Following the Supreme Court’s decision on Thursday to gut college-based affirmative action, The View’s Whoopi Goldberg tore into Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, saying he’s “full of it” for claiming he “doesn’t know what diversity is.”

In a landmark ruling that will likely impact affirmative action policies across the United States, the high court ruled by a 6-3 conservative majority that universities could no longer consider race as a factor in admissions. According to the court, race-based admission policies violate the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.

In his concurring opinion, Thomas—who is Black—blasted fellow African-American Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson’s dissent, in which she called the ruling “let-them-eat-cake obliviousness” from a majority that “pulls the ripcord and announces ‘colorblindness for all’ by legal fiat.”
