Since October 2019, USC students have called for the exhibit’s removal, citing Wayne’s public remarks “endorsing white supremacy,”

It will never end

elybuendia9001 That is too much hypocrisy..

Worlds gone fucking mental!

Amazes me how anyone could be so stupid to say such things in the 70’s

The Searchers, The Shootist, Red River, The Three Godfathers and Stagecoach are some of his classic films. Maybe leftists should watch some of them if they're not too cowardly and scared to watch John Wayne. Wimpy leftists, GTH.

Put the wagons in a circle......,

Oh please, this is getting beyond ridiculous.

So happy the little rich kids going to cinema school can feel safe and righteous now. Useless degree. Get a camera and make a film. Or are you making elitist connections? It’s a Comedy and a tragedy all rolled into one. Enjoying the money daddy stole from the poor.

Whose worse the misfit mobs or the leaders of the university?

Shit just got real. 😪

The woke speak pretty good American for being a shower of Commanche.

Is USC going to give back the money the Wayne family has donated to USC for the past 40 yrs? JohnDukeWayne

California is trash!

If this truly was the student’s decision then right on! It’s their world to adopt, and if they don’t want to make icons of racists, then they are in good thinking. It will be their America as they see fit. We’ll all be dirt napping. Hand it over!.. indoctrinate your kids to DEMS!

John Wayne a man of all men.⭐️🎥🙏🏻❤️

Rap has racist remarks every minute they gonna ban that

Yeah, fuck wayne.

In a 1985 interview, reporter Miles White quoted Miles Davis as saying: 'If somebody told me I only had one hour to live, I'd spend it choking a White man. I'd do it nice and slow.' sounds racist. good thing he doesn't have a statue at USC or it'd be gone. right?

Horrible man. About time

Whitewash of reality, history and the lived experience of the time gives a very shallow understanding of the whole human experience. With the hindsight of today’s world his view, if still in this world , may be very different and changed completely.

And homophobic. His treatment of Monty Clift was well documented.

🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

kids, jeez

How about, they yard sale his 💩

Taking down a statue that you're charging kids $50,000 to not be allowed on campus to see this year while not figuring out how you let a sex offender be your chief on campus ob/gyn for decades. Sounds about right for this year of symbolic gestures.

Why don’t students just do their fucking homework

Se foder vai

We should only honor those who represent all of us. Not just the people who DECIDE to honor people.

Another one, for the who gives a shit gazette...yallz BEGGIN 4 a backlash ain't NEVA BEEN SEEN!!!

Get that shit out of here

Obama’s next keep it up liberals

Uh oh.

And stop teaching history in school's 😩

The Trojan has the worst human rights violations against them historically. They conquered lands that weren't theirs and en SLAVEd them! Tear down TOMMY TROJAN!

She erase all American/world history is all racist ...
