Denzel Washington says things that Hollywood cowards won’t. It’s fascinating that BLM hasn’t tried to cancel him.

Well, he is making perfectly rational statements.
There is nothing rational about “put God first”.
… says the “scientician”.
Just go away.
It’s getting more obvious now that we are getting into a civil war as the Democrats are ignoring Biden’s Constitutional Disqualification and trying to get one last take over of the US Capital with the media help.
This is why we have so much military build up now. They know their party will not survive another President Trump term.
Watched this a couple days ago and thought of posting it. Then it’s like Hey there it is. Larry Elder has one of the best talk shows in America. I power listen to his weekly show on the weekend. There’s a reason no one debates him.
Love how Denzel swats away the progressive talking points. He’s not a “victacrat” as Larry describes those who go thru life blaming everyone for their failures.
First saw him in “Much Ado About Nothing” and was very impressed by his acting in what must have been a difficult role. Am even more impressed by his message, though I know those who want to keeps blacks down on the plantation will seek to cancel him.
A sterling actor and right on point.
+++ OK
He has been making this point for a while. I suppose his talent and status are the reasons why he has not (yet) been cancelled.
You left out skin color. His skin color inoculates him from any form of retribution. So the left just explain away his comments by saying he has … “daddy issues”.
Not necessarily.
Consider how black conservatives are treated.
Denzel Peterson.
Truth will out.
“It’s fascinating that BLM hasn’t tried to cancel him.”
Yet.
Give it time. They will get to him. No one is immune. They will come for EVERYONE. Eventually. Black, gay, male, female, nothing matters. Only the daily two minutes hate.
The original Mystery Science Theatre 3000 movie team came up with a better word that Victacrat while making fun of the terms in movie credits, Boots!
The projectionist…!
Why would BLM cancel Denzel? All BLM would have to say is that Denzel is correct, but that it’s *the System* to blame for not having a father in the house, because… you know… it’s *the system* that put daddy in jail!
Part of BLMs manifesto (that has been cleaned from their website) is to break down the nuclear family because black boys don’t need black dads in their lives. Denzel is an existential threat to their movement because he’s talking about how dads are necessary.
He’s not the only one saying this. Morgan Freeman says pretty much the same thing.
Even Bill Crosby said this, though his message may be being cancelled by his other serious sins.
Robert – Denzel’s responses are powerful. He can reach people that Focus on the Family and Promise Keepers will never reach. Thanks for sharing. I will do the same.
People not personally affected by the oppression they say they’re against are usually the most violent terrorists.
Marx married into royalty. Bin Laden was filthy rich. The list of rich kid terrorists is a long one.
They send the victims they say they want to protect to their deaths as suicide bombers, insurgents and soldier fodder.
“Osama bin Laden was the son of a Saudi construction magnate. His successor as the leader of al Qaeda, Ayman al Zawahiri, is a surgeon from a prominent Egyptian family.”
Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab, the so-called “underwear bomber” who tried to blow up an American passenger jet over Detroit on Christmas Day 2009, is the son of a wealthy Nigerian banker and was attending University College London, one of the top universities in the world, when he tried unsuccessfully to blow up Northwest Flight 253 with a bomb secreted in his underwear. The underwear bomber was directed on his mission by Anwar al-Awlaki, the US-born son of a Yemeni cabinet minister who was studying for his PhD at George Washington University before he joined al Qaeda in Yemen.”
The notorious ISIS terrorist “Jihadi John” – Mohammed Emwazi – who was responsible for the beheading of American journalist James Foley in 2014, was from “a well-to-do family who grew up in West London and graduated from college with a degree in computer programming,” according to the Washington Post.”
The lead 9/11 hijacker, Mohamed Atta, was the son of an Egyptian lawyer and was studying for a doctorate from a German university.”
Don’t forget that future President Alexandra Often Cockeyed also has a few bucks behind her.
Want a dictator or terrorist? Nothing beats a poor little rich kid bored out of his gourd…..
You see, what he is talking about is common sense.
The problem is, as the song goes, common sense is not as common as it used to be.
The education takes care of that.
Victimhood today is the number one priority in a number and variety of aggrieved ‘identifiable’ groups, as each will try to out victim the other and to be the bigger victim than the other one.
There is certain fun in the irony when there is a conflict between two victim identity groups or individuals and you sit back and watch who is going to win the victimhood battle. Today it happens almost every day.
The privileged, racist, misogynist, straight white men, lose hands down because they, for some unfathomable reason know there is no free lunch. There is just too much baggage. They go to school, they get the job, they work day in day out and at the end of the day they tell you on TV that you are just too damn privileged. You should feel sorry for those poor victims that hang around sitting in the edge of a sidewalk, trying to think how to take the other guys stuff and avoid getting busted.
That is not to say that there are no white trash men, so no projecting.
The point is, it is lopsided.
And nobody is without sin, there is no holy man around.
One would say that even the best of them will decide on a whim to do things, sometimes criminal, that normally they would not be proud of. It’s a condition of life.
The struggle, as with all things in life, is in keeping the bad doings down and the good doings up as opposed to the other way around.
To make today a better day than yesterday is not that difficult if you put your mind to it and focus on yourself regardless what others do.
It’s always been a puzzle why some spend so much time on how to do a better crime rather spending it on how to do something of value to make life better.
Heh … and now you know.
Bill Cosby.
I remember when people said similar things about the common sense, non racially divisive statements he made. It took a while, but they dug up enough real skeletons to destroy him. But known pedophiles with the correct political agenda are still employed by Hollywood.
If Denzel is still getting Hollywood jobs in 2026, I will be surprised.
Well, but Bill Cosby was only famous in the first place because he was Culpable….
