And then Liberalism opened it's hungry mouth and ate all the Liberals who thought their good intentions insulated them from the insatiable beast...

I think a big takeaway here is that social justice activists believe that white people are not allowed to speak because they are white. This is then explained as a non-racist attitude because only white people can be racist by definition.

This pretty much defines social justice as an anti-intellectual enterprise. While radical left wing liberals may promote their supposed intellectual superiority, I think they have no problem with the fact that this silencing of a particular voice goes against the very nature of their agenda: to create a world of equality and freedom. They seem to be successfully building their own power structure built on intersubjectivity - I think their heroes Foucault, Freire, and Gramsci are actually turning in their graves.

I think it is akin to not having all your eggs in one basket. The more diversified you are, less likely you are to be offending some race. Alternatively, more diversity means there is a greater chance you're supporting the flavor of the month as it applies to race or sexual orientation.

It couldn't have happened to a more self-righteous prick than Damon. He was embarrassing on the Bill Maher show, and it has now come full circle.

ETA: Now that I think about it, it may have been Affleck on Bill Maher. Either way, Damon deserves it.

Yes, it brings the man down everyday, just a little bit more, and in legal fashion.

It´s open season on lower, middle and upper middle class male heterosexual whites, and they are being forcibly extracted from US society under the guise of equality.

Perhaps Damon should rethink his views as well as the company he keeps given how this group ate one of their own.

I meant grossing films but I'm sure the list is similar.

Samuel L, Morgan Freeman, Will Smith, Eddie Murphy, Denzel are all wayy wayy wayy up that list. Don Cheadle does well too.
