"My sadness is that we are probably today more race and
difference-conscious than I was in the 1960s when I went to school. To
my knowledge, I was the first black kid in Savannah, Georgia, to go to a
white school. Rarely did the issue of race come up. Now, name a day it
doesn’t come up. Differences in race, differences in sex, somebody
doesn’t look at you right, somebody says something. Everybody is
sensitive. If I had been as sensitive as that in the 1960s, I’d still be
in Savannah. Every person in this room has endured a slight. Every
person. Somebody has said something that has hurt their feelings or did
something to them — left them out. That’s a part of the deal."
Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas
