Joe Biden in 1991: What Is Happening to Anita Hill Is a ‘Stereotypical Lynching of a Black Woman’

‘If that is not stereotypical lynching of a black woman, what is?’

EXCERPT:

BIDEN: “Mr. President what are we saying about a black woman who is as well educated as the black man in question, who has a better grounding in the law as a tenured professor of the law? What are we saying to her when we all acknowledge she sounds incredibly credible? If that is not stereotypical lynching of a black woman what is? Talk about stereotyping people to take an incredibly well educated black woman and conclude, notwithstanding the fact you look at her and listen to her, if you do, and say she appears credible, to say but there must be something wrong. She sounds credible. I cannot poke a hole in her story, so there must be something wrong. If that's not stereotypical treatment, I don't know what is.”
