If ANITA HILL had been a white woman d'ya think Clarence Thomas would be a Justice today?

Would the white men of the day have defended the honor of a white woman and BELIEVED HER rather than believe the story told by an African American man about an African American woman? I dunno. I'm just asking.

So apprently Joe Biden apologized to Anita Hill for his terrible actions during that time. She said it's too little too late. She is right. He is only doing it to "look good" as a prez candidate. I don't buy it . He is still that guy. Only older.

    That would have been an interesting dilemma for some people.
    It would bring up images of black men being lynched, due to daring to be with a white woman - or even appearing to, or being accused of.

    I think it would have been even more divisive and nasty.

    But the white women would not have been sexually harrassed. The white women would have been happy to be with a great guy. I'm thinking Harry Belafonte or Denzel Washington or Dwayne Johnson or Will Smith or James Earl Jones or Morgan Freeman or Nat "King" Cole or a zillion other great guys who aren't famous. The Clarence Thomas was not a great guy by any means. He has not been a great justice. He rode the coattails of Scalia and he has been very quiet for a very long because he never should have been a Justice om the first place. In my opinion .Thank you for your reply Walt! :).

    Well, Thomas has POWER over ALL women.  That was before the me too movement.  So, I think OLD WHITE UNDER THE BLACK SKIN THOMAS would be backed by his good old white boys who had something to GAIN by having done him the favor of just not looking too closely at the charges.
    Now they have token black CONSERVATIVE Thomas as the puppet for them to do their bidding.  They own him now.  So any woman would have been disposable fodder unless it was a woman of power.  And notice NO ONE messes with women of power.  They just don't dare.  Bullies never dare that.
