I apologize for not reading the article, yeah those racist views are messed up. My comment was on society in general, particularly the normalization of deviancy.

reductio ad absurdum

Comments from 1971 are relevant and interesting.

Attributing the comments of a single actor from 1971 to the altitudes and conditions of the time writ large...and, then ignoring that things have changed IMMENSELY (for the better) is fricking lunacy.


I don't have to drink at the "colored" water fountain. To show a picture of that fountain and say "things are the same" should qualify me to be institutionalized.

Not reading the whole thread, but one more note:

Another reason Progs would want to destroy this person is because Wayne is considered an American Alpha Male Icon.

Our enemies abroad and here want us to be soy boys.

The media just hates strong white Male figures because the media is at war with white culture.

Just another clickbait article. And it worked.


No, it isn't just clickbait. This is the AGENDA that these people have. And, the people whom you support and vote for have the same AGENDA.

Perhaps you should think about that.

The fact the article tries to prove racism today from the thoughts of a rugged man from 40 years ago when times were much different, is insanity.

And it ain't like they grabbed a quote from some dude who was 30 in 1971.

Wayne was born in fricking 1907.

These people are goddamned insane.

John Wayne's not dead, he's frozen
And as soon as we find a cure for cancer
We're gonna thaw out the Duke and he's gonna be pretty pissed off...
You know why?
Have you ever taken a cold shower?
Well multiply that by 15 million times
That's how pissed off the Duke's gonna be!

If the Founding Fathers could see the state of the media today, I suspect the 1st Amendment would read very differently

When I think of the relevant news of today, I think of John Wayne quotes from 50 years ago.

With this comment, you've managed to put a bow on just how retarded the "logic" behind this article really is. The man was born like 5 years or so before the Titanic sunk, for crying out loud, and yet these left-wing loons are attempting to use something he said almost 50 years ago, when he was an old man, as a way to deflect (even justify?) the absurd frickery of one Jussie Smollett in 2019.

Obtw, I liked Jussie Smollett a lot better when I had never heard of him. Which was up until 1 month ago. God help us all if they try to make a fake martyr out of him in the same way they've exalted Colin Kaepernick.

Sob they used quotes from a man dead for 4 decades to pivot?
Genghis Khan was a real racist back in the day too. However, he went beyond simple words in expressing his dissatisfaction to those not like him.

Therefore progress has been made!!!

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.
All this after a 2 year investigation into Russian twitterbots influencing an election with only $100k of ads, and Rush Limbaugh alone exposing the twitterbot army about boycotts and stuff to advertisers. (10k twitter bot accounts run by like 5-10 actual people, just automated twitter "likes", retweets, etc. and then rolling back through their 10k accounts over and over to reach the million retweet mark).

Social media IS the news nowadays. There is no actual journalism, just essentially a talking retweeting on air a twitter post or Facebook post. Yep Grandma's everywhere rejoice, your massive Facebook shares of BS Nigerian Prince proportions IS the news.

I noticed these pukes waited until Maureen O'Hara was deceased before dragging the Duke's name through the mud. If she were alive, I would not want to be the guy who sullied his name, she'd destroy him/her/ze

Don’t try to prove them right when they say nothing much has changed.
