Malcolm X would’ve been crashing out right now and attacking Republicans hard instead of saying “both sides are bad, guys”. It’s true that both parties try to manipulate us but anyone who’s pretending that they’re on the same level is delusional.
Malcolm would have been shytting on the dems just as hard as those right wing nuts.

Delusional rich people who aren't seen as regular black folk and don't have to deal with the cac-ery. In theory he's right, but in reality we have to do what's best for us. There is no both sides. One side blatantly don't want you to have shyt. And they are 100% enjoying this both sides and not voting shyt. That's why they won
Correct one absolutely doesn’t want us to have anything. Meanwhile the other side is ok giving us bare minimum because “where else we gonna go”.

It’s strange how upset people get off someone saying hold all politicians accountable regardless of affiliation. Man didn’t campaign for one party or single out one either.

If posters in here pivoted from saying “#bothsides to #HoldAllAccountable it would still be a problem.

Denzel is similar to a lot of our elders 55+ who have been thru several elections & auto given votes to one party. Years of doing that & still seeing the current climate they’re tired.

They are enjoying the morons who keep mockingly using the term '#BothSides' like it has any meaning or serious intellectual analysis behind it. They know it's just pussies who need to believe there are only two options politically, vote for one side or the other so as to keep up the childish notion of democracy and the real cause of oppression as the supreme political ideal. They know that this ensures nothing actually political that would need to be done for people to be free will ever occur.

People are so stupid breh. If Hitler and Stalin were the candidates they would still seriously argue "Well Stalin killed more people than Hitler, so it's our moral duty to vote for Hitler y'all!!! You're so immature if you don't vote for Hitler. :rolleyes: We need to be realists. These are the only candidates we have y'all. Let's stay true to democracy and vote Hitler! :yes: "

Both the Dems and Republican take money from the same people, the people behind Project 2025 shopped it to the democrats first and worked on Romney’s campaign and then worked with Obama during his second term.

All these politicians don’t give a fukk about your regular ass they do the bidding of their masters (donors,Israel and billionaire oligarchs) so I advise everyone to get their money up and take care of their families.

All that shyt sounds good in theory but when you have not only the electorate we have but currently a HOF POS coming in to power, that shyt is not happening. A both sider, huh, let's see how same they are after the next 4 years.
Denzel so rich he ain’t going to throw the republicans under the bus. He also has the type of money that he can leave and live anywhere if shyt gets bad. Don’t trust these rich motherfukker’s opinions.

Above the fray.

That member's avatar is a minstrel cartoon character added to a children's film to make fun of Black people. Literally a Jim Crow crow from Dumbo.

Never peeped that until now. Odd decision for a Black person to make and keep in 2024. Even more odd that person with minstrel character avatar would claim offense to what a Black actor does on screen.

Denzel Washington is sharing his thoughts on the current political landscape in the United States.

The two-time Oscar-winning actor, who stars in Ridley Scott’s upcoming Gladiator II, was recently asked about the 2024 presidential election, which saw Donald Trump defeat Kamala Harris earlier this month. During his interview with The Sunday Times, editor Jonathan Dean also noted a specific line in Gladiator II that felt timely given the election: “Empires fall, so do emperors.”

“You know, it’s so easy to stand outside America and say this and that,” Washington, 69, said in response. “Turn around, you know? Pick a country. Any one.”

“But listen,” the Training Day actor continued. “It’s all politics. All promises unkept. And now with the information age the way it is — if anything — left, right, whatever had better learn how to use those tools to manipulate the people. There was a great line in the first movie I did, [1981’s] Carbon Copy: ‘Power to the people? Yeah, they had it once — it was called the Stone Age.’”

“We’re all slaves to information now. We really are. We’re all slaves. So whatever you feel about the leaders, like this guy’s crazy or the other one is sane, you’d better realize you’re being manipulated by both sides. Period,” Washington added. “Yeah. So go to the movies.”


The Equalizer 3 star has previously been open about urging people to “open our eyes” and hold elected officials in office accountable.

“I think we, as Americans, need to unite and to hold all of our elected officials’ feet to the fire as it relates to working together,” he told The Hollywood Reporter in 2017, during which Trump was serving his first term as president. “We need to demand that they work together through our vote, that they work together to come up with solutions.”

Elsewhere during his interview with The Sunday Times, Washington also looked back at his career, admitting that not all of his movies were hits.

“After [1992’s] Malcolm X I made some real clunkers. Look them up — I won’t say their names,” Washington said. “They are all in the 1990s. But I was earning. I had responsibilities.”

While the actor didn’t specify which of his films he considered “clunkers,” some of the movies he starred in during that decade included Crimson Tide, Virtuosity, Much Ado About Nothing, He Got Game, The Pelican Brief, Devil in a Blue Dress,The Preacher’s Wife, Fallen and The Bone Collector, among others.

But Washington noted that he was prouder of his projects in the 2000s, which included Remember the Titans and Training Day.

“So, 2000 …” he pondered. “Well, in life, you learn, earn and then you return — as in give back. So if your life is 90 years long, up until 30 you learn and from 30 to 60 you earn. So in that era I was earning. With a great agent, my career built into making money and so the earning kicked in and then life also kicked in, with bills, four kids and a house.”









The comedy is The coli would bush him quicker for being a both sider than being a possible faggit :russ:
