Clarence Thomas' Ex-Girlfriend Lillian McEwen Says He was "Obsessed with Porn" Bolsters Anita Hill's Sexual Harassment Claims

The soap opera with the lone black U.S. Supreme Court justice on the bench, Clarence Thomas, continues. This time, the Washington Post has interviewed his former colleague and ex-girlfriend Lillian McEwen, who said he was "obsessed with porn" as well as the bodies of his female coworkers, bolstering law professor Anita Hill's claims that he sexually harassed her decades ago at the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, where they both worked. The reality is, Virgina Thomas opened up a can of worms when she left that voice message for Anita Hill.

"He was always actively watching the women he worked with to see if they could be potential partners," Lillian McEwen, a former assistant U.S. attorney and one-time girlfriend of Thomas' told the newspaper. "It was a hobby of his." McEwen, now 65, remained silent for the past 20 years on Thomas' behavior to protect her career and image, she said.

The phone call Thomas's wife, Virginia, made to Hill Saturday, however, loosened McEwen's lips. "I have nothing to be afraid of," McEwen, who is currently shopping her memoir, said. In addition to being a prosecutor, McEwen was a law professor and judge. "I have no hostility toward him," she said. "It is just that he has manufactured a different reality over time. That's the problem that he has." Source: NY Daily News

During his confirmation hearing, Thomas who was nominated to replace the U.S.'s first black Supreme Court Justice, Thurgood Marshall, called Hill's testimony a "high-tech lynching for uppity blacks who in any way deign to think for themselves, to do for themselves, to have different ideas, and it is a message that unless you kowtow to an old order, this is what will happen to you. You will be lynched, destroyed, caricatured by a committee of the U.S. Senate rather than hung from a tree." Seems to me like his wife pulled out a hatchet and started lynching Anita Hill all over again by contacting her and stirring up a hornet's nest. Let's throw President Obama in the mix as well, since the organization she founded views him as a tyrant. Clarence Thomas pales in comparison to the respect and authority Thurgood Marshall commanded. He has come across as one who wants nothing to do with blacks and his past life. He seems to have forgotten that affirmative action helped him to get into the best schools to get his education.
