I thought Million Dollar Baby was great and Eastwood was great in it.

It’s my understanding that John Wayne was an anti-Native American bigot, but I liked him in True Grit (but not nearly as much in the secret flop sequel, False Grease. ;-p).

He also said this about black people:

With a lot of blacks, there’s quite a bit of resentment along with their dissent, and possibly rightfully so. But we can’t all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of the blacks. I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.
