Marlon Brando rejected his Oscar for Best Actor for "The Godfather". He instead sent Sacheen Little feather to talk about the poor representation of Native Americans in Cinema...
So then, later in the broadcast Clint Eastwood says, " I don't know if I should present this award on behalf of all the cowboys shot in John Ford Westerns..." Haha. Savage.
Sadly, in 2018, if an actor said this, they would be crucified by the media as "insensitive".

Clint's gone on to become an Academy favourite, honoured throughout the world.

Sacheen Littlefeather appeared in Playboy not long after this, presumably to underscore the poor representation of Native Americans in girly mags.

Not long after the Academy Awards, Brando gave a tract of land to a Native American group. Shortly thereafter, Johnny Carson quipped, "Unfortunately, John Wayne donated adjacent land to the Cavalry."
Today, anyone making a remark like that would be skewered, even though the butt of the joke isn't Native Americans, it's John Wayne. People just want to skewer these days.

This makes the story even better. |

Abridged thread: white men are so oppressed these days.
People still make race jokes, especially when the butt of the joke are racists themselves. Give me a break.

Didn't Wayne marry a Mexican woman?
I bet the Brando stunt was planned and approved. As if she just walked in there without anyone knowing why she was sent.
They did the same nonsense with politics that they do today, but obviously demographics were different and communist infiltration was less obvious.

You were born in the wrong century and decade. The "Red Menace" was three-quarters of a century ago and the Commie Hunters have been reveled as the un-American bad guys who tried to stifle their political opponents: sort of like conservatives today are doing. |

The "Red Menace" was three-quarters of a century ago and the Commie Hunters have been reveled as the un-American bad guys who tried to stifle their political opponents: sort of like conservatives today are doing. The commies won WW 2. The McCarthy stuff was just a last gasp to try and prevent the takeover of the US. As Soviet defector Bezmenov said, the US infiltration had begun decades earlier--(probably when they let them in after 1905 in massive numbers).
There is no rightwing political movement now. Its either Left globalist or right globalist. This is why variety in movie theme has disappeared. All the movie companies including United Artists which was originally meant to be an alternative to the Eastern European studios are now fully Left/Communist/Globalist/Old Testament--whatever you want to call it.
