Was it ever explained why Clarence Thomas put a pubic hair on Anita Hill's coke can?

Even more surprising, I thought he was only into white women??

So why bother with Anita Hill?

I dunno if some hot guy came by my desk and did the same I'd get wood.

Granted this is very much a counter-factual.

Why do food preparers spit in a customers’ food?

Same reason. (It’s not sexual.)

Power play. Not in a good way either.

I have no idea what you're talking about, R3.

That's not sexual.

That's hateful and spiteful.

R5 rape is sexual, as is sexual harassment, but neither are positive things to do to someone else.

I thought he made an insinuation about it, rather than actually doing it?

I remember thinking it was bizarre by any standard you'd care to name.

How could she tell if it was his pubic hair?

It was black and curly, R8.

It would be a full-time job to correct the false statements make on DL. Hill claimed that Thomas asked about a pubic hair he supposedly found on his own can of Coke. It wasn’t her can, and there was never any evidence to support her claims that he asked the question, had a can of Coke, or found a hair or any kind on a can.

Fuck, I like my scenario more.

His comment seems designed to degrade her - sexual bullying, basically. And DL-ers, if a gross female boss did that to you, you wouldn't like it much either.

YOU LIE!

Because the Chinese already put pee-pee in it.

I've been to Long John Silver's many times and I've never found a hair in my Coke!

And she was so offended that she followed him to another job

I bought a hair last week with a donut wrapped around it. It was at least six inches long. Is the baker hitting on me??

Even if he was, only 6 inches?

Pass.

"Because he was allergic to Pepsi Cola,Rose!"

r16 Clarence, is that you?

Maybe they both had Cokes and he wanted to mark which can was hers as to not drink it.

He wanted to get her by the short hairs.

It was his OWN can of coke, if I remember correctly. But he brought it up to her, which made it "inappropriate".

r23, the can was on his own desk. If he said anything about a hair, and there’s no evidence that the incident even took place, he would have been speaking to himself while Anita was eavesdropping.
