-When the nomination moved to the floor of the Senate, it took a sudden and dramatic turn when Anita Hill, a law professor at the University of Oklahoma, came forward with accusations that Clarence Thomas had sexually harassed her.When Thomas testified about Hill's claims before the Senate Judiciary Committee, he called the hearings, "a high-tech lynching for uppity Blacks." The incident became one person's word against another's. In the end, the Senate voted 52-48 to confirm Clarence Thomas as associate justice of the Supreme Court.
-Did Anita Hill air Black America's dirty laundry?
I personally believe that it isn't "Black America's" dirty laundry, it is Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas. Yes, to me it seems trivial for this to be a huge nation wide case because she accuses Clarence Thomas of sexual. Was it that serious because he made a few inappropriate remarks against her? Maybe, however, I do understand that she feels wrong and that he should have to own up to what he did. Then again, why did Anita Hill wait so lng to come forward with these accusations? These are many questions I believe world wide readers and viewers are wondering as well as I am.
-Clarence Thomas's wife's voicemail...
Yes, she is his wife, however I do not feel that she can just call up Anita Hill asking her to apologize without hearing her side and not just her husbands. She is probably upset but she was not there to see what happened between Clarence Thomas and Anita Hill. Therefore, she can not determine who is right and who is wrong without seeing for herself. In conclusion, this is an ongoing controversy and will continue being one as long as people watch tv and read.
