A new documentary about the life of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas highlights the latent racism in the Senate confirmation hearings led by then-Senator Joe Biden (D-Del.). In the film, set for release on Friday, Thomas recounts the horrifying accusations leveled by Anita Hill and Biden's twisting of Natural Law in an attempt to trip him up on abortion.
In the documentary, provided in an early screening to PJ Media, Thomas exposes the racism of political expectations.
"You have to believe in affirmative action because we think you ought to believe in affirmative action. How is that different from slavery? How is that different from segregation?" the justice says. "You can't think those thoughts!" While he is a black man, his race was seen as illegitimate because he did not fit the stereotype of what a black man should think.
"I had been looking at the wrong people as the people who would be problematic toward me," he explains. "We were told that, oh it's going to be the bigot in the pick-up truck, it's going to be the Klansman, it's going to be the rural sheriff. And I'm not saying that there weren't some of those who were bad, but it turned out that through all of that, ultimately the biggest impediment was the modern-day liberal."

I want te see that.
I’ll never forget Gropin’ Joe questioning his ‘judg-e-ment’. He’s still the very same dipstick.
I say THIS will be a BOX OFFICE RECORD... Can’t WAIT.. How we all sat glued to our TV’s watching Anita Hill and her pubic hair on a Coca Cola can.
I remember it very well too. You are way too kind to Quid-pro-Joe BTW.
Waiting until they deal with the gynocracy the same way.
It has not showed up on my streaming service provider (Popcorn Time). Where is it?
Have not been to Redbox in a minute.
Joe wasn’t that bad. It was Ted’s silence that got me.
