GLOBES AND NO GLOVES OFF


Image result for picture of oprah and weinstein


Some people claim that Hollywood doesn’t get it; I disagree with that assessment; I’m sure they get it all right; they are just masters in deviating attention from the real issues and blaming someone else for their shortcomings and inherent weaknesses

Two or three times every year this crowd celebrates itself; they all dress their best attires and pat one another in the shoulder; they make millions poisoning our children and youths with tales of violence, revenge and sexism; they continue to cater to the narrative of a world that doesn’t exist even though when the time is right they are all too ready to remember their alleged humble origins.

Oprah’s speech at the Golden Globes was no exception; she chose the distant memory of Sidney Poitier’s award, the example of Rosa Parks and put it in a blender together with cases of sexual harassment and suppression of women’s right. The audience was ecstatic; Meryl Streep looked transfixed and triumphant; never mind the accusations of complicity aimed directly at her. It was the most hypocritical farce I have ever seen. Even worse than the charade politicians perform everyday throughout the world. Please find below a statement by one of Weinstein's accusers actress Kadian Noble: "British actress Kadian Noble said Tuesday she was head-over-heels impressed when she first met Weinstein at an event in London because he was hanging out with model Campbell and had megastar Oprah “swinging off his arm.”

In a perfect emulation of Fidel Castro Hollywood turned a serious reversal into a sounding victory; no acknowledgement of guilt, complicity; no self criticism. They acted (and act they did) as if they had been abroad for years and had come back to find that a few rotten apples had misbehaved. Disgusting!!!

Showbiz like any other environment is a closed community where everyone knows what everyone does. All these hypocrites had to know what Weinstein and so many others did. They looked the other way for decades and now give us this pathetic display of stupor and surprise. But this gang of self centered egomaniacs are not only complacent with the Weinsteins of the world, they contribute to the assiduous and tenacious deterioration of our culture with their violent unrealistic productions.

Oprah and her friends missed a “golden” opportunity of take their gloves off and look directly at reality’s ugly face. It is probably time to show these entertainers who pays for their performance and who they should, above all, serve.
