ORIGINAL: mnottertail Hey, DYB: Would you: having Black in your handle (and I assume proud of it, if not at least ok with being black) consider that what transpired was: use the racist meme of a black man with white women to stir up racist sentiment, and then attempt to metaphysically "lynch" him. It's exactly like Thomas, in that respect. I mean I know it can be some dirty infighting in that respect among black folk, but would you characterize Anita Hill as a cracker? I know it might not be a totally PC question, but I think hyperbolic rhetoric is a driving force here, and not a sublime recapitulation of some pretty basic ins and outs of our American society and outlook, at large. I am proud to be Black and to be an American And just to sort this out. Clarence Thomas was a fat ass brotha that is balding. Anita Hill is a fyne looking woman. He was stretching just like any other man black,white, red, yellow or blue would do. We are human just like everyone else....we catagorize on looks just as much as anyone else. The story behind it coming out is racist to be sure and some republican did it....but the acts themselves are human. No color invovled. Make sense? DYB, imagine if one week noone wanted to sue you, then,...the next week, you hit the lottery! Every woman who you gave a glance to would be lining up to take some of your winnings. Poor and working class guys don't get sued for much of anything. That's because they don't have any money.
