The so called "black community" is suppose to be one of a loving and caring kind. However, in reality, everyone knows that the "black community" can turn their backs on you faster then a heartbeat. In the case of Anita Hill and Clarence Thomas that's exactly what happened. Anita Hill decided to voice the wrongs that had happened to her while working with Clarence Thomas, who had the time was about to be elected to the Surpreme Court. Instead of supporting her for voicing the wrongs, many black people shunned her for saying what happened to her. They felt that she shouldn't have said anything about what had happened because he was about to be put into a positive of power. But why should a woman of any color not speak up about what has happened if it is wrong. Regardless if both are black or white, a crime is a crime, and no one should have to keep quite just becasue some in about to be put into some kind of power. what people fail to realize is the message these words are sending to the younger generations. If you tell someone that they should keep their mouths closed because the person who did them wrong is a black man or a black woman and the "black community" needs to have someone black in power, then it is telling the same thing to the child of the "black community".
