Sony Boss Dodges Racism Charges by Meeting with Racist

That always works.

Sony’s film division was hit by a major hack, probably carried out by Chinese hackers on behalf of North Korea over an upcoming movie mocking the Communist dictatorship. The hack included large amounts of personal emails, including some of Sony boss Amy Pascal and producer Scott Rudin, both liberals and Dem donors, joking about which black movies Obama would like.

In real life this is about as offensive as gravy. In liberalville though this is a huge outrage because you can’t suggest that a black person might like black movies. It’s in some unclear way racist.

So now comes the mandatory apology tour beginning with a meeting (and probably payoffs) to an actual violent racist.

Embattled Sony chief Amy Pascal is due to meet with the Rev. Al Sharpton in person in New York…

Pascal made a call to Sharpton late last week after racist e-mails between herself and producer Scott Rudin about President Obama and what movies he might like were revealed as part of sensitive information released by hackers.

Sharpton said to Page Six exclusively:

‘“I told her how offended I was, I felt it was outrageous. She said it didn’t reflect her [true feelings]. I told her when you look at the lack of diversity in Hollywood, and her own company and the context and language [of the e-mails], how could I not feel offended?”’

Let’s compare the dreaded racist emails to Sharpton’s words.

Pascal wrote Rudin: “What should I ask the president at this stupid Jeffrey breakfast?” She was referring to a breakfast hosted by DreamWorks Animation head and major Democratic donor Jeffrey Katzenberg.

Rudin, a top film producer responsible for films like No Country for Old Men and Moneyball, responded, “Would he like to finance some movies.”

Pascal replied, “I doubt it. Should I ask him if he liked DJANGO?” Rudin responded: “12 YEARS.” Pascal quickly continued down the path of guessing Obama preferred movies by or starring African Americans. “Or the butler. Or think like a man? [sic]”

Rudin’s response: “Ride-along. I bet he likes Kevin Hart.”

Here’s a sample of Sharpton’s genuinely racist rhetoric.

White folks was [sic] in caves while we were building empires…. We taught philosophy and astrology and mathematics before Socrates and those Greek homos ever got around to it.

“We will not stand by and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business.”

“If the Jews want to get it on, tell them to pin their yarmulkes back and come over to my house.”

So Sony wants to whitewash offensive comments by meeting and probably funding a real racist. This is liberalism in a nutshell.
