Monty Python's Terry Gilliam blasts MeToo, says white men are 'blamed for everything'

“There are many victims in Harvey’s life,” he said, “and I feel sympathy for them, but then, Hollywood is full of very ambitious people who are adults and they make choices. We all make choices, and I could tell you who did make the choice and who didn’t. I hate Harvey. I had to work with him and I know the abuse, but I don’t want people saying that all men…"

"I understand that men have had more power longer, but I’m tired, as a white male, of being blamed for everything that is wrong with the world," Gilliam said."When you have power, you don’t take responsibility for abusing others. You enjoy the power. That’s the way it works in reality.”Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, was among those commenting. He said Gilliam"Terry Gilliam resists PC orthodoxy; Twitter outrage ensues: “I say let's kill him.”...”Let's have tea first.”...

Aww poor privileged white guy is upset

Terry who?

Backed by statistics on rape and sexual harrassment. Also white men more likely to be serial killers

Why are you still posting this?

Because if you blamed the real perpetrators you would be labeled a racist.

The media are doing anything to get blood in the streets. It’s how they make their money. They soulless scum.

Nah they are blamed for what they do, they lie so much they are not to be believed. STOP LYING!!

I mean to be fair, we don’t have th best track record.

Yes

The only people who assaulted, terrorized, abused, harassed, and discriminated against me were white men so....

ROFLMBBAO!! Then why is a Black guy (Cosby) the only one in jail for it?!

abuse of power is about the power itself, not about identity of the holder, whatever group has it will abuse it, it doesn’t matter who or what they are, it’s an inherent problem with humans as a species, anybody who thinks otherwise is an idiot

He is 100% correct 👍🏻

No use for these right wing snowflakes

The virality of hyperbolic opinions 101

He ain't wrong.

so sad to hear

Mannnnnnn. GTFOH

Oh Terry you’ve become an upper middle class twit.

Especially old ones.

Tell me about it

Uh, well...I guess maybe take a look at who is and who has been in charger for the last, oh, I don't know, FOREVER?

don’t even bother, dude. nobody cares

Shoe drop coming? 🤷🏻‍♂️

Well Terry, let’s be honest, we don’t have the best track record.

White men turned me into a Newt. ... I got better.

Well?...🤔

White men own everything, run everything, make all the laws, enforce the laws, and enjoy a privileged existence they're not even aware of. At least in America. So yeah, you're getting blamed. Deal w it 😎

It's true.

Stupid Socialists, their Politics don't work without a Scapegoat, just like how the Nazis had to scapegoat the Jews. Collectivists/Leftists are pretty foul and nasty across the board

It white men who cause most of the problems and should I have to give any examples, I don't think so.

The problem here is that every action that is done begs for accountability. Whatever happened to the Golden rule? How come we can't use this any longer? Maybe we should return?

Here's a puke for the obsolete animator.

I could agree

The greatest enemy has always been ignorance from ppl not taking responsabilty for ones actions and seeing how those actions were wrong at the time. But good things have come from white men like Indian democracy the USA, the sandwhich the computor google and hershey chocolate.

Ok, Monty Boomer.

He's spot on.

History will tell you, that white men are to blame for most things. STFU, and start acting like decent people, and the problem will go away. Hope this helps. Signed A white man.

Truth hurts I guess. Gtfoh.

you might be on to something, terry!

Poor victim 🙄

Of course Banshees like to blame white men for everything.

I just might be a new fan!

Oh STFU 🤦‍♀️

If the shoe fits, wear it!

There's a reason for that, Terry.

Boo fuckin' who. Yes you guys are to blame for most shit. dealwithit

And

And?

They don’t get blamed for many murders in Baltimore or Detroit.

Oh Terry soooooo disappointed

What nonsense is this, i hope there is more to his statement than the headline.

Says the white privileged man...

JFC! Has he seen the Republican House and Senate Caucuses?

Not only white men all men. Science/research has found (PBS) without men there would be no wars and very little violence. You see it's in your DNA

Why just white men? Maybe just old white men. China has always been a MeToo country. So no yellow men or black men...funny how we like to put our feelings in categories. So objective.

Truth hurts

Well...look at the state of our world and tell us who is responsible!? 🤷

Give Him a break. He's on the cusp of senility.

Jack ass.

Well. As a white male, we have been in charge of things for several thousand years and look how F’d up the place is.

Whites are the majority so technically statically they commit the most sexual assaults unless ur in the field of teaching middle school and high school then its white women.

Kevin Spacey running from his accusers

Yeah. We DO get blamed for a lot of shitty things. But to be fair, for the last few hundred yeats, we generally did a lot of shitty things.

“There are many victims in Harvey’s life, and I feel sympathy for them, but then, Hollywood is full of very ambitious people who are adults and they make choices.' Most of these women were fame whores

Sad. This means Monty python is officially too old.

TerryGilliam

I love Monty Python but why are these guys committing career suicide with these statements?

Perhaps we are guilty of a lot of things

He’s right because they are too blame.

