Talking Points are out, pivot from Jussie to "homophobic, white supremacist John Wayne"

MSN Link-- although there are fresh articles everywhere about it
This passes as journalism in 2019
Jussie Smollet good, John Wayne bad, therefore all white people bad.
quote:
While he's been dead for nearly 40 years, film star John Wayne's comments from a May 1971 interview with Playboy are making headlines for his pretty racist rhetoric, and it shows that not much has changed in America.
quote:
While many have argued that Wayne's thought-process was par for the course for someone born in 1907, others insist that this type of thinking still persists today. Regardless of the time that's passed, this way of thinking has no place in 2019 America. "Seeing John Wayne complain about seeing gay relationships in movies and accusing diverse roles as 'tokenism' pretty much tells me sh*t hasn't changed one bit," one Twitter user wrote. Tweeted another, "It doesn’t matter if John Wayne has been dead for 40 years, this kind of hate speech has no place in our society."

The smell of prog fear intensifies. It is so intense, I fear for the effect it may have on climate.

Speech from almost a half a century ago taken out of context so they can say “this type of hate speech doesn’t belong in 2019”. What are they thinking

I've literally lived my entire lifetime (so far) since this man's death, and I'VE seen plenty of change in that abbreviated span.

The pertinent question is where is Mr. Wayne wrong. Look where society is now. We have gender confusion, the normalization of sodomy, push for the legalization of drugs. etc. the Duke is lucky he's not here to see the societal decay that's passed off as "being progressive".

It's absolutely killing the media & Hollywood that a gay black man has made such a complete and utter fool out of himself. As being both black and gay, Jussie Smollett was never supposed to be a bad guy. He was never supposed to be a dumbass. Jussie Smollett was always supposed to be the good guy. The hero.
And now that that JS has shown himself to be nothing but a race-baiting little dumbass, how much does the media and Hollywood hate this turn of events? They hate it SO MUCH that they have to dredge up a 50 year-old article and make some white icon the bad guy.
Spin this, SJW's.

The time is now to purge far left liberals from our society.

This. It's really sticking in their collective craw.
Toss that shrimp on the barbie next to Nathan Philips and Gov. Northam and it's been a tough row for the left to hoe

If only we could. The radical Left is a cancer on this country. And obtw, the radical Left is 75% of the Left. If you don't believe that, just look at the Democrat Party candidates lining up for 2020, and what they are saying.

Unverified anonymous twitter users are the "sources" used in this pathetic drivel.
Think about this, a journalist, wrote an article, and quoted random anonymous fricks to back his story.
10 years ago this would have been chastised up and down by both sides.
Why is half of this country so stupid. Why are they so easily swayed, with nonsense claims and pure conjecture?
Doesn't any lefty ever actually question anything?
Or are they all programmed to believe questioning is not allowed?

Lol the headline is literally “John Wayne's Racist Unearthed Interview Shows That Things Haven't Changed”
How can someone even think that makes sense?
That’s like saying MLKjr being assassinated is proof that racism abounds in 2019
It makes no sense
