WOW: Trump Inspires George Clooney to Donate Half a Million Against Racism

Mega-rich Hollywood liberal George Clooney is putting up some real dollars to bolster the fight for racial justice and for the sake of boosting his ego by making President Trump look bad.

The Burn After Reading and Oceans 11 star heard one more line from Trump’s Twitter and realized he couldn’t take the quipping anymore. Over the weekend, Clooney ponied up a massive donation to social justice initiatives in response to a Trump tweet about an anti-slavery holiday that unfortunately, many people aren’t familiar with.

It all started when Trump announced the date for his first re-election campaign rally in Tulsa, OK on June 19. A leftwing conspiracy went around Twitter claiming that Trump planned on having his rally on this date as a dog whistle for racists. Normally you would be excused for asking what that dog whistle was, but c’mon everyone knows what’s so special about June 19, right? No?

You’re all a bunch of racists.

(off topic) Believe it or not, Clooney does a great job in the Hulu series “Catch-22”. Which is now available on Amazon and is highly recommended by me.

So, George is going to find a way to stop anonymous attacks on little, old white ladies? Oh, wait, not that kind of racism.

Has anybody investigated the RACISM within “the Equal Justice Initiative”?

Virtue signaling. Most of that money is going to end up going to golden grill work "fo de teef", designer handbags, bling of every stripe, and of course drugs and booze.

The most positive thing that could be done is mentoring black start-ups. And educating people that many businesses fail, and racism has nothing to do with it. People don't burn down businesses when they have a stake in the system.

Multimillionnaire entertainment industry nitwit donates a pittance to some organization which will never accomplish its stated goal? Impressive .

Search in the New York Times for the word “Juneteenth”. Not a single mention in June 2019.

Trump single-handedly catapulted this fine holiday onto the front page of the New York Times.

He should invite Clooney to the White House to thank him for his support.

How exactly does a half million dollars help stop racism, where does the money go? Pertinent questions I believe.

I’ve known about it for some time. We had a co-worker that constantly fueled his disagreeable self reading and sharing all the atrocities we had committed.

George has a big wall around his house. And half a mil is pocket change to him which makes it an insulting pittance pity payment. Old Horseface just loves to virtue signal.

Maybe he can donate a bundle to the new ‘Black Lives Matter Political Party’... that would REALLY stick it to traditional Americans...

Go for it George Clooney - prove you’re NOT just an old airhead...
