I said ‘yes’. I read and reread a pile of Clarence Thomas’ papers, speeches, and what-have- you. As editor of a newspaper, I have often sought out different opinions before the newspaper takes an editorial stand. I remember at the time one our late political columnists who was a staunch Democrat was be- coming a staunch pro-Thomas supporter. When the hearings began, I actually and sincerely was ‘open’. As America was doing, we continued to watch and listen to what became soap opera hearings. I began to sense it a witch hunt long before Clar- ence Thomas’ “high tech lynch- ing” remark, and after I read the gigantic files, I had reached the conclusion on which stand the newspaper would take:

We join New the Journey Po- litical PAC in its campaign to get Supreme Court Justice Clarence his well-earned place in what should be an in- clusive museum for all Black persons who made Black and American History. Toward the end of those hear- ings, we endorsed Clarence Thomas for the U.S. Supreme Court. It was one the best deci- sions I have made as editor of a newspaper. To reiterate, here we are in the 21st Century, and there is still an anti-Republican bias when it comes to Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. That bias is about the same bull which has plagued the Black community and the Democrats’ hold on said community. ‘Bull’ is the best de- scription to describe the hysteri- cal Democrats, racist progressives, racist liberals, racist technocrats from Siliklan Valley (aka Silicon Valley), and the good-ole-Black boy- and-Black girl network of the Congressional Black Caucus (CBC). By the way, the Congressional Black Caucus should go ahead and make it official and rename itself the Congressional Black Demo- crat Caucus, seeing that its members have rejected the inclu- sion of Black Republicans such as Cong.
