Deadline ^ | January 23, 2016 | Ross A. Lincoln

Posted on 01/24/2016 9:20:12 AM PST by EveningStar

While on the scene at the Sundance Film Festival this weekend, Danny DeVito took a moment to comment on the tinderbox subject diversity in the entertainment industry, and the actor-producer didn't mince words at all. Bluntly attributing the lack of diversity in Hollywood and subsequently in awards-recognized films to systemic racism, he said that "it's unfortunate that the entire country is a racist country."

Danny DeVito is either an ignoramus, or a liar, or a little of both.

Well, yes. You’re Democrats. It goes without saying.

If you are obsessed by race, its a slam-dunk you’re a Dem. I’ve met very few Dems who weren’t race-obsessed and almost no one who was race obsessed who wasn’t a Dem. Thats who they are.

I’m amazed at the number and ability of mind-readers in Hollywood.

Acting may be lucrative, but if you’re clairvoyant why not head to the poker tables in Vegas where you can win untold millions by predicting other players’ actions?

If we’re all racists, where are all the intelligent, sympathetic racist characters on TV, in movies, etc.?

Well, next year, you can be sure that the new voting regulations will ensure that blacks get nominated. Won’t it feel good to know that you’ve been nominated because you had to fill a quota?

DeVito can stand up and represent the Pygmy race.

Yep. Hollywood leftists are a bunch of racists. Glad they admit that.

I predict next year every major category nominee will be black and it’ll be the lowest rated Oscar telecast in history.

This is what Obama’s “healing the racial divide” looks like seven years later. This is the discussion Sharpton wants us to have. For the sake of simplicity, if you’re going to accused and convicted of something without being able to mount a defense, may as well commit the crime and take what rewards from it as there may be. In this case, the reward is being able to say, “So what?” and getting on with your life.

He self-identifies as black now? That’s the seat of racism today.

Hey Danny, why don’t you go ahead and make a nice donation to the United Negro College Fund, huh?

DeVito is a disgusting, ugly(and I’m Talking inner ugly), uber liberal, alcoholic that as far as I ever discerned played one character and that required no acting skills because he was just being himself.
