Clint Eastwood is at it again.......and it just keeps getting better and better.....


Clint Eastwood thinks America’s “pussy generation” needs to “just f–ing get over” Donald Trump’s “racism.”

In an interview with Esquire published Wednesday, the actor/director/producer said young America — which he has dubbed both the “kiss-ass” and “pussy” generation — needs to stop calling things racist.

“[Trump’s] onto something, because secretly everybody’s getting tired of political correctness, kissing up,” he said. “We’re really in a pussy generation. Everybody’s walking on eggshells. We see people accusing people of being racist and all kinds of stuff. When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist.”

“When I grew up, those things weren’t called racist,”

That's because racism was every day normal when you grew up.

I still respect his work tho.

I like the "pussy" generation, and if that's supposed to be derogatory, I don't recognize it as such. I'd rather be a "pussy" than a dick. It's time for racist old white farts to STFU because their "good 'ol days" weren't good for most of us at all.

It's really sad when celebrities that you like reveal themselves to be racist, sexist assholes.

Same thing happened with Michael Richards, haven't watched a "Seinfeld" rerun since then.
