I saw Coleman Domingo in the Color Purple (he was absolutely fantastic) but seemed NOTHING like how he is in real life 😭😭 he’s so gracious and a real treasure ❤
@@robertmaeurerofficialNo he can't and no he won't. He'd be nominated in Supporting for The Color Purple as Mister isn't a lead role AND the Academy doesn't nominate actors for multiple performances in the same category.
As a black gay man myself I'm over the moon when I think about what Colman Domingo did to help represent the civil rights contributions of black gay men as Bayard Rustin, along with former President Barack and Michelle Obama making this extra truth happen. This film is so critical with helping people understand that all lives matter. Colman Domingo is also in a interracial relationship as was Bayard Rustin. Coleman's husband Raúl Domingo is also great in my heart with tears and I honor him also because he really kept Colman Domingo going in fighting the good fight (in Rustin & The Color Purple) as my partner (served in the Navy 10 years) did for me with serving in the Air Force for 26 years (both of us as American veterans)
It's black people creating fake heroes to further their agenda. If he was truly important, you would know his name 😂 They just pushing b.s. like they always do.
I learned about Bayard Rustin years ago and I've been waiting for someone to make a movie about his incredible life. So, to the producers, actors, and everyone involved, thank you!
Wake up!! Donald Trump is going to turn the united States into; " Camp Auschwitz!!" This is all part of resetting the United States! History will repeat itself, Not only this. The LGBTQ+ may see the return of the Pink trangle as well!! Because of the churches that are backing trump!
Yes, I'll agree that she is a magnificent actress but a lousy moderator. She needs to stop being nasty to Sunny, for one thing. Did you not notice how reluctant Sunny was to pay her tribute?
@@LR-mh8hsI don’t think she being nasty to Sunny! I love Sunny! She can stand up for herself which she does! And Sunny and Whoopie hang out outside of work and talk! They’ve mentioned it dozens of times!
Powerful segment, these are the type of segments that make me watch the view just hearing about and learning from incredibly talented individuals like Colman is truly inspiring. Whoopi you are pure grace, class and integrity with all you’ve achieved you never sit there and brag about all you’ve done but continue to inspire those after you to keep believing and dreaming when all odds are stacked against them 🙏🏽.
New information of history does not minimize what we now know. It enhances what we know with deeper layers of knowledge. I am 73 years of age, a true history-loving white woman, and I LOVE to learn of new facets of history. It makes my life just that much richer.
As a Hispanic I’ve always related more to my African American brothers and sisters and also being gay is on really didn’t see any representation. Thanks to this wonderful man
My local ABC station WLPG from Miami, Fl did not show “The View” today. So I came to RU-vid to find it. I am so glad I did. Today’s show was so full of love and inspiration by those who have more grace than I could ever have. It gives me hope that one day we can all become better humans and learn to forgive. And I can’t wait to see the movie “Ruskin”.
@@LR-mh8hs They just wanted to broadcast their own two hour MLK special. Now I do question their time slot decision. Anytime their is a car chase in Miami for example, they break away from “The View” referring to it as breaking news. A car chase in Miami is something that happens almost everyday, far from breaking news. And they do it too often for many irrelevant “breaking news” segments when “The View” is on air.
Wake up!! Donald Trump is going to turn the united States into; " Camp Auschwitz!!" This is all part of resetting the United States! History will repeat itself, Not only this. The LGBTQ+ may see the return of the Pink trangle as well!! Because of the churches that are backing trump!
I can not say enough great things about this movie. I have watched it twice. Coleman blows my mind how good he is. I watch clips of Rustin. He picked up his speech. His manor of movement. His style of being. I knew this story because i have looked into LGBT history that is also overlooked. Also diving deep in to black history. It helps that i live in Jacksonville florida. A. Phillip Randolph went to high school here. The creater of Lift every voice and sing James Weldon Johnson and his brother grew up in Jacksonville. Ray Charles got his musical start here and grew up not far from Jacksonville. It is important to know history. If whoopie wants to produce another great story. Do one on Harry Hayes.
I always knew Bayard Rustin participated in the civil rights movement with MLK but I found out he was gay about a year ago when there was talk about making a movie about his life.
His performance was truly inspiring and your talent as an actor is unmatched. Thank you for gracing us with such a brilliant performance. I wish you a life full of success and happiness.
STRONG BEAUTIFUL AMAZING HANDSOME OUT AND PROUD BLACK MAN RIGHT HERE YOU ARE A ABSOLUTE LEGEND YOU HAVE ALL MY RESPECT 🥰💝🥰💝🥰💝💗💓💗💓💗💞💕💞💕💞💕💞🤴🏿💪🏿😍😍😍😍😍😍🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿
Many gay people have given amazing contributions to the world to make it a better place, and have been completely removed from history. Expunged almost completely. Happy to see this story told. Until we’re all free…
I never knew this person existed I'm black gay man and have always felt like the black community hates us I didn't know how important we black gay people are to our community until I saw this. Maybe one day they'll stop hating us
You're are so right about the black community blatant hated towards our LGBTQ+ brothers and sisters. To add to that, misogyny is also a big problem. I am 52 years old black teacher, and I do my utmost best to be as inclusive as possible to all students as long I have breath in this body.
@@kallen868 The Most High didn’t make anyone gay and no is born. Satan has you deceived. You’re living an abominable lifestyle and you think God loves you. He doesn’t .
Woooow this man is the future ..its amazing to see such pure black talent so raw,he is one of those actors like Sydney Potier no kidding and thank you Coleman for giving Whoopi her flowers ❤❤❤
I ADORE COLMAN DOMINGO I LOVED RUSTIN . I LEARNED MORE ABOUT MY PEOPLE. THANK YOU MR. AND MRS. OBAMA AND THANK YOU MR. DOMINGO . ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
When someone is an oustanding actor, producer and director, is it a diss or a compliment to call someone a journeyman actor. Not the intent bevauee there is no doubt the intent is warm, but the definition of journeyman actor
