Anita Hill joins David Remnick and Jane Mayer to discuss how sex and race shaped Ketanji Brown Jackson’s experience, and her own.
Well, I found it just strikingly and depressingly familiar, particularly to the confirmation hearings of Clarence Thomas and the way that Anita Hill was treated. I have to say, that is the echo that I kept hearing in this, and, to some extent,.
and all these awful things. There were white men who were casting a woman as being somehow dangerous in the sexual area. I found that just depressingly familiar.I would definitely echo all of what you’ve said. The sexualization part is a way of denigrating women, and it was all done from this associational baggage that they were piling on her. She was associated with pedophilia because they disagreed with a sentence that she gave to one individual.
—that the highly politicized confirmation process began with the confirmation hearings for Robert Bork and Ted Kennedy’s accusations against him, and so on. Do you see that as legitimate?Oh, absolutely not. When you look back at the Bork hearings, you will see that there were Republicans who joined the Democrats voting against his nomination. It wasn’t as though there was a Democratic attack on an individual that no one on the Republican side agreed with.
around. Again, these kinds of tactics and approaches—none of that happened in the Bork hearing, but it did happen when the people that they were confronting were two Black women.Anita Hill, thank you so much for joining us. Now, Jane, I want to talk about Justice Clarence Thomas, and I should probably say that Anita Hill prefers not to talk about Thomas after those nomination hearings, so many years ago.
