Unlike his characters who usually faced their monsters ... sounds like when danger reared its ugly head he bravely turned his tail and fled.

“I would never consider diversity in matters of art. Only quality. It seems to me that to do otherwise would be wrong.”
Basic common sense. Surprised pinko King would utter it in the first place.

Don’t let King up, Ava. Keep your knee on the chest of this racist, homophobic NAZI.
Destroy him and all the misbegotten wealth this white oppressor has ever earned.

He had one lucid, redeeming moment and then blew it.

It was a rare occasion King spoke actual truth. Sad he pedals away from it.

If it was a protest motivated by religious people upset about his portrayals of evil and sex, he would be defiant of their protest.

Gee, would never have thought that King was so...
racist.
Good that others have put him in his place, called him out on his lack of "wokeness," and threatened to publically pillory him if he didn't immediately backtrack!
Leftists are so tolerant!

It’s not easy standing up to liberal thugs... ask the teens from Covington... Oh wait, they did stand up to liberal thugs. Sorry never-mind.

I dont get it.
Painting is out on display. Everyone says it sucks. Then the say it was done by a transsexual homosexual hermaphrodite termite At that point is erroneous all of a side changes their mind that its good?

"When you wake up, meditate, stretch, reach for your phone to check on the world and see a tweet from someone you admire that is so backward and ignorant you want to go back to bed," DuVernay, whose docuseries "When They See Us," recently won best limited series at the 2020 Critics Choice Awards.Yeah, that's the first thing I do each morning, meditate, and check tweets from people I admire. Uh huh. /sarc

For real diversity, they should record some one like me singing and force liberals to buy it.

Diversity is like a cult with the Left.
Diversity is so good they shout you down for saying anything negative about it.
