Meritorious Manumision is still alive and well. The Virginia legislature enacted the Meritorious Manumission Act in 1710 to better control/managel negro slaves. Negro slaves were rewarded for turning on each other to preserve the peculiar institution of slavery. Negro slaves were rewarded freedom if they went out out of their way to save massa's life, invented something to increase massa's wealth and snitched on other slaves who planned escapes or rebellions.

Clarence Thomas was rewarded with prestige/power and access to a white women (an Anglo-Saxon throw away who supported the racist John Birch Society). Glenn Loury thinks Clarence Thomas should be immortalized in "The National African of Hustory and Culture in Washington D.C." and elsewhere. There's talk about white conservatives (former Dixiecrats) wanting to build a monument for him in Georgia. Lol!!!!

I disagree with Clarence Thomas on abortion, and I think religion should be totally separate from government, so he is not one of my heroes. However, if he was “rewarded with...access to a white women...) that makes her a slave. He married her.
