John Wayne will not be hosting the Oscars

Recommended Posts

Some of these people need a hobby.  Or a girlfriend.  Or a boyfriend if that’s what they’re into.

I mean he does seem like kind of an ass based off of those interviews

Well yeah.  But we also need to look at the context.  He was born in 1907 so at the time of the interview he was 65.  I’m not shocked that a 65 year old man would hold racist and assholish views in 1971.  The fact that somebody even brought it up is funny.  We have too much free time.

Where did you find this stuff Mug?

Careful - it's going to give the Tool a woody.  Damn, if it weren't an article from 1971 I'd have thought it was some posts the Tool made here.

I don't twitter as much as you.  Guess I'm not as trendy. :unsure:

Twitter is like the mwcboard but worse and with worse people.

This is the thing with these types of "outrages" - People are the product of the times they lived in, and most adhere close to the mainstream thinking of those era when they lived - Hard to nitpick 2019 expectations on people from the past

Wait until he finds out that some of our first presidents owned slaves.

Yeah I mean I don't know the context here, if someone actively went out and tried to find dirt on an actor whose been dead for 40 years, then that would be kind of odd. 

 

Though if they stumbled across a random Playboy article and decided to share it, I don't really see a problem. Reminding people that we're not that far removed from some pretty +++++ed up views being mainstream does have value.

 

John Wayne being an asshole isn't going to effect my Wednesday afternoon in the slightest

You're right. But I'd be willing to bet that the John Wayne statue at the Orange County airport is going to go down because of this. Finally, something liberals can be outraged about amidst them faking hate crimes, prominent democrats in blackface/KKK costumes and allegations of sexual assault.  :lol:

They'll take the high road digging through what some dead conservative actor born in 1907 said in 1971, but total crickets when it comes to racism coming from their own party in 2019.
