Review: Slow Burn Steps Inside the House at the Center of Clarence Thomas Controversy
A podcast about a man everyone already has an opinion about.

The iTunes reviews for the latest season of Slow Burn aren't so much reviews of season eight of Slate's blockbuster podcast series as they are reviews of the subject himself, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas. "The truth about Thomas couldn't be presented better. Makes me sick even more when I hear his voice," says one. "Despite what the liberal media say, Clarence Thomas is a great man," says another.
In the opening episode, host Joel Anderson drops by Thomas' mother's house and is unexpectedly admitted for a chat. That house ends up at the center of a corruption scandal that hit just as the podcast dropped, making what would otherwise have been more of a canned backstory more timely and salient.
Everyone who might plausibly listen to a podcast like this one already has a strong opinion about Clarence Thomas. This telling of Thomas' journey from "America's blackest child" to campus radical to conservative darling is far from objective, but those reviews suggest listeners aren't either.

What’s this about a Clarence Thomas controversy? I haven’t heard. Is he gay? Trans? A white supremacist? Two raccoons in a trench coat? Oh, it's Slate? Nevermind. It's a smear campaign by the Democrats.
A typical smear campaign from the Left.
He allegedly commented that he found a pubic hair on his Coke can
[gets handed new talking papers]
Sorry, our previous information was out of date, the current controversy is that he was allegedly boating while black.
It's the ol' make-shit-up-and-then-call-it-a-controversy trick.
Democrats have always hunted black men who flee the plantation.
And KMW is here to support them.
Yeah, what is it about the left HATING conservative blacks? Read the comments of anything posted by Candace Owens Just naked racism with a bit of sexism thrown in.
They've got him this time. The walls are closing in!
Any day now...
This telling of Thomas' journey from "America's blackest child" to campus radical to conservative darling is far from objective, but those reviews suggest listeners aren't either.
"Far from objective"...AKA a leftist hit piece.
Everyone pretend that podcasting isn't boring.
But it’s a blockbuster podcast!!!
Clarence Thomas' sin is that he abandoned what Black people are supposed to believe and feel, according to the Democratic Party and their catamite* media.
*In the ancient Greco Roman world, a catamite was a young boy kept for sexual purposes. IOW, media sucks the dick of the Democrats. For free.
The progressives hate corrupt justices. They hate them so much they want justices to make it easier to kill children in the womb, etc., etc., none of which agenda is in the least corrupt, of course.
