Anita Hill speaking out Clarence Thomas was really a big controversy 19 years ago. It is amazing to me that after 19 years, this controversy is still an issue. I really do not understand why Mrs. Thomas would contact Anita after 19 years. I think that Mrs. Thomas was still holding on to the fact that Anita testified against her husband. I also feel like Mrs. Thomas thought that Anita wanted her husband. To some degree, I wonder the same thing. Why did she wait so late to speak out on him sexual harassing her? Did she enjoy the comments until his comments became too explicit? These kinds of questions come to my mind when I read the articles. Many people thought that Anita was lying about Judge Thomas sexually harassing her. Anita started something when she spoke out about sexual harassment. Many people deal with sexual harassment in the work place, but many pay no attention to it. Sexual harassment could turn into something more, but with Anita that was not the case. Judge Thomas never acted on doing anything with Anita, he just made sexual comments. With some people, that is not always the case. Sexual harassment could lead to stalking, rape, or anything else. I am glad that she spoke out about it because it could have gotten serious. I respect Anita Hill for what she did and I feel that Mrs. Thomas should have not called Anita. Mrs. Thomas should have just let the matter go instead of opening up old wounds.
