Welcome, Professor Hill
Thank you
But I would read the newspaper, and I would hear
This is what was going on during the nominations
That was probably one of those
First times in politics where I felt very
Almost disillusioned that the process is not fair
My working relationship with Judge Thomas was positive
I thought he respected my work
I thought that by saying no and explaining my reasons
My employer would abandon his social suggestions
It was just the common, quiet, nice guy kind of violence
The teach 'em young to hold their tongue
Don't make a fuss it's fine, yeah
Its fine, yeah
You just gotta get used to it
But sometimes it's romantic, panic, passionate harassment
The older guy that made you cry or power of the president
I did not have sexual relations with that woman
Just take the compliment
You just gotta get used to it
You just gotta get
He would call me into his office
He talked about pornographic materials
This is not too bad I can read it
And films showing group sex or rape scenes
Are you a scorned woman?
Just kind of brushing off what she had to say as not that serious
Thomas told me graphically of his own sexual prowess
You are not now drawing a conclusion
That Judge Thomas sexually harassed you?
Yes I am drawing that conclusion, that is
Well then I don't understand
Pardon me?
And I don't understand
This is happening
But it can happen
Cause it happened to me
It was just the common, quiet, nice guy kind of violence
The teach 'em young to hold their tongue
Don't make a fuss, its fine, its fine, its fine
I was afraid of retaliation
Its fine, its fine, its fine
It is very difficult for people to come forward
But sometimes it's romantic, panic, passionate harassment
The older guy that made you cry or power of the president
And when you're a star they let you do it
You can do anything, whatever you want
Grab 'em by the
Just take the compliment
You just gotta get used to it
You just gotta get
All we've heard for 103 days is about a most remarkable man
Clarence Thomas, Mr. Justice Thomas
Our nation's newest Supreme Court Justice
