The critic also faulted Hanks for repeatedly playing “righteous white men” in movies including Saving Private Ryan and Apollo 13. “In other words, he is a baby boomer star who has built a sizable part of his career on stories about American white men Doing the Right Thing,” the critic wrote.


Damn white men doing the right thing. Many of them died doing it

The NPR critic thinks mighty highly of himself. He speaks as though anyone knows who he is, or that they give a tinker’s damn about what he has to say.

NPR ... where the Left’s cesspool drops off into the deep.

I would love to be hated by them, it would mean I was doing at least something right.

He’s white. If he plays a positive role that character will be white. Not much new can do about that.

And what do you want anyway?? If a person is white, don’t you want them to do The Right Thing?

So Qwitcherbellyachin.

Anti-racist is really racism. Just like antifa is really fascism. It seems to be a fad with leftist to name things the exact opposite of what they really are.

There are some clips of him exposing himself on the set joking around.

Funny how no one makes a big deal of that right now when everyone is getting canceled for the smallest thing.

TV critic? When’s the last time Tom Hanks was on a regular TV series? Forty years ago? Bosom Buddies?

Can’t wait for their fashion and society reporter to chime in about Global warming.

If Americans hadn’t ‘done the right thing’ when necessary we’d all be speaking German now. And black people? Hitler might have found them ‘inferior’...

Maybe WOKE thugs need to pick up a history book every now and then. Not much good has come from the whiners of the world - but lots of good as come from the people who get off their butts and ‘do the right thing’...

“Why is nobody seemingly standing up to this obvious Chinese insurrection?”

Because almost everyone is still blind to the depth, breadth, and magnitude of the communist Chinese influence in Hollywood, universities, Big Tech, sports, and especially politicians of both parties. They shape our news, and form the opinions of our young people. They are EVERYWHERE behind the scenes.
