I compare Kavanauagh to Justice Thomas. It is a replay of Thomas verses Hill.
At the risk of sounding racist (reverse racist?), there is a slight difference.
Clarence Thomas was given the kid glove treatment because he was black. The media stressed that race had nothing to do with the sex charges.
Here it's because Kavanaugh is a conservative white male that every neurotic female in town is frothing at the mouth. The media has played up the "dangerous culture" of white male privilege at Yale, etc.
