He's right

Shame he makes amazing movies though.

From Spaghetti westerns through Dirty Harry to Million Dollar Baby and Gran Torino. Amazing what that guy did.

Oh and there are some funny twitter reactions to this starting with "In 1930s" or "When Eastwood was born" or something like.

He was a wonderful actor and director and Leone was a truly great director.

Doesn't stop him being a complete jerk on politics, but then why go to actors for political advice?

A FEW PEOPLE?! Like the comment he made about the mother of the soldier that died in war and said "shes not speaking because her religion doesnt let her".

when she was simply over whelmed by the over-life size posters of her dead son that she thought if she spoke she would break down into tears.

I dont know ANYONE who didn't think that was absolutely horrible! When i heard that on the radio i was absolutly agasht!

Eastwood is right. Right now what we have is a generation of women who don't know how to act like women, and men who don't know how to be men.

"Back in my day weren't so politically correct" Back in your day you got pissy if a black person sat in the front of the bus, or drank from the white only drinking fountain.

Also, just because you say whats on your mind doesn't make you right or presidential material.

He comes from an era where white people would have a cry if a black person sat on the wrong bus. He's an idiot.

He does seem like a racist to be fair.However I think people should be allowed to say whatever they want short of inciting violence.If you begin to control what people can and cant say then how long is it until you're not allowed to even think certain things.Its totalitarian.

I mean... he did direct a film which basically illustrates why racism is really stupid... so I kinda doubt that.

Somebody has been triggered by an observation from an actor from a state that never practised Jim Crow.

Popular speech does not need protection, unpopular speech does. Unfortunately the west is abandoning this basic humanistic principle in favour of self censorship and the entitlement to feel offended.

Cultural relativism and self censorship will inevitabely lead to regression. This is not some sort of conspiracy theory, this is a sociological fact.

There's no set requirement to be a proper man or a woman.Its not like you have to pass a test to be a proper man or woman.Men who cry are still men and Ive never understood why men shouldnt cry.If you cry when you sad then you're a human.Thats what humans do and to pretend that men dont have emotions is stupid and is probably why the suicide rate is so high.
