Today, I had the pleasure of watching a yet-to-be released movie with two new friends, who shall remain nameless to protect their innocence about hanging out with me . The moviie, “Created Equal,” is about my friend Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas and the love of his life,

Ginni Thomas. We get an inside look at the values poured into Justice Thomas by his grandfather and how he dealt with life’s challenges. What I most admired was how he stood his ground when confronted with mindless efforts to bring him down, and his defense of equality.

Love is a powerful emotion. It transcends all others, except that hate can also be all-consuming. I thank God Almighty that skin color or “race” is no longer the factor that it was when Virginia Lamb and Clarence Thomas we’re born. It was not until 1967 that our country decided

that it was unconstitutional to prohibit interracial marriage. These two people love each other, as anyone can see, and a herd of wild horses could not have prevented their relationship from evolving into a state of matrimony. To those who say that America is a racist nation,

I call your attention to this relationship between a White woman from Omaha, Nebraska and a Black man from Pin Point, Georgia, who serves on the highest court in the land, as evidence of our dedication to the principle that our govt should not be in the race business.
