In the South any relationship between a white woman and a black man was considered an act of treason by other whites back then. That fact alone made some women throw out false accusations. They didn’t have the guts to admit the relationship. It was considered a shame to their families and kins as well. They might could lose, no, in fact, they lost their positions in society because they’d been with men society viewed with contempt and disgust. Those were hard times. As you know, our schools were segregated back then and any attempt to be socializing interracially was frowned upon, to put it mildly. Admitting to having a relationship would brand them for eternity.
I think it’s not accurate to compare a woman whose accusing a man of power, not at all a pariah, to women falsely accusing black men back in the fifties.
Accusing a black man back then for just about anything was comparable to putting a bullet in his head in those days. It was as good as no downside. The accuser got shed of him but had by that been showing God her true colors.
What about accusing a powerful white man? How’s that going these days? Accusing a powerful man is never a good idea, that’s the truth. Mrs Ford knew it, yet she stepped up. Do you ever wonder why?

No one should be presumed guilty first. That is a very very dangerous path.
Sad to see Americans loosing there bearings and understanding of what has been the backbone of any modern judicial system.... due process.
You are actually supporting my point inadvertently, the veracity of a claim should never be based on status or lack thereof, it should only be based on facts and evidence, Kavanaugh had neither.
