"Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words"-Every American Should See This Movie.

Especially this weekend.

We watched this documentary last night and I simply do not have words adequate enough to describe the experience of seeing what this man went through at the hands of amoral cretins like Joe Biden, Teddy “Lion of the Senate” Kennedy, Patrick Leahy, and the life he rose from to become one of the greatest Justices in the history of the United States Supreme Court. We watched the final credits roll with a sense of quiet astonishment, and a genuine wish that every single American could see this movie and appreciate the incredible story it carried. More about how difficult the corporate media has made it to find it in a moment- one has to really want to see the story to jump through all the hoops necessary to finally see it!

Full Disclosure: My Lady and I do not even claim to be objective when it comes to Justice Thomas as we have had the inestimable privilege of meeting him not once but twice at functions sponsored by the American Inns of Court Foundation, a legal organization with which we were quite active for a number of years. One such occasion was a dinner in the Great Hall of the Court, at which a Justice traditionally was the host or hostess for the occasion, and that night Justice Thomas had the hosting duty. The other was a reception and dinner in Houston at which the Justice was the speaker, and we had the good fortune to be able to meet him personally in the meet-and-greet session after his speech. He chatted, joked, laughed and generally had a raucous good time with every person in the line, for as long as they wished to visit with him. As I stated in another piece I wrote about the Justice a while back, “… the best way to describe that experience is that once you have met him, and heard that boisterous, good-natured laugh of his, you too will almost certainly be affected the way we were.”

This does not purport to be an exhaustive review of the movie; there have been any number of those in the recent past since it came out. I write this primarily to urge those who have not seen it to do whatever you need to do to see what the elite (as Julie Kelly at American Greatness has dubbed them, “our betters with letters”!) is capable of doing to one who does not, as the Justice himself said at that fateful late night hearing, kowtow to his betters and refuses to think like they think he should think since he is a black [or here fill in whatever identity group is being bashed] man.

However, while much of the movie is about the hearings, and those are just as painful to watch now - if not much more so- as they were 30 years ago, a great deal of the movie is about what has to be one of the most inspiring accounts of a rise from destitute poverty and privation in Jim Crow Georgia and South Carolina to a seat on the highest Court in the land. Only one man in a million could have overcome as many “impossible” hurdles to have reached the day President George H.W. Bush nominated him to the Court— and his greatest agony was yet to come on that day. It was, indeed, just as he named it in the final hearing, “a high-tech lynching”— at the hands of some of the most wretched human (?) beings to ever take a breath, including one who is now the occupant of the Presidency and another who is third in line for the Presidency, not to mention Ted “The Swimmer” Kennedy about whom no more need be said.

About the difficulties one encounters in trying to access the movie— it seems that Amazon Prime has, in all its wisdom and compassion for those whose delicate little feelings might be irreparably wounded by the mere mention of the words “Clarence” and “Thomas”, removed all access to the movie, along with You Tube, that other paragon of virtue. I fully admit to being, to put it most euphemistically, more than slightly technologically challenged and that could explain the difficulty I experienced in finding the movie. I finally did find it on Fox Nation after a number of attempts elsewhere.

Please see this movie. Be prepared to be sickened at what the bottom-feeders of the Senate tried to do to this very good man and to also be uplifted at his near-miraculous, a word I use advisedly, story of survival and redemption.

Please see this movie.

And give thanks that our Nation has been blessed with men like Clarence Thomas of Pin Point, Georgia.
