KD in CA Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 Translation: PC rules demanded by Inflexible left wingers need only apply to other people but not to enlightened 'progressives' like me. Nothing new to see here folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC Tom Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 White New England liberals know more about racism than blacks. Of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 "Whitesplaining"? We think there's something inherently racist in what you're saying, so we're going to coin a race-based term to describe it? That sums up my opinion of the hypersensitive race-baiters to a tee.

Nanker Posted September 16, 2015 Share Posted September 16, 2015 And how is he relevant anymore? Doesn't he know he's too old to play the lead in the Hollywood blockbuster, "The Tom* Brady* Story"? That's a role tailor made for Justin Timberlake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) Hey... There's a "Man Crush" thread on OTW. Mods can you merge please... Seems like the posters above would like that. LoL Edited September 17, 2015 by ExiledInIllinois Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I'm waiting to watch the episode before I comment, but here's the apology: "I believe deeply that there need to be more diverse filmmakers making movies. I love making movies. It’s what I have chosen to do with my life and I want every young person watching ‘Project Greenlight’ to believe that filmmaking is a viable form of creative expression for them too. My comments were part of a much broader conversation about diversity in Hollywood and the fundamental nature of ‘Project Greenlight’ which did not make the show. I am sorry that they offended some people, but, at the very least, I am happy that they started a conversation about diversity in Hollywood. That is an ongoing conversation that we all should be having.” http://variety.com/2015/film/news/matt-damon-project-greenlight-diversity-apology-1201595189/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KD in CA Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 This idiocy was nicely lampooned in last night's South Park (which also included a Tom Brady tie-in). Amazing how today's young left-wingers have become such mindless robots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kevbeau Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 I like that there's a petition demanding he apologize. Setting the world right, one click at a time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azalin Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) This idiocy was nicely lampooned in last night's South Park (which also included a Tom Brady tie-in). The scene with the pregnant Mexican women, orphans, taco launchers, and Jared almost killed me. Edited September 17, 2015 by Azalin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted September 17, 2015 Share Posted September 17, 2015 An online petition to make him Damon apologize? I can't wait until you SoProgs have to go back to work so you'll stop trying to make people do things simply because you have too much free time on your hands.

unbillievable Posted September 18, 2015 Share Posted September 18, 2015 Damon is simply saying that when hiring people behind the scenes, it's important to focus on getting the right person for the job. When hiring on screen, you need to prioritize race instead of merit to push the propaganda. A rare moment of truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kanye 4 President 2020 Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 Good Will Damon needs to make amends by donating to my super PAC. #Yeezy2020 http://www.yeezus2020.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
