Actress and activist Jane Fonda is addressing white privilege in the wake of George Floyd's death and the ensuing protests.

She should share her Beverly Hills mansion with some homeless people of color. She has much more room than she needs.

What she says is always nonsensical.

These people are unhinged lunatics. Actually poor whites get discriminated against due to affirmation action and “diversity.”

Gee, I must have missed out on that! I was raised in Mississippi as poor as poor can possibly be. I literally was raised in cotton and corn fields! I want my share of white privilege! Somebody stole it!...................

Success is a function of intelligence privilege, get-of-your-duff privilege and emotional-maturity privilege.

Right-I think about my white privilege every time my bas&^rd of a boss openly kicks s*&t in my face, JUST because he can! There's not a single minority in our organization who'd stand for that for ONE SINGLE INSTANT. His rotten a*& would get dragged into court so fast it would make his head spin.

Hanoi Jane took HER white privilege to Viet Nam and kicked sh#@t in America's face! We're supposed to forget that, I guess!

Watch the film Winters Bone to get an idea of white poverty in southern Missouri. It’s real.

Drug addiction and alcoholism has destroyed many communities, both black and white.

Jane Fonda says she prays that some day we will be Communist. But I don’t know to whom she prays, since Communists are atheists.

This stupid old Commie slut hasn’t got the historical perspective or political intelligence God gave a curb stone.

She has no clue that at least two generations of Americans have no idea who she is. And there are two generations, one in particular who know damn who and what she is and won’t ever forget it.

As a USMC Veteran, and as an invited guest by my government to attend the war in Vietnam, I am hoping that Hanoi Jane would die very painfully and very large amount of pain. One concern of mine is that the line to piss on her grave will be so long and the ground above her casket will be a swamp of urine and excrement, that I might die before it is my turn to take a leak there.
