Virtue Signal of the Week: Molly Ringwald Says 80s Hughes Films are 'Really, Really, Very White'

Ah, virtue signalers. Aren't they cute? They don't think the rest of us can't see past their BS, but it's just so damn obvious when you take the circumstances in which they convey their "tolerance" into account.

Take actress Molly Ringwald, for example.

She recently did an interview with Variety's Clayton Davis - a black man (keep that in mind) - while receiving their Creative Vanguard Award at the Miami Film Festival this past Saturday, and the "Sixteen Candles" star made a very...um, racist observation about her 1980s John Hughes film that gave her stardom.

As reported by Breitbart, Ringwald said the following:

“Those movies, the movies that I am so well known for, they were very much of the time. And if you were to remake that now I think it would have to be much more diverse. And it would have to be, you know, you couldn’t make a movie that white. Those movies are really, really, very white,” Ringwald said.

Gee Molly has been, why aren't you complaining to Spike Lee for not casting you in his movies.

What an ungrateful spinster, John Hughes made her career.

[ClearCase_guy]

Now discuss Spike Lee.

[Stosh]

I’ll bet she had just loads of black friends when she was high school age. /s

[Gay State Conservative]

I must say tat I'm a bit ashamed to admit this but I loved Sixteen Candles...for several reasons.One of them being Molly Ringwald. I also loved Long Duc Dong!

“Automobile?...lake,big lake!”

[crusty old prospector]

They were all honkies at The Breakfast Club.

[Leaning Right]

There’s an easy fix here. Molly Ringwald should return every dime she made from those films. With interest, of course. I’m sure she would feel better about herself after doing so.

On a more serious note, this is yet another example of why there will always be much racial tension in this country. Just when the scab starts to form, some silly liberal comes along and opens the wound again.

Molly Ringwald Says She Should Have Kept Working With John Hughes

[Blue Turtle]

Loved the Breakfast Club. Very talented cast and director. White peoples make the best movies. Proud of my heritage.

[Wilderness Conservative]

Closet mud shark.

[moovova]

Does she realize her movies were fiction?

[lee martell]

I’m sure she’s crying all the way to the bank, wiping away those “guilty” white tears!

[Poser]

She was cute back than. She hasn’t aged well.

[Carriage Hill]

Who?
Molly Ring-a-ling-a-ding?

[xp38]

She’s just as white as her movies so shouldn’t she be ashamed she even exists? As always liberalism is a mental disease.

“Those movies, the movies that I am so well known for, they were very much of the time. And if you were to remake that now I think it would have to be much more diverse. And it would have to be, you know, you couldn’t make a movie that white. Those movies are really, really, very white,” Ringwald said.

C'mon Molly! Sixteen Candles featured Long Duck Dong...

No more yankie my wankie, The Donger need food!

[Rurudyne]

Liberalmental ... in fact.

[kearnyirish2]

Eddie Murphy said he was forced to include a white actor in “Coming to America” in 1988; Louie Anderson got the token white part (and Murphy himself played whites in “whiteface”.

Even then, race relations were better than today.

[Rummyfan]

Gee Molly has been, why aren't you complaining to Spike Lee for not casting you in his movies.

Yes! Where are the whites in School Daze and Malcom X?

[Getready]

Got a free channel locally. All “black” sitcoms.Plenty of “black” movies now. She is talking about an era roughly 40 years ago.Cannot say that the “black” movies or sitcoms are any better than “white” movies or sitcoms. Most of the movies or sitcoms featuring either skin color and life experience are pretty bad anyway.
