Having a senior moment, Jon?
Woah WOAH…who let grandpa out of his room? And who the fuck taught him how to make videos and use twitter. WTF PEOPLE.
The holocaust is the real old wounds?
Emmett Till was after the holocaust.
Wait, What? I thought it was about video games being evil this week…

CHRIST WHAT AN ASSHOLE
Christ, what an everyday white supremacist!
Using his own daughter against him. Nice touch.
Oh, great - another washed-up actor showing his Trump cred. I would say he doesn’t know a damned thing, but that would be redundant.
Nobody give’s a crap what Voight says or thinks - except Trump and his racist Republican (I know, redundant) supporters.
It would be dumb enough for a modern teenager with an overly romanticized notion of the Civil Rights movement to say racism had been ended by their “forefathers,” but Jon Voight was nearly 30 years old when Martin Luther King Jr. was assassinated.
What a coincidence. Michael Richards also had “a message for the black community” that nobody needed.
Oh man, better not let Michael Richards bite you or you’ll become a bigot too.
Jon’s right, the Jewish community has totally gotten over and is in no way angry about the holocaust. Their forefathers solved that.
Well, that’s a relief! Here I was thinking it was still a thing, and becoming more normalized and brutal every day since November 2016. Thank you, Jon, for setting me straight!
Honestly i’m not going to give my reaction to something like this. The statement is willfully ignorant and condescending, i think the stupidity of Voight’s statement speaks for itself.
