Attention men:
Sherry Spencer (Richard’s mother) complained to ABC Fox Montana that her business is suffering—apparently some people don’t like her son’s “political views,”
“How many times do I have to fight goddamn Nazi’s.”
I have to imagine that a lot of the old school republicans have some serious issues with the way things are going. I also have hope for people like Mccain and Graham, they’re old enough to say fuck it, and just do the right thing. The real question is how the rest of them gauge the political climate and Trump’s…
My only hope is the Lindsay Graham and John McCain, both being so outspoken about having an investigation, know something is rotten. I can’t believe I just typed that, but it really is going to take Republicans to stand against this since anything the Democrats is just a “conspiracy theory advanced by the liberal…
So, how is Trump not being investigated for treason? This really looks a lot like a conspiracy between billionaires to give control of America’s resources and political offices to a hostile foreign government.
Exactly. It was a benefit for The Eric Trump Foundation, ostensibly to raise money for St. Jude’s.
They could have had a full Asian cast and hired Asian writers and an Asian director to write a kick ass but nucanced acton film. Marvel is doing this with Black Panter and Captain Marvel.
Good white people can be racist, too. We should accept that and not act like calling someone racist is as bad as racism.
I don’t think there’s a bad guy here either. I think cho’s feelings are valid and I think swinton’s are as well. They’re just coming at it with really different perspectives and experiences.
They problem is that this conversation:
Because Margaret Cho spoke about a lack of representation of Asian Americans in media then Tilda Swenton has thr right to ask for her time.and attention. Ultimately the conversation ended with Tilda not learning something or changing her position. It seemed like she wanted absolution from the head Asian.
Look, maybe I’m coming at this with the wrong assumption about what you think of Swinton and people in GB in general but if you’re wondering how she would know about racial discrimination and privilege before this movie, my question is more, how could she not.
No one is perfect. Good is a journey, not an intrinsic value. I believe we’re all allowed to mess up, say ‘well damn sorry’ and move on. That was really what the best case scenario there would have been.
Yeah, but it wasn’t just about input. And you know what? Swinton KNEW. Come on. If we look at it in the best possible light, as in “I’m in my dreary Scots castle and never see these things in public nor have I ever heard of whitewashing” a simple, “Well, shit, I fucked up and will do better next time” should do it.
It’s not that Swinton contacted her to discuss it that’s the problem, it’s that she seemed to be looking for absolution more than information. She seemed to be asking Cho to tell her that the backlash was unwarranted, and then talked about her personal orientation to the issue when Cho explained the historical context…
It’s not up to Margaret Cho to alleviate Tilda Swinton’s white guilt. It’s not her job. She is not Representative Asian #4. If Swinton had mixed feelings, she has the money to avoid the role and choose something else. Once she chose to move forward and do the role, then who is benefiting from those guilt feelings,…
Yeah, it was still not okay to seek out an Asian person you don’t know to have the white person guilt convo, and that is really how it looks to me. She joked about it afterward, but the feelings of having to hear/witness/be asked to be in that conversation must have been maddening.
Also, she just went through a very traumatic event, too. I’m sure it doesn’t help if you are working through your own shit. Like, come on people, there is only so much stress and trauma people can withstand at once before your thinking is compromised and you have to go on auto-pilot for survival. Yes, they have money…
