When figures like Matthew McConaughey accuse liberals of sowing discord, they minimize the issues 'that cause the divisiveness' in the first place, writes THR columnist Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

When figures like Matthew McConaughey accuse liberals of sowing discord, they minimize the issues"that cause the divisiveness" in the first place, writes the THR columnist.

Despite all the Sturm and Drang from MAGA-maniacs, there’s a familiar and inevitable blaming of liberals. Actor Matthew McConaughey recently blasted “the far left,” noting that, “There are a lot [of people] on that illiberal left that absolutely condescend, patronize and are arrogant towards that other 50 percent.

McConaughey overlooked another important issue: his “other 50 percent” declared with their vote that racism, misogyny, and other forms of marginalization that take the lives, health, and futures of millions of people aren’t as important as… what exactly? A wall? Confederate monuments? Athletes not kneeling? Not wanting to wear a mask? Black and Latinx communities suffered a much greater rate of sickness and lost lives from COVID-19 while Trump lied to the country about its severity.

Meanwhile, Trump and his convicted-criminal cronies Roger Stone and George Papadopoulos, whom he has pardoned, encouraged masses of people to come to Washington, DC on Jan. 6 to try to bully Congress into overturning the results of the election. “JANUARY SIXTH, SEE YOU IN DC!” Trump tweeted. When the largely maskless mob arrived, he told them to march to the Capitol Building, falsely saying he’d march with them.

I got a clip on my phone of a hollywood star at the capital who want this gravy

was just wondering what Kareem’s take was

Really? McConaughey is one of them? My mother bought me his memoir for Christmas. I fully intend to use it to wipe my ass. Alright, alright, al-fuck yourself, McConaughey.

Oh, I remember Matt saying right after the 2016 election, 'Now, now. Give him a chance.' and I will never ever forget it.

Step 1: Call half the country is Nazis and racists. Step 2: Take action to remove their ability to freely speak and express themselves, labeling them domestic terrorists. Step 3: Enjoy unity and harmony. Great plan. What could possibly go wrong.

Oh, don't tell me he's one of them!

he never gettin movie roles any more.....

White privilege good ol boy from a Confederate state, Texas. And your opinion is from U. Of TX? No; from your dick.

Tell me Tall-Man, where would you like to be overthrown? In Jerusalem, or Argentina?

White men like MatthewMcConaughey refuse to acknowledge any racism on their part whatsoever. And any racism they feel, they feel entitled to. Better get over that, Matt, if you want to have a career. Time for EVERYONE to grow up & OWN UP.

Yawn
