What did he say that was so horrible? That he believes awards should be based on merit?
Heathen!!!
I don’t know for the life of me how one can be so leftist and then say something like this.
It’s one of the left’s most precious platforms.
It’s like being conservative but not wanting a wall.
Still, I’m glad he said it.
When you’re very wealthy, you tend to say more of what you really think.
Vince Vaughn and now King in trouble. I’m sure they’re very worried.
Yeah but don’t ya know, the new commie motto, you get rewarded based on your race, nothing else
I am president of a community orchestra. We get small grants from the city and county. County had a ‘diversity’ workshop in which we broke up into groups and talked about the most important qualities in art/ music. You should have heard the lefty-blather. “Diversity” of course; ‘equality.’ ‘Empathy.” Empathy?? In art?? In an orchestra?
I put out ‘quality’ and announced it was the only one that mattered. You should have seen the demon-eyes!!! “Quality?? Over empathy?” I said, “Yes, what good is music if it is not as good as you can make it?” They just could not grasp it.
I could have warned Stephen King haha.
“What did he say that was so horrible? That he believes awards should be based on merit?”
Merit is racissss.
Yep.
Big No-No in Snowflake land....................
Kinda funny from a guy that basically writes “trash” novels.
Yes.
The leftards are eating their own. All those white cucks who’ve helped pushed the “diversity” narrative are free to give up their jobs to ‘people of color’.
Yep - because that would also mean everything should be decided that way (as insinuated by his “in matters of art” qualifier) - they hate that...
