Disappointment: Favorite actors were racists!

Taichiliberal

Shaken, not stirred!
Most black Americans know that there is a congenital racism in this country that affects more than most people would like to admit. TV and movies are an escape from the daily grind. Unfortunately, people have a tendency to believe that what they see on the screen reflects the personality of the characters the actors portray. Sadly, that is not the case.

Here are some perfect examples that I found disappointing and somewhat surprising.

CURRENT COMMUNIST GOALS

1. U.S. acceptance of coexistence as the only alternative to atomic war.

2. U.S. willingness to capitulate in preference to engaging in atomic war.

3. Develop the illusion that total disarmament [by] the United States would be a demonstration of moral strength.

4. Permit free trade between all nations regardless of Communist affiliation and regardless of whether or not items could be used for war.

5. Extension of long-term loans to Russia and Soviet satellites.

6. Provide American aid to all nations regardless of Communist domination.

7. Grant recognition of Red China. Admission of Red China to the U.N.

8. Set up East and West Germany as separate states in spite of Khrushchev's promise in 1955 to settle the German question by free elections under supervision of the U.N.

9. Prolong the conferences to ban atomic tests because the United States has agreed to suspend tests as long as negotiations are in progress.

10. Allow all Soviet satellites individual representation in the U.N.

11. Promote the U.N. as the only hope for mankind. If its charter is rewritten, demand that it be set up as a one-world government with its own independent armed forces. (Some Communist leaders believe the world can be taken over as easily by the U.N. as by Moscow. Sometimes these two centers compete with each other as they are now doing in the Congo.)

12. Resist any attempt to outlaw the Communist Party.

13. Do away with all loyalty oaths.

14. Continue giving Russia access to the U.S. Patent Office.

15. Capture one or both of the political parties in the United States.

16. Use technical decisions of the courts to weaken basic American institutions by claiming their activities violate civil rights.

17. Get control of the schools. Use them as transmission belts for socialism and current Communist propaganda. Soften the curriculum. Get control of teachers' associations. Put the party line in textbooks.

18. Gain control of all student newspapers.

19. Use student riots to foment public protests against programs or organizations which are under Communist attack.

20. Infiltrate the press. Get control of book-review assignments, editorial writing, policymaking positions.

21. Gain control of key positions in radio, TV, and motion pictures.

22. Continue discrediting American culture by degrading all forms of artistic expression. An American Communist cell was told to "eliminate all good sculpture from parks and buildings, substitute shapeless, awkward and meaningless forms."

23. Control art critics and directors of art museums. "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art."

24. Eliminate all laws governing obscenity by calling them "censorship" and a violation of free speech and free press.

25. Break down cultural standards of morality by promoting pornography and obscenity in books, magazines, motion pictures, radio, and TV.

26. Present homosexuality, degeneracy and promiscuity as "normal, natural, healthy."

27. Infiltrate the churches and replace revealed religion with "social" religion. Discredit the Bible and emphasize the need for intellectual maturity which does not need a "religious crutch."

28. Eliminate prayer or any phase of religious expression in the schools on the ground that it violates the principle of "separation of church and state."

29. Discredit the American Constitution by calling it inadequate, old-fashioned, out of step with modern needs, a hindrance to cooperation between nations on a worldwide basis.

30. Discredit the American Founding Fathers. Present them as selfish aristocrats who had no concern for the "common man."

31. Belittle all forms of American culture and discourage the teaching of American history on the ground that it was only a minor part of the "big picture." Give more emphasis to Russian history since the Communists took over.

32. Support any socialist movement to give centralized control over any part of the culture--education, social agencies, welfare programs, mental health clinics, etc.

33. Eliminate all laws or procedures which interfere with the operation of the Communist apparatus.

34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities.

35. Discredit and eventually dismantle the FBI.

36. Infiltrate and gain control of more unions.

39. Dominate the psychiatric profession and use mental health laws as a means of gaining coercive control over those who oppose Communist goals.

40. Discredit the family as an institution. Encourage promiscuity and easy divorce.

41. Emphasize the need to raise children away from the negative influence of parents. Attribute prejudices, mental blocks and retarding of children to suppressive influence of parents.

42. Create the impression that violence and insurrection are legitimate aspects of the American tradition; that students and special-interest groups should rise up and use ["]united force["] to solve economic, political or social problems.