As they should

Not everything...but I mean, you guys have done a lot of $h!+. Sooooo...

Playing the 'white' card... racist much?

Actually ugly old rich narcissistic white men are responsible for the Me Too movement.

Then explain Bill Cosby.......

Well,...stop doing dumb shit.

Sorry Terry, but historically it’s THEIR FUCKING FAULT 💅🏼🤷🏼‍♀️

The blame white men for the blame.

We don’t care.

Haha, what a sensitive bunch of sissies, those guys.

ugh

Ok Boomer....

Old white man privilege strikes again.... hush grandpa!

What’s he hiding in his closet?

QuotedReplies

Except when women are raped: they “asked for it” or when trans folks are killed: “they didn’t confirm” or when black folks are murdered by police: “they shouldn’t appear so ‘threatening’ or Latinx folks seek asylum: “they are trying to steal jobs” or when arab refugees are ban...

What’s Terry got to hide, I wonder?

Who cares what he thinks

I’ve enjoyed his comedy but I’m not enjoying his dottering musings.

I'm sorry is Dirty Harvey on trial because he was blamed for something? Or is he a disgusting predator who used his position to destroy lives and careers?

Then he should be working hard to support women in leadership positions, because it’s the head honchos getting called out for grabbing & groping, and they are all white men, so....

He is NOT wrong. Thanks Terry

That’s because they do “everything.”

I think he was blasting piling on, rigid intolerance to others, viciousness, and a victim mentality. White man’s past power and abuse was part of unjust societal fabric. We have since begun to evolve in all areas but forgiveness. Imagine going through life the victim.

WOMEN are the MAJORITY voters in the USA...always have been. THEY are responsible for just about everything that takes place in America. Domestic policy and foreign policy. People always want to shift blame and responsibility.

Vilifying white males is simply part 'n parcel to the overlay of progressive messaging to pander to potential voters of the perpetually outraged Class.

Go away.

Two men sitting in prison Bill Cosby and R Kelly are so white.

He’s absolutely correct.

I think he was blasting piling on, rigid intolerance to others, viciousness, and a victim mentality. White man’s past power and abuse was part of unjust societal fabric. We have evolived in all areas but forgiveness. Imagine going through life the victim.

He’s right. Speaking of...where’s MATTLAUER? We really need him back.

As much as I love Monty Python, Terry should just keep his opinion to himself; just as my opinion is only worth something to Me.

It’s so absurd!

He's right.

Does this guy know that rape is the ONLY violent crime on the rise in the US over the last 30 years? 🤔

Perhaps if white men shared the power with other nationalities and ladies then blame would be shared, but in his need to control everything blame will occur. Shared responsibility, shared blame.

Eat a piece of humble pie dude, maybe next life you’ll be black or a migrant at our border

Gross.

Grizzled old git. Buzz off then. There's a lad.

Because they do everything!!! You think!

Ironically, it’s the *only thing* white men suddenly don’t want to take credit for...

Well, a “White Man” did say it was your “Burden”. Deal with it, when you f*** up.

Down with white men !! What color was Adam in Eden? Red, yellow, black or white?

white men have been the ones in charge but they won't responsibility for the negative effects that right have BOOHOO

Graham Chapman spins.

there are the visible victims searching for justice and there are the forgotten victims those people perhaps more talented who have seen their career blocked because they are not attractive or accessible to the predator and the audience deprived of better actors

Who started the 2 World Wars and is likely to start the 3rd? I don't seem to recall it was minorities from the history books? 🤔

Bullshit. Many white guys have done a helluva lot of damage and ruined things for the rest of us.

Duh!

Monty Python, huh? Why would you even publish such trash? The sentiment and everyone behind this = 🚮

Its true. White European ans US men are really guilty

I don’t want to say everything, but i am gonna cite global history.

How long is a white dude’s first reaction to sexual violence going to be “white dudes” are blamed for everything? This is how Trump got elected.

White men do the most shady sh*t..

And they should be

there are the visible victims and there are the forgotten victims those people perhaps more talented who have seen their career blocked because they are not attractive or accessible to the predator and the audience deprived of better actors

Well...

Is he hiding something? Or unable to see the truth

If he actually said “when you have power you don’t take responsibility for abusing others. “This is the very thing wrong with the world .and WHITE men are the ones in power so white men ARENT BLAMED they are responsible.

Sarcasm?

Sad when dementia sets in.

blame it on cain, don’t blame it on me. it’s nobodys fault but we need somebody to burn

How incredibly insensitive can you be to blast an entire movement on the basis that the fragility of your male ego has been tarnished? “As a white man he is tired of it”. Are your feelings hurt? Wow, can’t allow that to happen!

Majority of shit in human history was started because of white men.

I'm a white guy. I've been one for most of my life. And one thing I've noticed is that the only other white guys who bitch about white guys being 'persecuted' are white guys who probably did something shitty and *should* be persecuted.

you're right what you say but it's usually by the dumb white uni

Who?

Hes not wrong

666

Well, if the loafer fits.......

Who cares 😆

Love this guy!!

