Actor-director George Clooney claimed that the far-left organization Black Lives Matter supports racial equality and appeared to downplay the group’s numerous instances of racism and violent anti-police rhetoric in an interview published Wednesday.
In a wide-ranging interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the two-time Oscar-winner said Republican lawmakers failed to stand up to President Trump after he condemned the neo-Nazis and violent Antifa activists who clashed during deadly protests in Charlottesville, Virginia.
“It would be best for the country if some of these Republicans — and some of them I’m very good friends with, actually — stood up [to him],” Clooney said before drawing a moral difference between the Ku Klux Klan and Black Lives Matter.
“There’s an important distinction that doesn’t get said enough — the difference between Black Lives Matter and the KKK and the skinheads and the alt-right is this: Black Lives Matter was protesting in support of racial equality. Period,” Clooney said.
“Sometimes it got out of hand, absolutely,” he added. “But that’s what they were doing. You can never say, ‘Well, those guys were bad and these guys were bad.’ And to hear those words come out of the president of the United States, that is a great crime.”
Black Lives Matter chapters or the group’s supporters have come under fire for what critics have called the organization’s engagement in racism against white people and outright anti-police acts.
Clearly. Like most Hollywood 'dreamers', he's rich, famous and and idiot.
To be 'equal," blacks would need to adopt white culture that is the basis for building all the great nations, technologies, and companies over the last 500 years....but that would be quite racist to insist on that.
Clooney is an actor. Their opinions are generally poorly formed by having lived in a luxurious, high-security bubble.
Let him walk through a New Orleans neighborhood some night with his wife!

He would never consider such a dangerous thing...let those dirty cops put their lives on the line daily and then condemn them if they defend themselves....idiots.
