Amazon has shown its true colors, once again, when it comes to celebrating and appreciating diversity: if your ideals don’t align with the team-left narrative, you will not be celebrated.
In the midst of Black History Month, Amazon pulled a critically acclaimed and popular documentary on conservative Justice Clarence Thomas, the only black justice currently serving on the Supreme Court, from its streaming platform.
The documentary, “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words,” is “currently unavailable to watch in your location,” the website reads when the title is clicked.
The outage appears to be nationwide, as reported by Breitbart.
Amazon appeared to drop the PBS documentary, while still promoting a wide range of films including “All In: The Fight for Democracy” with Stacey Abrams and two movies on widely discredited activist Anita Hill.
The platform created an entire Amplify Black Voices page that “feature[s] a curated collection of titles to honor Black History Month across four weekly themes (Black Love, Black Joy, Black History Makers, and Black Girl Magic).”
While all included films come free to stream with a Prime membership, the Thomas documentary, released in January of last year, is now only available to purchase on a DVD, The Federalist reports.
Amazon’s effort to celebrate black voices during Black History month is a failed attempt if it doesn’t include Justice Thomas. Whether you agree with his political views or not, his story is one that everyone should know.
Born in 1948 into deep poverty in Georgia, to mostly uneducated parents, Thomas broke away from the segregated, catholic school education system he was raised in, in hopes of something better.
“The more I read about the black power movement, the more I wanted to be a part of it,” he said in his memoir My Grandfather’s Son. “What was the point of working within the system? Segregation, lynchings, black codes, slavery surely the time for politeness and nonviolent protest was over.”
Thomas embraced the view that all men are created equal. In his nearly 30 years on the Supreme Court, Thomas has developed the most consistent originalist jurisprudence of any justice to ever serve on the court, Breitbart reports.
Thomas is the second and longest-serving black Supreme Court justice in history, undeniably historic and something to be celebrated. His documentary should be appreciated during every month of the year, but especially during Black History Month to celebrate his life journey and paramount success.

It should come as no surprise that liberal organizations would bypass the significance of people like Justice Thomas, he doesn’t fit the narrative assigned to him by the leftist arbitors! He isn’t alone in this, the Reverend Doctor Martin Luther King Jr. is no longer at the forefront of Black Civil Rights even on his own day. Perhaps it was his talk of nonviolence, emphasis on character, or he was a Republican? That documentary is excellent but the people who really need to see it will be denied that opportunity!
Know the truth and the truth shall set you free,,,Hide the truth and you will remain their slaves. MLK sought the truth, these new media clowns fear it.
Lots of media Pirhanna alive and swiminng in this Amazon River of no return.
Of course, if you are conservative, it matters NOT if you are black, you are blacklisted..
So why would the Woke Left even consider an “Uncle Tom” like Justice Thomas who does not fit their racist narrative’s hero mold, unlike their George Floyd, Trayvon, or Michael Brown, etc.
After all, Justice Thomas 1) made something truly admirable of himself, and 2) makes the other few so-called Strict Constructionists on the SCOTUS look like sell-outs to the libtard Left (and maybe they are).
Clarence Thomas is a hero of mine. I have seen Judge Thomas speak on C- Span, on American History and how important our History is, to our Country. Judge Thomas is a strict Constitutionalist and he is not a sellout, like many of the so called SCOTUS Justices. Amazon is in the hip pocket of the politicians in Washington and their business has gone way up, as the politicians have destroyed small businesses, using COVID as an excuse to destroy the small businesses. Big Tech are all traitors to our Country, they are in bed with China and Big Tech is in bed with the Washington DC politicians.
Which is why if an asteroid leveled all big tech HQ’s, and rendered them all into smoking craters, i wouldn’t shed a single bloody tear.
