Former Monty Python star Terry Gilliam has hit out at the #MeToo Movement, labelling it “a witch hunt”, saying he is “tired, as a white male, of being blamed for everything that is wrong with the world”.

The writer and director made comments during an interview where he also said he “better not be a man”.

Talking to the Independent, Gilliam said: “Yeah, I said #MeToo is a witch hunt - I really feel there were a lot of people, decent people, or mildly irritating people, who were getting hammered. That’s wrong. I don’t like mob mentality.

From yahoo article. Link to follow. But, yeah I suppose if you let the allegations bother you it might be disconcerting. Bottom line, I didn't do it so don't bother me with it. I know the screed. If I didn't stop it I'm just as guilty blah blah blah. Sorry, I don't do guilt trips.

I was on an assignment with a friend/coworker who is Jewish. One day, after reading FR for a bit, I leaned back in my chair and said the exact same thing “I’m a white, middle aged, Christian male. I am so sick of being blamed for everything,”. Friend looks over and says “Dude. Please!”

I love Gilliam. And I love his post-Python work; Brazil (especially), The Brothers Grimm, The Fisher King...great films!

I like to be blamed for progress in science, technology, medicine, and peaceful society.

White people have done well considering that they are a global minority.

“White people have done well considering that they are a global minority.”

WWII era, whites were 30% of the planet. Today it’s 7 or 9%.

When muslims get in power in Western countries amd whites are even less don’t think there will not be roundups of remaining whites.

I’ve often imagined what would this country be like with no white people. Ive also imagined what it would be like with only white people. In each case I’ve got a pretty good idea as to the answers.

Wow! A moment of sanity from showbiz.It doesn’t happen often but it is nice to see.

If you subtract whites and asians from world history, it seems there would be some interesting ruins around the world in South America but otherwise mostly people living in huts scraping the dirt for food everywhere in the world.

But sure non-whites, blame us whites for how bad it is when you have two TVs and a cell phone and are 40 pounds overweight because you eat too much so you need to run the air conditioning in your free housing all summer because you sweat a lot.

Muslims are great at destroying things and tearing them down. They are terrible at building things. If they ever achieve primacy in the western world, the human race will be set back 500 years within two generations.

Ok, but apart from that, what have the white people *ever* done for us?

[navymom1]

Well boo fricken hoo. It was you and your buddies in the industry and academia who saddled the rest of us with an insane PC world! Deal with it jerk!

Jesus beat everyone to that cross 2000 years ago! And that's no joke.
