Olga,
I had the luxury of watching several sets of hearing before the
Senate, at that time, in their entirety. Among the ones I watched in its
entirety were the hearings of Clarence Thomas.
Clarence Thomas was an absolute gentleman and a credit to his country
facing that group that he so accurately described as a "high tech lynch mob."
As I listened to those hearings over a period of several days it
became apparent what Clarence Thomas' sin was and is -- he got off the
plantation and built his own life without being beholden to any of those that
thought they owned him.
I will always admire that man for being able to face that mob day
after day, never giving an inch, answering every charge no matter how
transparent, and never acting any less than a complete gentleman.
I cannot sit silently and hear the good name of a person such as
Clarence Thomas trashed.
Ron h.
BTW, now that I have answered the comments about Clarence Thomas what does
that have to do with Dr. Sowell's column on IQ?
