What was Ginni Thomas thinking?
Clarence Thomas's wife's out-of-the-blue phone call asking Anita Hill to apologize revived a 19-year-old story that was pretty much dead. It even gave an old girlfriend of the justice an opportunity to air her own tales of Thomas's sexual peccadilloes. What was Ginni Thomas thinking?
Here's the voicemail she left the surprised Hill:
"Good morning, Anita Hill, it's Ginni Thomas. I just wanted to reach across the airwaves and the years and ask you to consider something. I would love you to consider an apology sometime and some full explanation of why you did what you did with my husband." And she went on to say, "So give it some thought. And certainly pray about this and hope that one day you will help us understand why you did what you did. Okay, have a good day."
Conservative columnist Armstrong Williams defended Mrs. Thomas's call by citing her religious beliefs. "Christianity is a religion of forgiveness," he wrote, "and as Christians, we're not only forgiven for our own wrongs, but we're called to forgive others for theirs."
But asking for an apology is a strange way to forgive.
Williams said, "With an unwavering loyalty to both her husband and the Christian faith, she followed the admonition of her Creator to engage in a dialogue of reconciliation, with the hope of releasing everyone from this burden."
If Ginni Thomas really wanted a dialogue of reconciliation she would have called Hill at a time when she would be in her office and asked to meet with her privately. She could have acknowledged the pain that Hill herself had to experience and the effect the hearings had on her life. Where was her compassion for Hill? What did she want Hill to apologize for? Did she really expect her to say, "Okay, I made up the whole thing up. I'm sorry."?
Anita Hill has always stood by her story, and Clarence Thomas has always denied it. Now Thomas's former girlfriend, Lillian McEwen, has come forward to say Hill's story sounded "familiar" and that Thomas was obsessed with porn and "was always actively watching the women he worked with to see if they could be potential partners."
If anyone is to apologize, it is Ginni Thomas for carrying this burden of anger and resentment and for assaulting Hill with it all these years later. Maybe Hill will be able to find it within herself to forgive her.

Product (as if genuine Religion).
Note: As a Computer 'Graphic Designer' [using Corel, not Photoshop] me self that sometimes i[WE] like to scream & say, "i Am G_D!"
Don't They and their xristian-gods Players {but NOt Ishlami Allah, Not JU YAWEH, not Hindu ISHVARA, Not Buddhists CONSCIOUSNESS etc.. but Exclusive to their GOD(s)Congregation of their Father/Son/Holy-Ghost and or Mother..}, or their smart-designer of their own imagined UNiVERSE (not Ours) & LiFE forms (Not our)]
