Rob Reiner: Trump ‘Unearthed’ Racism of Uneducated White Male Supporters (ok meathead, whatever)
Big Hollywood ^ | Jerome Hudson

Posted on 09/10/2016 7:52:59 PM PDT by drewh

Filmmaker, actor and outspoken Donald Trump detractor Rob Reiner says it is impossible to level with the Republican presidential nominee’s bigoted supporters, who are “mostly white males who don’t have college degrees.” In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the actor said that there’s “a very serious strain of racism” that runs through those supporting the Republican presidential nominee.

“And that’s a kind of disturbing thing, and I don’t think you ever reach those people. I think that they’re impossible to turn around. It’s very disturbing because a lot of these racist ideas have kind of been dormant for a while, and he’s given voice to them — he’s kind of unearthed it. And the thing that’s most disturbing is to discover that there’s so many people that still hold those views,” Reiner said.

Reiner goes onto suggest that Trump supporters feel “threatened” by America’s racial diversity.

“If it isn’t overt racism, it’s this kind of a desperate attempt at holding on to some version of America that they think was there once. They’re really threatened by our diversity, and what’s so great about the experiment of democracy is that it celebrates diversity and diversity is what makes it strong,” he said.

Rob Reiner went to UCLA film school in the 1960s

Not exactly a citadel of higher learning

His father was Carl Reiner so he was treated deferentially as a prince of Hollywood royalty. Rob Reiner is no moron,he's just an arrogant and entitled limousine leftist.

70% of Americans don’t have college degrees *

So, does an advanced degree make you smarter than someone in the trades? Or are advanced degree students no smarter but just more liberal because they remain in a liberal-centric environment for a longer period of time?

2012 elections, by education
percent: .Dems.,.,.,Reps .....more likely to lean:
No HS ... 64 ...... 35 (oh dear - who’s uneducated again?)
HS grad ..51 ...... 48 Dems 47% Reps 39%
Some coll .49 ..... 48
4 year ...47 ...... 51 Dems 49% Reps 42%
PostGrad. 55 ...... 42 Dems 57% Reps 35% (64%/29% of women but only 50%/42% of men)

It's called liberty. Things liberals don't respect. Individual freedom. Religious freedom. Economic freedom. Free markets. Constitution. Rule of law. Equal treatment under the law. Limited government. Separation of powers. Justice.

According to Wikipedia Rob Reiner “attended” UCLA film school. Another words he dropped out.

It is so ironic that these angry Hollywood types like Reiner and for that matter Sarah Silverman accuse Trump supporters of the uneducated. Neither finished college and both are terribly angry.

President Abraham Lincoln freed American slaves, and Donald Trump will - essentially - free Welfare Americans seeking jobs.

This non-sequitur is so wrong, its sad.

What gets me is that Liberals thing they are soooo smart and open minded, but the truth is, they simply cannot detect their own stupidity and bigotry.

Rob Reiner was very well cast on All In The Family. It’s like he was born for it, a complete natural.


He couldn’t act in any other part, but you have to trust his choice making: he did marry a lesbian after all.

“Diversity” so often comes to be an object of veneration for its own sake.

But there are combinations of things that DON’T work well. We can indulge a lot of variation in style with no harm or even a salutory effect (nobody complains about big cities having both Little Italy and Chinatown) but once the substance varies from what is helpful, we have a problem.

I see this kind of low-thought mindset take hold even in large firms that should be more wisely guided, and it is to groan in pain.

Rob Reiner/Meathead, a classic example of life imitating art.

Hey loser Reiner, unless you or the other self-described “educated” persons have a STEM degree, your education is actually worthless certified brain-washing propaganda.

Enjoy your self entitled ego. Nobody else cares.

“mostly white males who don’t have college degrees.”

Rob Reiner was talking about Hollywood.
