‘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.”

Dearest Matt, Clean up your own personal cesspool before donning your moral mantle and lecturing people who are far better than you are.

GADS! Guy didn’t stand a chance - born in MA, mother an Early Childhood Education professor, mother divorced, moved into communal living. His mother no doubt was one of those “more intelligent than everyone else” protesting in the streets in the sixties. His thinking was warped long ago. Never could see this guy as an actor especially putting him in the rugged Jason Bourne roles...Loved the original book but couldn’t stand more than a few minutes of the first movie. He just didn’t fit!

“”His parents divorced when he was two years old, and Damon and his brother returned with their mother to Cambridge,[7][11] where they lived in a six-family communal house””

The definition of racism that I was taught was:

“prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one’s own race is superior”

The new definition of racism is:

“Any time a white person argues against liberalism.”

As long as you can redefine a term to mean anything, there’s never going to be a meaningful dialog on it.

I've never really thought much of this guy.

His acting is forced and his expressions of various emotions simply do not ring true.

It's as though he has a sign hanging around his neck, designating him as "Actor in training".

And like most Hollyweird asses, he makes rocks look smart...and a bag of hammers puts him to shame in a spelling contest.

I don't give a damn what his education is...if one cannot apply what one received in formal education, one is still a dumb ass.

He's a dumb ass.

His portrayal of various characters in military situation embarrasses me.

I wish he'd just shut up and go away.

But, that's how I feel about most of the so-called "celebrities".

I do not now, nor will I ever "celebrate" them for squat.

I think it’s funny that Hollyweird has been exposed as being a bunch of phonies and hypocrites and they still lecture us on morality.

Total lack of self-awareness. They look like idiots.

What a clueless child.

My great-gradfather did a reckoning when he fought in the Civil War.

What was that civil rights thing I lived through in the 60s?

What as the Jim Crow thing that the Democrats in the south created and had to have Brown versus the Topeka State Board to solve. (I helped close the final chapter in 96).

We were cruising along with progress on many fronts when we came to Obama. He worked hard to undo any gains for the last 30 years. Race-Baiters got to haves their “Bait.”

Shut up, you hypocritical piece of crap with a pretty face! And don’t try to imply that anyone else is racist!
Do your acting. You’re good at it. Other than that, shut up.

They don’t REALLY want you to know what the movie is about until you’ve spent your money for a seat.

Then they figure if you walk out without asking for a refund, they’ve won and the flick will be cast as a success.

The majority of white Americans today are descended from folks who came over AFTER the Civil War.

We totally ¡%[|%[°| up in 1853 when Lincoln recklessly released a population of 10,000,000 freed slaves into a total population of about 40,000,000 entrepreneurial, adventurous, freedom loving, patriotic American citizens and just expected them to take to America as a duck to water. How was that supposed to work??

Hey Matt, which homosexual Hollywood mogul did YOU have to service to advance your career?

1. Ever heard of the 13th, 14th & 15th amendments? CONSTITUTIONAL changes enacted by REPUBLICANS.

2. Ever heard of Ku Klux Klan? Democrat Party adjunct organization, welcomed as heroes as late as the 1920s. Then, the blatant nature of the racism became boorish. So...

3. Enter the Eugenics Movement and its heroine Margaret Sanger. The founder of Planned Parenthood was racist but softened her bigotry a bit by claiming aborting black babies was humane. But wait, the Democrat were not done yet...

4. FDR, RFK and LBJ expanded the WELFARE state and spied on black civil rights activists (who were striving against Democrat governors and local officials in the south). these actions had the effect of attempting to replace FAMILIES with GOVERNMENT and endangering the effort to get equal access for all citizens. One credible account has LBJ even privately saying his goal was to have “n*****s voting Democrat for the next 100 years.”

All Democrats, Matt.

I am SICK of Republicans being called racist. You Hollyweird folk need to get an education.

Matt can start by foregoing his white privilege first and turn over all royalties, money and property he earned and owns to BLM.

Til then he can STFU.