43. Overthrow all colonial governments before native populations are ready for self-government.

44. Internationalize the Panama Canal.

45. Repeal the Connally reservation so the United States cannot prevent the World Court from seizing jurisdiction [over domestic problems. Give the World Court jurisdiction] over nations and individuals alike.

OP is a Commie shitbag.

So let me get this straight: documentation of racism, bigoted behavior and bias actions (which by the way, are un-American) is a communist plot?
And because some Florida judge (once an appointee of disgraced ex-President Nixon, who made political bones in the McCarthy era) publishes HIS OPINION as to the "red scare" in America, you take it as gospel?

No one put those words or actions into the mouths of the folk noted in the OP video, Matty. Like I said, I LIKED many of these guys on the screen and I won't take away their talent....but it's disheartening to know that off camera they hated people like me just on sight.

If that's cool with you, then that's your story and you're part of the problem in America.

Their racism was in the past and should stay there. The Communist part enters in the present where they're dredging things like that up and there's no way for those people to defend themselves.

Kramer is the only one still alive and if what he did offends you deeply, YOU are part of the problem. Was what he did ugly? Yes. Were those people harassing him and disrupting a show everybody there paid money to see? Yes.

Have you ever read The Naked Communist?

Jimmy Stewart a hot-tempered racist, that was a big disappointment.
 
Different time and place!
It was easy to be a racist when there was little or no interaction with the other race.

No excuse! Segregation and exclusion never stopped bigots from being bigots or racists being racists. Hell, to this day you have folk of any race, creed or color who don't interact (or do so with bare limitation) with anyone outside of their "group" who harbor all the bilge of those who have daily interactions with "those people". It's how you're raised and the majority mindset.

I was disheartened to find out about Jimmy Stewart and William Frawley ... damned near shocked by Walter Brennan. I loved these guys on TV and in the movies. Ahh well, such is life.

I don't know how old you were but it's easy to put todays standards on an earlier eras world.

to your first sentence: Actually, most of the actors in the clip are dead. Mel Gibson is alive and kicking, and is just ONE example of a mindset that has NEVER truly died in the USA....just look at some of the garbage posted on this site by the most rabid and prolific of bigots and racists.

to the rest of your response: You can't dodge the FACTS of the OP with a regurgitation on the "red scare", as that is NOT the issue of the OP. If finding out some of your favorite movie stars and TV icons were/are blatant racists disturbs you....then discuss it here or in your private life with some of your friends & family.

Now if you are going to use the old McCarthy ploy of accusing anyone who won't go down this detour with you as a communist, then so much more to pity your intellectual dishonesty and cowardice. If you got nothing else than this attempted hijack of the thread, then it's back on the ignore list with you. Sober up and Carry on.

Speaking of intellectual dishonesty and cowardice, Y U running here instead of debating me in your other thread?

It's right there in the declared Communist goals for America: "Our plan is to promote ugliness, repulsive, meaningless art.". Their plan is to do away with all the old and good stuff so they can usher in the crap that they want.

How's late night TV doing? What's that? They can't beat Carson? I wonder why that is. :thinking:

To this day, Johnny Carson still owns late night TV. None of the current schmucks come anywhere near his level.

Part of their problem is that they regurgitate leftist talking points and policy. That's probably all their problem.

Nobody cares to tune in to the current leftist shills that are on late night TV today. :nono:

I don't know how old you were but it's easy to put todays standards on an earlier eras world.

Again, a BS argument that is used by members of the ruling majority to excuse the actions of their grand parents and/or parents. Do some research regarding cases of "red lining", or how various broadcast celebrities have killed their careers with mouthed bigotries....JUST IN THE LAST 25 YEARS. That's for openers, but hopefully, you'll get my point.

You need to sober up, junior. You just getting worse in your ramblings.

SOS with you....always declaring victory or that no one offers proof or fully debates you. then it's the usual cavalcade of repetitious detours, misrepresentations and out right BS.

You're drunk so you may not realize how stupid you come across. I mean, in print I state how much I loved these guys in their movie and TV roles, and it's disheartening to know that in real life they were bigoted assholes who would hate me on site because of my skin color and different facial features. Then you come along and blather like I said no such thing.

Carson has nothing to do with the OP, asshole. Get a sober adult to explain it to you.

Well, I gave you a chance and you choose to remain the bigoted, intellectually dishonest and impotent MAGA minion that you are. I'm done with you....follow me at your own frustration.
