Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words (2020)
A Surprising Life's Story
This is an astoundingly interesting film. It charts Thomas' life from abject poverty through life-changing help through disillusionment with the Catholic church to Black Marxism, Yale, hiring discrimination and into politics. And there it gets really strange, because the only job he can find is with a Republican and he hated Republicans.
It is required watching for everyone, even if you disagree with his current positions, so that you can at least understand your enemy. And it's kind of inspiring, chronicling how an African-American overcame the difficulties that (sadly) come with that.
And I now understand his position, completely. I understand that he has few questions because doesn't feel compelled to interrupt the presentations. Instead, he studies the briefs carefully, engages in the SC debate and writes decisions and dissents. It turns out he is the most prolific in writing up the arguments and conclusions.
