Smithsonian Black Museum Leaves Out Justice Thomas, Anita Hill Glorified

[Esmeralda]

Most everyone believed her. Her act of note is the courage it took to go before Congress and testify to what happened to her. To suffer the slings and arrows that she was attaced with for doing so. To stand up for sexually harrassed women. She deserves recognition

Oh...so Tawana Brawley should be in there as well? How about the Duke Lacrosse accuser?

Sorry....but if the allegations are not proven, whereas they may be legit, you can not give credit because they very well may not be legit.

Those two situations are not comparable. Anita Hill was/is a highly educated woman, an attorney and a law professor.

and her allegations were not proven.

Are you saying that an arttorney/professor has more rights as it pertains to the law than a dancer? Someone who is well educated is deemed as more believable than someone with a GED when it comes to allegations of abuse?

Are you sure you want that position to stand?

Are you trying to intimidate me? Are you sure you want to take that stand?

intimidate? Really? You take that as intimidation?

I simply stated how I felt. I never would believe that anyone would take a position in a debate where they say the credibility of an individual is based on their economic and educational background.

Yes, I take it as intimidation. If you read my post fairly, you would note that I said a woman like that has a lot more to lose, and yes, because she is intelligent and well educated, she knows how much she has to lose. A stripper doesn't have a lot of credibility with me. Any woman can get some kind of training or education to rise up in the world. Those who chose to live a life w/o dignity are not people I respect. And that other one, she was a very mixed up kid: Anita Hill was in a totally different league.

Typical bullet headed male: you have no idea what the situation is like, so maybe you should keep your mouth closed as you are exposing what a fool you are.

Isnt that sexism, you Marxist moron?

You did not take it as intimidation. You are simply using that as a way to make me look like an evil bad man that wants to intimidate the "sweet little victim"...

I don't believe you. I don't believe your story and I don't have any interest in debating an elitist who bases the credibility of an individual on their education.

So we are done.

I was approached by someone who would always make advances and often when I was with students. I finally approached the principal, telling him that if the perpetrator didn't stop, he would see a sexual harassment charge. It stopped immediately. But the principal was a good, decent person.

 

[Darkwind]

Thomas went 25 years in the supreme court without asking a single question. Why should he receive a place of prominence for being bad at his job? He wasn't even the first black SC justice.

Why would one ask a question when they already know the answer?

It depends on a lot of things. Certainly how good, decent and fair the supervisor or boss is. It depends on how old you are and how much experience of the world you have. It depends if the man bothering you is older than you, possibly a lot older. It depends if you are new to the organization. It even depends on if you are married.

I was pretty vulnerable being so much younger than the men, being single, just recently out of university, being completely new to the organization while they had all been there a long time, and really being naive.

Pathetic. Tells you the kind of BS history is in that museum.

Justice Clarence Thomas, the second black man to serve on the U.S. Supreme Court, is practically absent from the new National Museum of African American History and Culture.

Anita Hill, the woman who accused Thomas of sexual harassment, however, is given prominent billing in the museum.

The new Smithsonian, which opened in September, gives Hill pride of place in an exhibit on blacks in the 1990s. The exhibit features testimonies trumpeting her courage and the surge of women’s activism that ensued, while making only peripheral reference to the nation’s second black Supreme Court justice.

There is no showcase of Thomas’s own life and career, which ran its own harsh gauntlet of racial discrimination.

Keep reading…

I'm surprised you've been to visit. I wouldn't go for less than a hundred bucks.

Being a snitch will get you nowhere in life. You being a female and giving a hard slap to the face to the unruly male will give a deep impression and make an honest man think twice.

Justice Clarence Thomas is a lazy lump.

And you are a fucking retard.

Retard reply. If you want to impress me you have to think outside the box, unadulterated piece of shit would be a better metaphor.

1. I dont care if I impress a Marxist ass hat like you

2. Clarence Thomas is a great judge who is unpopular with the leftist drones like you because he actually reads the Constitution.

3. Your cause is a dying pile of shit that will be erased by a form of socialism that actually has a track record of working.

Yeah. I'm an elitist. I just value the dignity of women, and a woman who is a stripper/whore causes women to lose dignity. She's a shitstain on the gender. I'm sure you'd be estatic for your son to marry a stripper/whore; I would not be.

So basically you ignore the tons of paperwork he reviews, which is actually what he is supposed to base his decision on, right? All those briefs, pleadings, friend of the court filings, etc?

yes, it's a technical quibble.

For all we know, he ignores all that too. He just nodded yes to Scalia for 25 years. He'll probably retire soon now that he's required to feign interest in cases with Scalia gone.

your ideological hatred is noted.

So he never wrote decisions then?

He had interns for that

Keep stretching, hack.

I don't have to. Sitting on a bench for 25 years without asking a single question is bad enough.

According to what metric, The " i don't like him so I quibble about stuff" metric?

Obama went 8 years in the White House without acting like a President.

If he promised to keep making you rubes lose your minds, I'd take another 8

In contrast to George W Bush, you mean.

Obviously you hate America like Obama does.
3 more months and Michelle can go back to hating America too.

They'll probably erect a Freddie Gray statue along side O'J.

Then they'll steal it.

I wonder how long before they loot and burn the museum?
