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 ❤

It makes to cry of joy to see Whoopi getting her flowers over and over again , and yet not enough. She is so important to our history.

Why am I crying, absolutely loved this segment! The hug between Whoopi & Colman 🥰🥰🥰

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)

I felt the genuine respect and admiration he demonstrated for Whoopi. He is a brilliant light on this Earth:)

Folks forget Whoopi is a whole movie star legend icon in these street! Give that woman a standing ovation everyday !👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I have never heard about Rustin until today and I have lived in United States for over thirty years. Thanks for letting me know about this man.

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!

We have a gay community center in St. Louis named Rustin’s Place.

Coleman is an incredible actor. He reminds me of Sidney P. He has a long career ahead of him.

Colman is such a lovely man. He deserves all his success. ❤

Colman is such a brilliant actor.

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 🙏🏽.

"On the day I was born black, I was also born a homosexual." WHEW! I need this on a shirt!!!

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.

My local ABC station WLPG from Miami, Fl did not show “The View” today. So I came to KZfaq 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”.

Wonderful, soulful man. I'm inspired by his words.

I did not know Colman Domingo was gay I love him EVEN MORE NOW ❤

Fantastic segment!!!

Whoopie looks amazing! Love the hair and makeup ❤

Watched that movie already. It was great 👏

I have major respect for Colman Domingo. He doesn’t sugarcoat but he’s also very respectful towards others. He deserves the world.

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

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 can't get enough of him, such an brilliant actor and amazing human being.

I love him so much. Incredible actor

I Love when they do the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Episode's every January 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

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.

Way to go Colman Domingo and Gay Civil Rights Leader Bayard Rustin 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

I see great things for this man in the future.

He's such a class act.

Phenomenal performance! Thank you for introducing Rustin 👏🏻

This is a handsome man! Colman Domingo has beautiful eyes and a warm voice. I had never heard of him until "Rustin" showed. He is on the radar.

Nice segment

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.

This segment educated me about Rustin and all the hard work he put in for civil rights. The movie is excellent. ❤️

Fantastic episode!!

Beautiful interview

I saw this film. He was amazing!

Excellent performance and can see a truly intelligent, talented , passionate person in life as well as on screen.

Colman Domingo's voice is everything.

Whoopi was the soul of the Color Purple. 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾 love her so much.

the Whoopi appreciation was really powerful, she deserves it

Coleman was absolutely amazing in "Rustin." I have never heard of Byran Rustin until I watched the movie. Just AMAZING! ❤

Colman awesome actor looking forward to seeing more of him

''What wasn't mine was mine' powerful.

Never knew about Rustin until this movie😕

STRONG BEAUTIFUL AMAZING HANDSOME OUT AND PROUD BLACK MAN RIGHT HERE YOU ARE A ABSOLUTE LEGEND YOU HAVE ALL MY RESPECT 🥰💝🥰💝🥰💝💗💓💗💓💗💞💕💞💕💞💕💞🤴🏿💪🏿😍😍😍😍😍😍🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙌🏿🙏🏿

I Loved this segment 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

That hair style makes Whoopi looks 10 years younger and I too never heard of Mr. Rustin will read up on him now

When he stepped out DAYUM

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…

So happy for Colman Domingo to get these accolades. He was AMAZING in my very favorite episode of "Lucifer". Such a talented artist. Bravo!

Black Excellence 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

Always great to see Colman ❤️👏👏

Go Colman! I get chills, everytime he's on screen. He will make a great Kang!

I agree, and thank you to all of those who helped get this story told!

Aww I 💗 Colman Domingo! Philly is in the building 🙌🏾

Whoopi is so humble! She is one of the greatest to ever do it! ❤❤❤

I am in love with him.. I love his acting skills😊😊😊

0:30 I didn't understand a single word. STOP WHISPERING!!! It's not an effective device in movies. (or TV or radio)

“The most courageous decision that you can make each day is to be in a good mood.” - Voltaire

If anyone from CLICK UP, who interrupted this video with an ad, sees this, know that I will NEVER BUY ANY PRODUCT OF YOURS.

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

Wonderful interview. Wonderful actor and Whoopi looks good

An extraordinary performance from an extraordinary man about an extraordinary man! 🖤

If you watch PBS regularly, you already know who Bayard Rustin was.

I can’t wait to watch this movie! This is what Representation looks like!

Wow, honestly the first time I ever saw Whoopi get a great standing ovation for her work on The Color Purple.

Yes that Philly Comment hits home! Philly born!

Love this. Black History Matters. LGBT History Matters.

Whoopie was given my flowers when I first saw her on the screen, she is the true journey woman ... Rustin was superbly played by Colman

Great Discussion 👍🏽

Lol Sunny's the only one not clapping for Whoopi...

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 never oh him, glad they’re creating this film to teach about him ❤

Either we’re fighting for everyone’s rights or not. Point blank period

Every time I see Colman Domingo all I can hear is Robin Thede calling him COLMAN DOMINGO!!!

I'm a new Netflix subscriber because of this movie!

I had never heard of Rustin until I watched the movie what a great movie and part of American history

WHOOPI IS A ICON WE LOVE 😍 YOU!!!!!!! 😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Colman is my favorite person❤

Colman Domingo Is The Best.

I love this man, he's such a great actor.

He kills on Fear the Walking Dead too!

He is just exquisite in every way. 😍

Happy Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day

On a side note: he is goooood looking 😍😍😍

I just love this man so much!

This was a good movie. I didn’t know about him until I watched the movie.

A must see!!!💜

We need to pay pay a lot more attention to who people hate not to who people love!

That’s what’s lacking right now, passionate leaders like in that era ugh frustrating

So glad Whoopi is getting her flowers

Hope this movie is released on dvd, better Blu-ray.

Love him!!

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

This man is so gorgeous😍

Coleman is an amazing man. 👍