He’s right

Poor poor abused white men. No one has it worse. They should start an ol' boys club or something.

Take a look around at the federal and various state governmental agencies, and the ‘titans of industry’ - what do you see? The vast majority of the folks you see are white men.

Yup, white men haven't started damn near ever major war in the history of mankind

Probably not the hill to die on 🙄

Yeah, I dare him to say that to a black man. 🙄

He spoke the truth. Did that offend you?

To be fair we aren't responsible for every bad thing, but we are accustomed to receiving credit we don't deserve. So if we get blamed for everything that seems fair to all sides really.

True

Ya think! We shall overcome.

Preach 😇

But yet Bill Cosby and R Kelly are in jail and none of the white men that were accused are, including Trump. 🙄

I've admired Gilliam for my entire adult life. This is disappointing.

Well, if white men weren’t guilty of doing everything, than maybe he’d have a point.

And he is absolutely right.

Boo Radley Hoo Why in every part of society—corporate America, literary/publishing, entertainment—are white men lamenting the rise of women, POC and LGBT+? Might it be because they see the patriarchy crumbling before their eyes and power slipping from their grasps?

Democrats hate the truth, he is right. Democrats hate white men..

Yup, he's got old white man grievance disease. Thoughts and prayers.

Methinks. Another old lech protests too much

Just the ones that need blaming

If the shoe fits. To fkn bad.

If the proverbial shoe fits, wear it. There are a plethora of reasons we old white guys 'get blamed for everything'. We need to own that shit and do better.

He’s not wrong.

If this were true we'd have a Native American Woman in office by now.

The last time I checked, Bill Cosby was still a BLACK man

🖕

People are pretty stupid nowadays so have to simplify everything down into 'dis good dis bad'

And now something completely NOT different. A white man complaining he is persecuted.

Because it's true.

Ok boomer

Well, my Monty Python dvd's are going in the trash. You cannot speak for the oppressed as the oppressor. metoo

old white guys never cease to disappoint

Well Colin Kap seems to think they are 😂 didn’t he get the memo that everything is racist.

Fuck this guy.

Very disappointing.

Maybe your privilege 🧐

TerryGilliam take note that white men r the ones committing most of the sexual abuse in the western world statistics show this very clearly & the problem is it’s getting worse! I was sexually abused 200+ times as a kid age 7-12 & there’s no justice for me, I pay for meds therapy

Well?

That's b.s.

I'll never get tired of perverted men fussing & stomping because they can no longer get away with sexually harassing women. Once, where women would laugh nervously & say nothing - now men are being called out for the groping gross, creeps they are.

Is this a colour thing or just men are blame for things stupid men who do stupid things

Wow. Just wow. It’s not the victims fault’s that most of the perpetrators are white males. Jeeze, you’d think he’d realize what that says.

LMAOOOOO

White men are responsible family men who make the world a better place. Propaganda won’t change that.

Yeah they really have it rough.... Lol

Was he accussed? If not, then all white aren't blamed. But Cosby tho...

Harvey Weinstein paid his victim. Kevin Spacey accusers killed himself Stephen Collins molested a family friend Nothing happen to them ☝️ So tell me how white men are victims. If anything they get away with so much shit.

He is correct

Ain’t that the Truth!

chickilopiccolo Well, yeah, for sure. The news here is?

There is a reason 'white men' are 'blamed' for everything. Has he read world history from the 15th century onward?

And rightly so

Well, everything is their fault. 😃

The 'pound me too' movement is a joke

Harvey Weinstein absorbing the Ronan Farrow stories

Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical aquatic ceremony.

Well Terry lets take a quick look at history shall we: Caesar’s, English Kings, French Kings, Napoleon, Hitler, Mussolini, Russian Czars, just to name a few wanted to rule the world. Is coincidence that they’re all white. There were Pharaohs but not really black blokes, eh Terry!

And?

That's because most things are their fault.

Hum....😒

...if the shoe fits and so on....

Early onset Alzheimer’s?

Um, most of the men in power are white men, the point further? whitemanwhine

Love Gilliam’s work but he’s wrong about this.

God damn it I was never going to see this shit movie so I can’t even properly avoid him on purpose. Fuck this guy.

We have another winner.

Umm...now I can't watch your movies in good conscience. Bums me out! Thanks a lot...

Ok boomer

I mean, really they’re just blaming people for sexual misconduct, harassment, and assault-it’s not the the metoo movement’s fault who the perpetrators of those acts are 🤷🏻‍♀️

Ok boomer

Typical

Because they do the majority of stupid shit

Blamed for everything? LOL tell him to take his scrunched up dirty old penis no one wanted to touch elsewhere.... too much. OOPS.

He's not entirely wrong.

Correction Terry. All men are blamed for everything.

It is all his fault personally!

Times upfor assholes like him. Bye bitch

Well, they should be blamed. They've done some bad shit.

Oh yes white men are sooo hard done by - could only be said by a white man.

Way to be racist, sexist, and victim-blame all at the same time there, champ...
