    Amazon appeared to drop the PBS title, “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words,” while still promoting a wide array of feature films under the category of Black History Month such as “All In: The Fight For Democracy,” with Stacey Abrams and two movies on Anita Hill, Thomas’ accuser of sexual misconduct who attempted to derail his confirmation. All come free to stream with a Prime membership.

    The Thomas documentary released in January last year remains available to purchase on DVD. A simple search for “Created Equal: Clarence Thomas in His Own Words,” comes up short for the title however. To find it, users must include “DVD” in the search box, and the documentary will come up as the 10th result. A search for “RBG” on the other hand, will bring three documentaries on Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s documentary to the top after promoting a sponsored post of her biography, “Notorious RBG: The Life and Times of Ruth Bader Ginsburg.”

    Amazon did not immediately respond to The Federalist’s request for comment.

    I wonder if they'll keep Fahrenheit 451, which is, obviously, an instruction manual for Amazon.

    The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

      Streisand effect, here we come.

      Only non-witches get due process.

        @jon-nyc said in Black documentaries don't matter at Amazon:

        When Harry became Sally is generating a fair amount of chatter as well.
