He was always one of my favourite Hollywood actors as a kid.
Remember one film he was a deep sea diver wearing one of these old suits the US Navy used with the air line.
He drowned at the end .. :-\

Not racist, just stating facts and reality.


(Fun fact: Wayne was impossible to work with for movie directors. He did not show up on the set until he was able to take a dump, mostly after 10 AM.
Once later than 1 PM he usually was to drunk to get work done and recordings for the day had to be stopped).

I have to be honest I’m 56 years old and like have one foot in the old Hollywood generation as a kid compared to now I never watched one movie with John Wayne and any way in its entirety. Never consider him anything that I want to watch. Clint Eastwood yes, early movies, dirty Harry stuff Paul Newman him I like to thought iwas a great actor, even George Kennedy lol but John Wayne never . I guess when I was a kid in the 70s all those actors that I mentioned were on their way out or old and just doing mop up roles , same I discover like Charlton Heston in the movies like earthquake and all those 70s sci-fi dramas he did so to me. Those were the movies I liked and thought oh wow they’re good actors so the stuff in the 40s and 50s is when they acted in their prime, I usually don’t watch those kind of movies

Actors of the Hollywood heyday had a mystery about them, they seemed special

Actors these days just sell themselves and dont care what roles they take, even resorting toi shitty TV commercials

I once read that he smoked 6 packs of cigarettes a day.You do the math on that and you had to basically have one going from the time you wake up till you went to sleep

I too know a guy like that, a heavy chain smoker.
To make matters worse he had a Goatee beard which was grey but because of the heavy smoking it looked like shit round his mouth.
His teeth were stained badly & he ended up losing most.
Was a minging c*nt anyway  :-X

Social media posts really exposed them as non exceptional. Same with athletes.

I'm still trying to figure out the "racist" part  ???

I'm trying to rehabilitate the term racist. John Wayne was a racist. But you invariably get guys saying he was no racist, or Trump isn't a racist, even here.
I better hope Wayne was a racist and that Trump is a racist. Racism today is the sin of noticing, noticing that race is real and that differences, whether positive or negative, exist, we aren't equal. Racism isn't necessarily about mistreating others.


n. 1. The belief that race accounts for differences in human character or ability and that a particular race is superior to others. 2. Discrimination or prejudice based on race.


And just the belief that race is a valid way to characterise people, that it's real. "There is only the human race!" If you claim otherwise, even if you're technically right, you are engaging in scientific racism and that is bad.

next time someone tells you they are not racist ask them what race they would rather be and why

See if they can tell you without making a claim that one race is superior to another
