Hollywood White Guilt Meets Its Maker

The Motion Picture Academy’s rapid over-response to being charged with racism by Spike Lee and Jada Pinkett Smith was to abruptly announce a plan to affirmative action up the joint. That meant some white inherently evil people had to go. The Academy fucked up when they picked on old people to take the pink slips. Old people are the most powerful force in the universe. Just ahead of amazing looking women who are total cunts. Old people have time to piss and moan and vote in one hundred percent of elections. They are inherently emboldened by being a demographic everybody will someday join. The same can’t be said for black. That’s not your future if it’s not your present.

Patricia Resnick isn’t just older, she’s a woman, and a lesbian, and she wrote 9 to 5 back in the 80’s and the Academy is booting her out to make way for fake progress. You fucked up this time, guilty rich white people. Check your fucking protected class boxes. Resnick says she’s angry and ashamed of the Academy for replacing racism with ageism because everybody hates an ism when it comes to their doorstep.

White Privilege still feels like a work in progress. You know you hate yourself for being better off than the guy who comes to clean your pool, but you can’t throw old lesbians out on the street to feel whole again. This might be the time to consult your one black friend who’s really just a guy you worked with once and doesn’t remember your name. Developing hardline positions entirely from emotions of the moment used to be reserved for infants. Consider growing the fuck up and changing your own diaper.
