I guess I was just unaware in 1988 (or whenever it was) that Thomas had a white wife. The main reason I asked about whether you meant mainly black women was regarding Jesse Jackson, Jr., who's a congressman in the Chicago area. Sometime in the last year or so it came out that Jr. had a blonde "social associate". There was a lot of comment in the local media, by those whom one would expect to know what they were talking about, that he had burned his bridges with the black female electorate. It does appear that black men are much more open to interracial relationships than are black women, who not only do not enter such relationships in as great a number as do black men, but who also are reputed to have a low opinion of black male-white female relationships, especially when the black man is economically successful.

It's interesting that you say that more blacks would have refused to vote for Obama if he'd had a white wife. Do you mean mainly black women?
Thomas absolutely was married at the time of his Senate confirmation hearings. He was married to Virginia Lamp, who is still his "white princess" today. And speaking about more blacks not voting for Obama had his wife been white, I mean both black men and black women. Many, many black people are opposed to other blacks "going white" when they become successful. I remember my mom commenting that she was glad and proud that Michelle Obama is black.
