Note to Michael, you are white.

Here is the whole quote.

“White people scare the crap out of me... I have never been attacked by a black person, never been evicted by a black person, never had my security deposit ripped off by a black landlord, never had a black landlord... never been pulled over by a black cop, never been sold a lemon by a black car salesman, never seen a black car salesman, never had a black person deny me a bank loan, never had a black person bury my movie, and I've never heard a black person say: We're going to eliminate ten thousand jobs here— have a nice day!”


99% of bad things that has happened to me in my life time (1950-) was by whites. So that must be the scarier group. Mr Moore may be right.....

You dont need to be a mindreader. They tell you as much.

why would you care anyway? all you guys fear free speech and expression when it is something other than your truth. pitiful
I don't know. I guess we shouldn't care when people lie and others blindly follow.
Its not free speech I fear its the lies and the people that believe them.

I never said that he can't express his opinions. I never even said that he can't express his lies, but just because you can lie, should you lie?

Oh well, considering his last film lost quite a bit of money, it appears the market for his b.s. is drying up.

If people blindly follow, yes.
Everyone is entitled to their opinions and an opinion being wrong doesn't make you a liar.
How ever what Moore does IS wrong and should be illegal. He makes movies and threatens to sue if anyone disputes what he says because, according to him, everything he says is the gods honest truth.
Then he not only lies but he lies about his lies and then lies about those lies.

Well if the market for his "b.s." is drying up, what's there to worry about? Why even concern yourself with it?
