I don't think it's particularly white intellectuals who feel threatened by Justice Thomas. I look more to the second generation of affirmative action beneficiaries, the DEI industry, and the political class that doesn't want to make the effort to diversify its "Look at me! I'm a victim!" portfolio. The clock is running out on this spiel, because, for example, the children and grandchildren of Vietnamese boat people who have made it here are not buying it.
A big question going forward is this: Are the 1619 project, Prof Kendi, et al. correct that the theory of our country is wrong OR instead, is the theory of the Declaration of Independence correct but the flawed Constitution failed to respect the human rights of black people, as an ugly political compromise?
Abraham Lincoln took the 2nd view: the universal humanity of the Declaration is the golden apple, surrounded by the silver (i.e., less good) frame of the Constitution.
So, America's black leadership class has a big choice to make.

The last time I was in Vietnam, a young Vietnamese woman approached me and said, "Me so horny...I like your color." Lol!
