I really feel bad for Angelina Jolie's children

and I honestly don't think I can watch another Jon Voight movie. He used to be one of my favorite actors.

But the stupidity and ignorance is very strong in him. There's no redemption. He will never get it.

Jon Voight Declares Racism 'Solved' And People Are FuriousJon Voight drew ire online after he declared in a video on Twitter that racism in the United States “has been solved long ago by our forefathers.”

In the video, which the actor shared over the weekend, he also claimed that President Donald Trump is “not a racist, but a man who loves his country and has every intention to make this land great again.”

Voight, 80, lamented how “too many are angered at the words of racism,” which had been “a big issue for the black community since the Civil War, but this has been solved long ago by our forefathers for peace and love.”

“It seems that the angered left and angered minorities want to hold President Trump accountable for past lives,” added the “Ray Donovan” star, who used a similar clip last month to hail Trump has “the greatest president.”

That said, I think that is the one true benefit to Brad with the end of his marriage.

in a book he wrote, saying he saw there was something very wrong with Angelina even as a teenager and how she dishonored her father.

Too strange.

When in fact they wrote a document supposedly for "liberty" and "freedom" for all, meanwhile they were all slave owners.

Some, no doubt, treated them quite harshly and callously.

This dichotomy has existed in this country since before it's official existence as a county.

Just some perspective.
