    When Black Conservatives Succeed

    Watch this bio-documentary interview and decide, not judge, for yourself. It's not often that we get a glimpse into the very personal story and actual struggle of a determined minority Supreme Court justice of the United States.

    Excellent and interesting life of Judge Thomas

    Thomas and his parents actually lived what so many crazy libs just talk about. I'll take this man's word over any ofbthem. Politics is an interesting thing. With the advent of big tech every word you say is likely to come back around at some point many years later. Situations that you found yourself in would likely come back around again involving other people. The hypocrisy of politics is front and center here. Thomas gets treated one way, and other politicians in similar Circumstances get treated completely different. You can see the left-wing playbook clearly, same thing used with kavanagh as with Thomas. Very sad for the Democratic Party to stoop so low. It is always been said when you have nothing else, play the race card. This guy was more accomplished than they ever expected, and a much better judge than they ever wanted him to be. He walks the walk and talks the talk.

    For some reason Amazon drops this movie during Black History Month. I saw it for free on Tubi streaming.

    I never could understand why successful minorities are not celebrated by their own when they have different views.

    An important piece for all to see

    Desperately needed in a time in the history of this country where the Rule of Law is being tested by the liberal media and the liberal left. An important piece. We are ALL created equal. Period.

    Travesty this is so hard to find or see

    Wow, what an inspiring and incredible story. I requested at justicethomasmovie.com for this to come to a theater near me and it arrived for a week. It was still 90 minutes away and just one showing a day at noon, no signage on the theater or even on the theater it was in. But still 25 people or so showed and and boy was it just a wonderful movie to learn about a man that has been unfairly persecuted because of his political beliefs. Everyone should see this to understand his background, how he came to be the person he is, what he really thinks about the constitution and interpretation. This was a movie where every person in the theater just sat until the end of the credits really taking in the emotional ride. I really wish this receive more attention - it sure deserves it.

    The Truth Exists. But we only have perspective.

    I am not a conservative. Nor am I a liberal. What I appreciate about this biographical look at Justice Thomas' life is that I finally get to hear his perspective. His story in his words. That was nice.

    I'm not surprised to hear a lot of partisan approval of this portrayal. But that is not why I enjoyed watching this film. .

    I remember watching the confirmation hearings live. I have subsequently heard a great deal about Anita Hill's perspective, but not Thomas' perspective. I now have a whole new appreciation for the man. Not because I agree with his politics, but because I at least have an appreciation of where he is coming from.

    While it's sad that the court has become so polarized and partisan in recent years, I still have faith in this 3rd, and co-equal, branch of government.

    I now understand how Justice Thomas can have such contempt for "liberals". I can also appreciate why liberals fear him. But until this biography appeared on PBS at 2 am, I didn't have the whole story.

    From my perspective, the Thomas confirmation hearings were the pinnacle of partisan self righteousness. Hill exaggerating the impact Thomas' comments had on her life, and Thomas exaggerated the impact of her allegations. I would have respected Thomas more if he just said "Really, that's all you've got on me?" But he didn't. He played the political hand he was dealt because that is what was expected of him. Shame on both sides.

    It's sad that the justices on the United States Supreme Court have degraded the stature of the court with celebrity personas, but it's not their fault. The public demands it after all. Everything good is eventually corrupted. Including me. Especially me.

    The Truth exists. But we only have perspective.
