Harassment and Confirmation Hearings
The most interesting aspect of this whole fiasco is how Clarence Thomas all of a sudden “realized” he was black. Up until the point where Hill raised the allegation of his improper conduct, Thomas never mentioned that he was black and made every effort for his skin color not to be an issue. Yet, when it looked as if the appointment was in jeopardy, all of a sudden Thomas is a black being unfairly singled out. The hypocrisy is all too fitting for this appointee.
