A WILLING PUPPET?

I have not read the book “Capitol Games” (June 14), which deals with the Supreme Court nomination of Judge Clarence Thomas, and I do not intend to read it.

I am sick and tired of the glorification of Anita Hill by the white-owned media, predominantly white feminists, and white pretend-liberals who use her as a willing, often-grinning puppet.

What Anita Hill basically did was trash a black man before the Senate Judiciary Committee, on national television. Many, many black Americans were embarrassed, angered and outraged by the spectacle of this black woman trashing a black man.

A byproduct of her scandalous, partially vulgar performance is this: Regardless of how outstanding Justice Clarence Thomas may become as a member of the U.S. Supreme Court, the unforgetting, unforgiving, white-owned media always will tie him to that silly, vindictive Oklahoma law “professor” who emerged from obscurity, her natural habitat, to serve her masters and mistresses, Judge Thomas’ opponents, with her decade-old allegations of sexual harassment.
