Jack White Slams ‘Disgusting’ Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson and More for Interacting With ‘Fascist, Racist, Piece of S—‘ Donald Trump

Jack White is taking aim at celebrities such as Mark Wahlberg and Mel Gibson for “normalizing” Donald Trump by meeting him at public events. The two actors, along with Joe Rogan and Guy Fieri, were photographed interacting with Trump at the UFC 290 event in Las Vegas over the weekend. White shared photos of the interactions on his Instagram account while calling out the four men.

“Anybody who ‘normalizes’ or treats this disgusting fascist, racist, con man, disgusting piece of shit Trump with any level of respect is ALSO disgusting in my book,” White wrote in his post. “That’s you Joe Rogan, you Mel Gibson, you Mark Wahlberg, you Guy Fieri. This is a statement from me, not a discussion/debate. -Jack White III”

1. ya can't be a real xtian and vote for trump nt

[Sky Jewels]

10. Oh, sure you can. Christianity is all about preserving the patriarchy, just like Donnie.

Both of Christianity's main deities are male (fictional) characters. Gee, what a coincidence that the Christian mythologies were made up by primitive, male-dominated societies.

[whathehell]

33. Lol..Certainly no more so than Judaism and Islam, or,

for that matter, Society in General.

[Sky Jewels]

42. I agree. All major religions suck.

They're all a steaming pile of patriarchal bullshit, and, yes, they reflect society because they were made up by the dominant members of society to further their male superiority agendas and allow the few to control the many.

[whathehell]

70. Yes, all major religions have patriarchal origins, but

so do all the major institutions in society. Government, Law, Religion -- They ALL began under a patriarchy. That said, one can hardly think in so binary a fashion as to conclude them all failures for that reason...Would they be better if women were equally represented?..Yes, of course, but that doesn't make them completely worthless as is..

[Gore1FL]

22. Oddly, being a christian has very little to do with follow the words of their personal savior.

Ultimately, being Christian simply requires believing they have a personal savior in Jesus.

[whathehell]

34. No, that's an Evangelical interpretation

It's not that of mainstream Christians, who far outnumber the Fundamentalist snd Evangelicals.

[Gore1FL]

47. I was raised Lutheran and rejected it around 30. "Justification by Faith" is what we were taught.

Lutheranism is mainstream as far as I know.

[whathehell]

51. My husband was raised Lutheran

so I'll talk to him about it..He did distinguish between what he called "crackpot" synods and the one he was raised in, so I'll ask about that. I was raised Catholic, also mainstream, and there is definitely no "Justification by Faith" with them.

[markodochartaigh]

60. I realize that there is "no true Scotsman" however,

it appears that the majority of protestants self-identify as evangelical. Of course, especially in religion, everyone has their own definition which they are absolutely certain is the truth.

[lambchopp59]

58. And the instant empowerment syndrome that comes with that

I knew of some real sick fux who believed they can be criminally reprehensible because Jeebus forgives. High school was a special hell due to these entitled creeps. (relatives of the Westboro cretins)

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

73. Let's also not forget that their demigod

Say--and does--some seriously cruel and awful things.

Of course, they'd have to read the book to know that, and very few of them ever have.

[ExWhoDoesntCare]

72. Yeah, you can.

And it's hateful to say that they can't. Christians can be bad people, too.

Stop thinking that not-christians are the only immoral people.

Because we're not.

[tulipsandroses]

2. Well, Mel Gibson was canceled for a bit after his bigoted tirade

So no surprise he pals around with chump and Roger Stone.

Wahlberg has his own bigoted past. He was arrested twice for hate crimes. He’s tried to present himself as an evolved person, but maybe not as evolved as he wants us to believe???

[Aristus]

3. I was thinking that cozying up to Trump was pretty much on-brand for Wahlberg.

It's weird that Boston can be so progressive and so racist at the same time.

[Cha]

14. That's too bad.. trump is Not just "racist"

though.. he's a fucking Traitor to the USA.

Fuck Off Mark Walhberg .. I remember reading about him being Racist against Vietnamese a long time ago.. but hadn't read anything bad about him since.

And, Now this.

[Orrex]

25. Marky Mark recently jumped on the "boo hoo I'm a persecuted Xian" bandwagon, too

That kind of bullshit is red meat for racist evangelical sheep, so Marky Mark's statement is basically an investment in his career.

Kind of like how Caviezel is golden for life after portaying The Divine Mr. Passion "despite Hollywood's strong anti-Xian bias" blah blah blah.

[Cha]

41. Oh NO.. That's Just GASLIT BULLSHIT!

I would think Marky's whine about being falsely "persecuted for being Xtian" would have the opposite Effect on his "career".. bc Hollywood on the whole is Liberal Dem and they appreciate Diversity.

Sounds like he wants a whole lot of evangelicals to come see his movies.

I won't be anymore.

I used to watch Shooter on Amazon Prime and liked it.. no more.

[Orrex]

52. An article circulated a couple months back...

the lead pic was Marky with his Ash Wednesday smudge, and it reported his idea (lately popular among Conservative movie people, that Hollywood is hostile to Xians.

Two things about this:

1. They play this card as a rallying cry to a hard-right target audience
2. In all the world you will find no group more desperate to believe itself persecuted than Conservative Christians.

You can kind of see their point; other than all three branches of government at the local, state & federal level, along with most of the media, the media, and a number of major corporations, what control do these poor, beleaguered souls really have?

