CNN has published an opinion piece insisting that the movie Joker is a racist “validation of white-male resentment” and an endorsement of Trump’s rise to power.
Yes, really.
“While many reviewers have focused on Fleck as an “incel” hero — his status as a sexless loner who turns to violence — the true nature of the movie’s appeal is actually broader: It’s an insidious validation of the white-male resentment that helped bring President Donald Trump to power,” writes Jeff Yang.
“Joker,” at its core, is the story of the “forgotten man,” the metaphoric displaced and disenfranchised white man whose goodwill has been abused and whose status has been reduced. A man who has been crushed underfoot by the elite, dragged down by equality-demanding feminists and climbed over by upstart nonwhite and immigrant masses.”
The true appeal of the new "Joker" movie lies in its invidious validation of the white-male resentment that helped bring President Trump to power, writes Jeff Yang for @CNNOpinionhttps://t.co/WcLJUAJ7Zb
Yang’s primary reason for asserting that the movie is subtly racist is because the main character lives with his mother in a run-down apartment block populated by nonwhite tenants.
His other reason is that in the opening scene, Joker is beat up by “black and Latinx youth.” The fact that the same character also receives a beat down from a group of white man and later a punch in the face from another white man seems to have slipped Yang’s mind.
If the movie is a “validation of white-male resentment” and has some kind of racist undertone, as Yang is suggesting, it’s somewhat odd that all the characters Joker murders during the film are white.
That also doesn’t explain why he is keen on entering into a mixed-race relationship with a black single mom.
The notion that the film is pro-Trump is also ludicrous given that one of Joker’s main enemies in the plot – Thomas Wayne – is a Trump-like figure.
Throughout the movie, the Joker character also repeatedly asserts that he is not political, but the need insert “orange man bad” into absolutely everything was seemingly too tempting for Yang to resist.
It reads like he wrote his idiotic piece before he even saw the film.
“The magic of the Joker movie is it’s portrayal of people who are treated as trash by the media & elite, ignored as they wither away from their pain & problems, & are laughed at as jokes until they snap from losing everything,” wrote one respondent to the CNN piece. “It’s not hard to see why you’re “scared” of it.”

Multimillionaire celebrity James Corden says he is suffering “anxiety” due to being self-isolated over the coronavirus.
Corden lives in an 8,609 square feet $10 million dollar L.A. mansion which is located on a 20,000 square foot estate with a massive garden and swimming pool.
Most people would love to be quarantined in there for a month.
A new BBC drama series set in London depicts a “dystopian” alternate society where blacks are slavemasters and whites are slaves.
The show, which features controversial ‘woke’ rapper Stormzy, is called Noughts & Crosses and is based on a series of novels by Malorie Blackman.
The plot showcases “an alternative history in which African people had gained a technological and organisational advantage over the European people, rather than the other way around.”
In the narrative, slavery has been legally abolished but segregation remains in place, with crosses (dark-skinned people) being forbidden from having romantic relationships with noughts (lighter-skinned people).
White characters are subservient to and serve black characters, white characters have their names mispronounced and band aids are all brown colored.
“At this point why don’t Netflix and the BBC and all the other leftist media outlets simply make a film or series called ” we hate white people”. It would be so much more honest,” one person commented on YouTube.
The trailer for the show depicts white people as angry mobs of violent young men.
“The things he [Callum] goes through particularly in school happened to me, like asking my teachers where the black scientists were on the curriculum and being told there weren’t any,” said Blackman. “Or my first time in first class on a train and being accused of stealing the ticket.”
While hiding behind “diversity,” the show will merely further enflame resentment and division between whites and non-whites.
“This comes at a time when white actors have been increasingly denied roles, historical roles being handed to minorities thus sacrificing authenticity, and with the BBC having been known to discriminate against white job applicants in the past,” reports National File.
The series is also yet another opportunity for the BBC to fulfil diversity quotas by employing a mostly black cast.
This despite the fact that a new survey of the British television industry by Creative Diversity Network found that BAME [Black and Minority Ethnic] on-screen representation stands at 23 per cent, significantly above the 14 per cent BAME population of the United Kingdom.
Boxer Deontay Wilder blamed his ‘Black History Month’ outfit for losing his WBC title to Britain’s Tyson Fury on Saturday night.
In their highly anticipated rematch, Fury defeated Wilder in the 7th round after a flurry of punches that prompted Wilder’s corner to throw in the towel.
After the fight, Wilder said he had “no excuses” for the defeat, but now blames his ringwalk costume, worn as a tribute to Black History Month, for being too heavy.
Wilder wore a 40-pound armored cape and headgear into the ring but said it sapped his energy before the match even begun.
“Fury didn’t hurt me at all, but the simple fact is that my uniform was way too heavy for me,” said Wilder.
Deontay Wilder nailing the perfect one-two boxing cliché here.
Step One: Tell the ringside interviews that there are no excuses, the better man won on the night.
“I didn’t have no legs from the beginning of the fight – in the third round, my legs were just shot all the way through. I was only able to put it on (for the first time) the night before but I didn’t think it was going to be that heavy. I wanted it to be good and I guess I put that before anything,” he added.
Wilder made a point of highlighting Black History Month in interviews before the fight.
“They picked the wrong month for this fight to happen,” Wilder told DAZN News. “When I knock ‘The Gypsy Queen’ out, he’ll become a Black History Month trivia question.”
Wilder ended up getting totally dominated by Fury. I guess the trivia question will have to wait.
