Weinstein protected by Lorne Michaels. [View all]

Just read on Decider that Lorne Michaels cut all jokes about Weinstein on last week's SNL. When asked why, he said, "It's a New York thing." This is what I mean by Weinstein having power over ALL media. These men look out for each other. On another coast Quentin Tarantino was asked about Weinstein (a close friend) and he said, "You have to take the good with the bad." It is going to take so much longer for change. Hopefully this is a beginning.

White male privilege on the left HopeAgain Oct 2017 #12

Hypocrisy is an equal-opportunity sin PJMcK Oct 2017 #14

In these cases, the privilege seems more "male" than "white" whathehell Oct 2017 #15

Michael's quote is out of context PJMcK Oct 2017 #13
