FPM: Oh, this is schadenfreude-licious. Outspoken celebrity Democratic activist/donor Matt Damon opened his mouth and let the truth about the left’s superficial commitment to “diversity” slip out.
Now, liberal ideologues are furiously whacking the relentless GOP-bashing actor for his “white privilege.” There’s even a Twitter hashtag — “#damonsplaining” — that erupted this week to mock his unforgivable political transgression.
Here’s what happened. Damon (along with his progressive pal Ben Affleck) co-produces the television series “Project Greenlight,” which gives wannabe filmmakers the opportunity to compete for a shot at directing their first feature film. The current season’s prize script features a man who weds a black prostitute after being abandoned at the altar. On this week’s episode of the show, aired on HBO, Damon dressed down black female producer Effie Brown for pushing the judges to give special consideration to a directing duo consisting of a white woman and a Vietnamese-American man.
An impatient Damon retorted: “When we’re talking about diversity, you do it in the casting of the film, not in the casting of the show.” MORE
A documentary about this incident would be more interesting than either the crappy TV show or the crappy movie idea.
“Diversity is our strength” is the Prime Lie of our age.
Damon & Affleck – a pair of bitchy little girls – neither don’t rise to the level of manlet.
It’s all “diversity is strength”…
…until they want YOUR job.
Got it, Matt. You A§$H*LE.
Heh heh heh … Maaaaaaaatttttt Daaaaaaaaammmmmmooooooonnnnnnn heh heh heh … doesn’t just play an imbecile on TV – REALLY IS ONE!
Matt who? HBO what? Heard of ’em, don’t watch either one. And they DEFINITELY don’t make any kind of an impact anywhere in my life.
I won’t be losing any sleep over this.
