Clint Eastwood on Donald Trump’s Racism: ‘Just F—ing Get Over It’

The Wrap

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 throwing the word “racist” around so freely.

“[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.”

However, that seems to be the only thing in common between me and Clint.

He's getting pretty darn old and curmudgeonly. Seems to be a thing... people get this way at the end of their lives sometimes. I hope I'm not like this when I'm old. I'm going to try my best... but maybe I'll have no control and just lose my mind. It is happening to my dad. He is a Hillary supporter at least, but geeze I can barely stand to be around him these days. He loses his temper so easily over little things that no one should.

Get OVER it?

"When I grew up, those things weren't called racist."

Earth to asshole. They may not have been CALLED racist by anyone HE knew, but they were STILL FUCKING RACIST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When HE was growing up segregation was still a thing and use of the N word describe a human being was normal.

He makes me fucking sick. I can't stand him or his evil rhetoric. If he wants to see a pussy, he should look in the fucking mirror. He's a miserable old fuck.
