I have always liked Danny Glover's work. Really.

I might be more sensitive to his and others' views if they would cease utilizing outrageous hyperbole.

Then someone should point the "kid" in the direction of Morgan Freeman and George Foreman. Taking shots on public stage of the President is only showing they have no idea President Trump stood with Rosa Parks and Ali and was given an Ellis Island award. Spouting BS like they all did, is only showing their lack of identifying with the country, most oppressed places are ran by Progressives..... seems those in Hollywood never visit, those places. Where are any of the Hollywood elite blacks making a difference in the inner cities?


I'm a little amazed at the celebrities who don't realize many blacks voted for President Trump, like it or not. At least the old white man called our President walks the walk, can any of these claim the same, including Mr. Obama and company.

Amazing when any rich man can stand up and claim they're mistreated.......most of the time it is by their own damn peers, yet they'll lash out at those who pay their salary.


I wonder if the guy has thought about reaching out to the oppressed and ask why are they shooting each other daily in Chicago. Watching a documentary it was 5 black guys held up in an apartment doing drugs all day, also, selling drugs and stolen guns to those who came and went. When asked why they didn't seek a better life, the answer, no job paid them to get high all day and make the kind of money they do in 1 day. There is no need to stop the oppression......obviously, there isn't any!


Takes being educated to learn one has been oppressed by the very people who never go to their neighborhood.....yet, they vote for them.

For those who are conservative/right winger beliefs that are unaware and taking his context completely serious, Donald Glover is/was a comedian then he became an actor also a musician.

I'm a classical liberal but don't suffer bullsh|t narratives well.

I asked earlier and I'll ask you:
Quote:
Is it implied that he's just an entertainer using hyperbole and we should outright ignore the literal part of the quip? Is it implied that we should understand he doesn't know what he's talking about and is just making a non-sensical fantasy comment?
Now, if it could be shown he was being, I don't know, *ironic* or facetious, and poking fun at social justice regressives who *actually* think like that, right in the middle of the nexus of deranged leftist virtue signaling, then that would be pretty awesome. But as it is it just looks like a false narrative wrapped up in a sad, safe, cynical "joke."

Can't tell if you're serious or not.
