If conservatives were trying to block Thomas from speaking, it would be a racial issue.It may yet be a racial issue. The outrage of the Left is well documented regarding Thomas as, in their words, an "Uncle Tom" (sold out to whitey).
The peer pressure to maintain or grow the 90% of the black vote for Gore must be enormous. One has to admire the 10% having the fortitude to think independently.

I think that the caricature of Justice Thomas illustrating Wilkes' article in Flagpole Magazine (link in post 15) is racist and disturbing.
Excuse me, I forgot that only conservatives can be called racist.

"It may yet be a racial issue."
It IS a racial issue; if Justice Thomas were white, there would be no particular controversy.
When you're a slave to the Party line, black is white, or gray, or green, depending on the Party line.
Obedient leftists have no trouble acclaiming the execrable Byrd, and slandering the courageous Thomas.
I'm astonished that most lefties and liberals claim to have read Orwell's 1984; perhaps it is just that they read it to gain tips on how to succeed within their maleficent world.
