N2  - When the Clarence Thomas, Mike Tyson, and O. J. Simpson cases emerged as high-profile media cases, a pattern was established in which Black men became symbolic representatives of three distinctively feminist issues. These issues were sexual harassment, rape, and domestic violence, respectively. This article argues that a competitive and antagonistic relationship, or a playing of gender against race, developed through this disproportionate media emphasis. Three explanations for the pattern are explored: historical biases, the structure of legal trials, and media philosophy.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
