He does not want to appear to cast blame on other players, undermine Hill, or racialize the case. But racial politics were played on and played out (by conservatives and Thomas). It’s hard to address that fact without opening a can of worms.
I wish a good political writer would do an editorial that reflects the context of the time.
Unfortunately, the hearing’s deconstruction, in light of current issues, has taken such a hold that it is near impossible to take a nuanced and more complex look at the matter.
