State Rep. Juandalynn Givan (D-Birmingham) went on a vile rant against U.S. Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas because of his recent vote in the redistricting case.
Thomas agreed with the majority in Louisiana v. Callais, ruling that the intentional creation of a second majority-Black congressional district in Louisiana constituted an unconstitutional racial gerrymander. By altering the Gingles factors to require proof of intentional discrimination rather than just discriminatory effect.
The court then handed Alabama a major victory earlier this week, vacating the lower-court injunctions in Allen v. Milligan, Allen v. Caster, and Allen v. Singleton.
Givan posted a video on her social media, insulting the decision of Thomas.
“This mf’er, this man, this Uncle Tom, this Uncle Tim…and I’m so pissed and I said this today…this black man right here, I don’t know what kind of black he is,” Givan said. “I don’t know what damn plantation this man came from. I don’t know what slave ship he was on. I don’t know what part of the slave ship he was on.”
This diatribe comes just a few days after calling her colleagues in the State House racist over the recent special session.
“I have never in my life met a black man who has never done any damn thing at all in the position that he has that would ever benefit black people and this man is just as dark as I am,” she continued. “First of all, you just pissed on the 11th Circuit. You just pissed on the judges in the 11th Circuit. You literally have ruled to take away two damn congressional seats because that’s what’s going to happen. You have sided with the Republican Party. You are a freaking straw boss…a damn Uncle Tom for these people. I just don’t get it.”
Governor Kay Ivey signed a proclamation Tuesday calling a Special Primary Election for August 11, 2026 in Alabama’s 1st, 2nd, 6th, and 7th Congressional Districts.
“I do not say the N word. You have not ever heard me use the N word to say it out. I may say reggin,” Givan added. “That’s it spelled backwards but this reggin right here, this reggin right here. This man. I’m telling y’all. This mf’er must’ve been there, he must’ve been the one who sold us out in Africa. His ancestors had to be the ones that sold us out in Africa that caused us to be chained. I don’t understand this man.”
“Today this man has forever turned the clock, he is the man who has turned us back into the hands of the master,” Givan said. “Help me understand this black man right here. Help me understand this crazy ass Uncle Tom. Help me understand this lynchman. Help me. Help me understand him.”
