It's a hi-tech lynching, fumes Clarence Thomas
WASHINGTON : Supreme Court nominee Clarence Thomas denounced the graphic sexual harassment accusations against him Friday night, and said the hearing in his epnfirmation was "a high-tech lunching for uppity blacks,' reports AP.
After a day of testl- mony in which a woman who worked for him a decade ago leveled lurid charges against him. Thomas returned to the witness chair to tell the senate Judiciary Committee that its proceedings were "disgusting." Thomas and Anita F. Hill provided contradictory testi-mony. forcing the Senate to decide their credibility in weighing Thomas confirmation vote next Tuesday. Thomas testified bitterly but with composure, calling the testimony against him sleaze, dirt, gossip, nonsense, garbage and trash.
This is a circus," Thomas said of the riveting, televised hearings. "It's a national disgrace, and from my standpoint as a black American, as far as I'm concerned, it is a high-tech lynching for uppity blacks.
"It is a message that unless you kowtow to the old order, this is what will happen to you," said Thomas. "You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the United States senate rather than hung from a tree."
"I felt that implicit in the discussion about sex acts was the offer to have sex with him." Hill, a 37-year-old black woman testified.
”1 think the one that was the most embarrassing was his discussion of pornography and engaged in a variety of sex with different people or animals," she said
When she was done, many committee members said they admired her courage in going public, 10 years after the episodes she described.
Thomas said he had not listened or watched Hill's testimony.
Hill's appearance had generated speculation that Thomas might withdraw as the Supreme Court nominee, particularly after one Republican said that tt might kill the nomination
But Thomas flatly denied all of Hill's allegations
