Meryl Streep's speech last night — Page 5

Saw this online and it's spot on to me...

“All of us in this room really belong to the most vilified segments in American society right now. Think about it: Hollywood, foreigners and the press,” ~Meryl Streep

One of the most babied people in the entired world (Actors) is complaining about being vilified. You can't make this sh*t up... She f**king sees herself as a victim. A famed Hollywood star is a god victim? Go f**k yourself.."

"4 pages and not a single comment about her being ignorant and thinking that she and Hollywood is better than the UFC."

Better than the UFC? Don't you know, they're better than everything in existence, including the sun, the moon, and the stars. They're all such paragons of wisdom, culture, and morality, why it's a privilege to be lectured by them. We're lucky they even deign to waste their precious insights on the likes of us. And you have the nerve to complain about them? For shame, you ingrate!

After Eight, you are a poor excuse for a human. The Mary, Mary world you crave to live in is long gone, never to return. You won't be happy until gays go back in the closet, African-Americans stay in the back of the bus, and women stay home barefoot and pregnant.

Yeh! A response, but only from a 'star' without a sense of humour as we muddle through the rights and wrongs of 'the speech'.

No wonder we LEGENDS are up where we belong.

Love Meryl to death, but she looked like she'd fallen through a stained glass window. She's one of those people that does not know how to dress herself. Whoopi's another one. They always look like their gowns were made by sofa upholsterers.

Ah, let's not put words in Meryl's mouth. She said Hollywood was teeming with "outsiders" and "foreigners" who, if kicked out, would leave us nothing to watch but Football and MMA. Aside from the fact that she was obviously making a joke, I didn't infer a specific racist reference.

Who knew MMA prez Scott Coker would be such a sensitive snowflake? He needs to find his safe space!

Bravo to Meryl Streep for being a true artist and speaking up for what she believes in, in such a classy way. Judging from the comments that I'm seeing from so many people, I guess we now live in a society where you will be personally berated by the President of the United States on Twitter, which is hilariously ridiculous.

You are right Hork but I think you may have missed it when I said above I did not know alot about MMA.

I was commenting on how its hypocrite to complain about lack of diversity while bashing an indusrry that is very diverse. At the same time many minorities are very fed up her industry is so white. Or maybe this kind of diversity is beneath her. I do not pretrbd to know. Look up #oscarssowhite if you think I am making this up. So your broccoli statement is not fir this.

I can't believe I'm going down this rabbit hole, but here goes. Okay, first of all, MMA is not an industry based on hiring. It can't help but be diverse. Second of all, it's irrelevant. Being diverse doesn't give it a free pass from jokes being made about it. Thirdly, Meryl Streep has nothing to do with the film industry being white. She's not a producer or a casting agent. I feel like you don't understand what hypocrisy is. I'm not saying it was a great joke, but it was harmless and, as far as MMA goes, meaningless.

I despise Donald Trump and his disgusting supporters, and agree completely with Streep's words at the Golden Globes.

That being said, there's this:

The fact that Streep did not protest bombing in the Middle East is not hypocritical with her statement about Trump. In order to call her a hypocrite, you need to find examples where she is on the opposite sides of the topics in her statement, such as disabled rights, immigration, etc.

. Meryl didnt seem to mind Mr Obama mocking disabled in this famous clip. She and the Democratic NewsMedia gave him a total pass.
