Leonardo DiCaprio pledges to 'end the disenfranchisement of Black America'

By DAVID LAWRANCE

 

Bold statement: On Thursday, Leonardo DiCaprio threw his star power behind the battle to end racial disparity in America

 

As well as being an A-list actor, he's also a passionate activist.

 

And on Thursday, Leonardo DiCaprio threw his star power behind the battle to end racial disparity in America, in the 45-year-old's first apparent statement on the Black Lives Matter protests sweeping the United States.

 

'I commit to listen, learn and take action,' read the Academy Award winning actor's bold statement on the matter, posted to his Instagram account. 

 

DiCaprio's caption elaborated: 'I commit to listen, learn and take action. I am dedicated to end the disenfranchisement of Black America, that has been present for too long.'

Very big of you Leo but the rest of the world has also been watching and although we deplore the manner of your hero’s death, we also despise the destruction, looting and murders we’ve just witnessed in your hero’s name.

 What does this really mean? He will be in blackface for his next movie?

[Denim]

I think the native American Indians could use the help while you're at it .

 

I'm glad I'm not in the UK now.

 

Too much conformity to keep up with. Now you have to kneel outside your house whilst clapping at the same time  keeping 2 meters away from everyone and practice incest when you go indoors. Hard to keep track of it all.

Ooooh! Another entrant in the 2020 virtue signaling Olympics! Exciting!

WTH does this even mean?  Leo will hire 10 more cabana boys this year?  Most don't even know why they are protesting.

Let him rebuild the burnt out buildings and repay the shopkeepers that were robbed by his black lives matter buddies. 

Help the families of innocent murdered citizens killed as a consequence of the riots, looting, arson and robberies.

That's probably done by a small number of people.

 

The cops are also going around beating just about everyone.

What do you mean 'we', I've always enjoyed watching news of cities burning ..... especially when they're a long way away.

You want to help black people, find a way to stop them rioting. They are destroying their own communities, putting their own people out of work.

They were much better off before the riots. All they'll get from what they are doing is an even more dysfunctional relationship with authorities and virtue signalling from white liberals.

Mr. Leo,Near far where ever you are ,you mention to listen!

“A BLACK woman whose store was trashed and looted during George Floyd protests slammed rioters and called the Black Lives Matter movement a lie”.

Well dont be jealous because that isnt his yacht. He doesnt own one.

[Jingthing]

Good sentiments that all people of good will should support but I find the wording kind of odd. He's gonna do it, is he? Sounds like he has an ego the size of the Titanic.

When is it deemed the disenfranchisement will come to an end.  4th February 2025, 25th of never?  I wish DiCaprio would narrow it down a bit, otherwise it's meaningless babble.  

[sirineou]

Way ti go Leo,! When are you joining the Police force?

[HeijoshinCool]

.

 

Barf....

[baansgr]

Maybe he could start by apologising the Laroche family were not included in the movie Titanic...that may help to quell all this rioting...or at least give him an ego boost

[cyril sneer]

good grief

 

these celebrities should really keep quiet, these actors should have listened to Ricky Gervais

[BobBKK]

All of this is the fault of the pc liberals who seek division by identity. We are all humans, black, white or yellow and identify a group, race or gender causes division. A united humanity will heal a divided one will kill.

You brought up the elephant in the room. The native Americans have had it far worse than blacks, but no protests for them. Probably because if one acknowledges their existence one has to accept that one is living on land stolen from a people that were almost exterminated by the settlers, and continue to live in appalling conditions.

It should be compulsory in every American school to read Bury my heart in Wounded Knee.

[thaibeachlovers]

Perhaps Leo should apologise for acting the part of a slave owner in a movie not so long ago then. Not a good and kind slave owner either- a really bad one.

Have you personally witnessed "cops beating just about everyone"? Seems an impossibility to watch every cop and every person demonstrating. Your post lacks merit on that alone.

He’ll probably be playing George Floyd in his next movie!

All these rich white folk supporting are just scared that they’ll be next.

[Catoni]

Is this the same Leonardo DiCaprio who is a Hollywood actor and Climate Change Expert who parties on huge yachts, has three or four mansions and a Manhattan penthouse and jets all over the world all the time ? ?  Just wondering.

Yes, I have a much read copy of that book within my eyesight right now and totally agree with you. Should be part of the American national curriculum . Tell the Indians about MAGA.

Not quite true, some of them are getting nice 60" high def TV sets for free, along with many other luxury goods ????
