
