‘Suburbicon’ Star Matt Damon: ‘There Needs to Be A Reckoning’ For Racism
Newsbusters ^ | October 23, 2017 | Corinne Weaver

Posted on 10/24/2017 5:59:04 AM PDT by kevcol

“We’ve never really reckoned with the issue of race in this country. We just haven’t. It’s almost like the Civil War ended and kind of like the child in a divorce. Like, you know, a conflict-averse child. ‘Okay, okay, it’s over, let’s not talk about that ever again.’ And that’s obviously not what needed to happen.”

What did need to happen? Apparently something of biblical proportions. “There needs to be a reckoning, a true one. And that’s how we’ll make progress, and move forward.”

Martin Luther King Day is a federal holiday held on the third Monday of January. It celebrates the life and achievements of Martin Luther King Jr., an influential American civil rights leader.

.....Damon what a tool. We have never discussed race properly since the civil war.....what a retard.

Does there also need to be a reckoning for people who cover for sex offenders?

Matt, sweetie, the people who talk about racism do not want to ever, ever, EVER move forward. They want reparations from everyone, forever, and they want to be in utter control of the entire country, forever, and they will never, ever, ever let it go no matter if we put them all in palaces and worship them like gods. The NFL is a good example, in fact. They have millions for playing a game, they gripe about it and call it slavery... there’s no point.

I’m confused about his new movie (Suburbicon). I swear I read it was about a black family moving into a suburban neighborhood but all the previews show only white actors. I did not see even one black actor or actress.

Why are they so ashamed of he black actors that they are hiding them in the previews???? That smacks of racism!

Martin Luther King Day is a federal holiday signed into law by Ronald Reagan, a CONSERVATIVE, the kind that Matt Dumbass hates.

How could something important happen if Matt Damon wasn't there? That's impossible. What a colossal douchebag.

Yes Matt, let’s change the subject.

I thought he was smarter than that. Did he actually think that us peons out here wouldn’t catch on to what he’s trying to do??? I must say I laughed when I saw this.....it is so pathetic that it’s funny. That’s the “stars” mindset nowadays. Moron!
