another snip from the article>
ESSENCE: Do you think Clarence Thomas would have been confirmed into the Supreme Court had you been a white woman?
Hill: I believe that different people would have reacted differently. Remember, Strom Thurmond was on the Senate Judiciary Committee. I can't imagine that he would have been so willing to embrace Judge Thomas if in fact I had been white.
His attitude certainly would have been one that would have changed. And I think that might have been true of some of the other more conservative members of the Judiciary Committee.

As I think back on that hearing, I know that as a Pennsylvania Democrat, I will never be able to cast a vote for Arlen Specter.