[Danmel]

31. I lived in Boston for 3 years

It was in the 80s so maybe it's evolved but as a Nrw Yorker, i was shocked and appalled by how racist Boston was at the time. Everyone knew what part of town they could live in. Blacks in Dorchester and Roxbury, Italians in the North End, the Irish in Southie, Jewish people outside the city limits in Brookline and Newtown and the WASPS in the back bay.
It was one of the reasons I came back to NY after graduation- that and the number of Red Sox fans.

[SheilaAnn]

4. OMG I read the title too fast and thought it was Jack Smith. Whew!

[tavernier]

30. Me too

[whathehell]

35. Me three..

[Cha]

44. & I was thinking of Jack Black so your

post made me go back and see who jack White is.

I remember him now.. he of the White Stripes.

Good to know he's such an Activist for our Democracy!

Just a big bucket of suck all around.

[calimary]

62. I like how you put that! "Just a big bucket of suck all around"!

VERY well said, Sky Jewels. AND well-deserved!

[SouthernDem4ever]

8. Gibson has been on the shitlist forever

I'll add Wahlberg to it.

[ShazzieB]

Figures. I knew there was a reason I can't stand that guy!

[ProfessorGAC]

15. Now that was a serious collection of DumbFucks in one location.

[AmBlue]

16. Hats off to JACK!!

This SO needs to be said by celebrities and people everywhwre with visibility and name recognition.

[clouds]

17. When did Jack White gain a conscience?

I mean, happy he has grown up a bit. . But it wasn’t very long ago he was just a primadonna bully. I like his music and miss his sisters kick ass drumming.

[demmiblue]

53. His ex-wife, not his sister. n/t

[rockfordfile]

19. Never heard of Jack White. But if what they did is true, then yes they're a pos.

[BigmanPigman]

23. The White Stripes.

He also works with tons of other musicians like the late Loretta Lynn. Good, basic rock and roll. He plays, records, writes, produces...he does it all!

[Rebl2]

28. Neither have I

[FakeNoose]

66. He's a talented musician, but not so well-known

... because he has jumped around in different bands over the years. I believe he has also put out a few albums under his own name, but it wasn't big news. Jack White is more of a "musician's musician."

On the other hand he has appeared on Saturday Night Live several times, so he gets around.

[Haggis 4 Breakfast]

20. Was caught off-guard by the Mark Wahlburg connection.

[NickB79]

32. Same

[Alexander Of Assyria]

40. Clicked the link. Saw the Insta post. What's the latest evidence free big deal again?

I am not convinced of the outrage.

[birdographer]

56. Me too

Kind of disappointed, I have liked some of his movies. A little sorry to find out just how stupid he is.

[Sky Jewels]

65. He's always been a violent, racist prick.

I despise that mfer.

[oldsoftie]

21. Still cant figure out Dana White doing it

HE's an actual businessman & deals with all kinds of people all the time. He's also LOADED so he doesnt need any money from trump

[2live is 2fly]

26. Jack White musical guest on SNL's Sat (7/8/23) show. All repeats sched til writers strike ends.

[Cha]

46. TY!

[EnergizedLib]

27. Martin Riggs was far cooler than his portrayer

I'll just leave it at that.

[ismnotwasm]

29. He is absolutely correct

[Laura PourMeADrink]

36. Pardon me for asking but have never heard of Jack White

[Laura PourMeADrink]

38. Duh. Up to speed. Brilliant comments!!!

[Niagara]

37. I love Jack White!

Not only is his talent phenomenal, but he's been speaking out against facist and racist behavior for years.


Also his cover of Dolly Parton's "Jolene" is freaking amazing!!


I love you, Jack!!

[Laura PourMeADrink]

39. Wow would love to hear that!

[Niagara]

54. It's my pleasure to introduce you to this rendition, Laura PourMeADrink.

Enjoy!

[Cadfael]

48. I always suspected as much about Mr. Fieri

[WarGamer]

50. never heard of him before...

So I googled... and I like his song "Seven Nation Army".

[sarcasmo]

55. Jack White has always been the man.

[geardaddy]

57. Well, Wahlberg has a history of racist behavior

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mark_Wahlberg#Legal_issues

In June 1986, a 15-year-old Wahlberg and three friends chased after three black children while yelling "Kill the nigger, kill the nigger" and throwing rocks at them.[17] The next day, Wahlberg and the others followed a group of mostly black fourth-graders (including one of the victims from the previous day) taking a field trip on a beach, yelled racial epithets, threw rocks at them, and "summoned other white males who joined" in the harassment.[17][18] In August 1986, civil action was filed against Wahlberg for violating the civil rights of his victims, and the case was settled the next month.[19][20][21]

Wahlberg perpetrated another racist assault in April 1988. Then 16, he assaulted a middle-aged Vietnamese-American man on the street, calling him a "Vietnam fucking shit" and knocking him unconscious with a large wooden stick. Later the same day, Wahlberg attacked Johnny Trinh, another Vietnamese-American, punching him in the eye. When Wahlberg was arrested and returned to the scene of the first assault, he told police officers: "I'll tell you now that's the mother-fucker whose head I split open."[22] Later, Wahlberg would explain that he was on PCP at the time.[23] Investigators also noted that Wahlberg "made numerous unsolicited racial statements about 'gooks' and 'slant-eyed gooks'".[24][25] Wahlberg was charged with attempted murder, pleaded guilty to felony assault, and was sentenced to two years in jail, but served only 45 days of his sentence.[24][26] Wahlberg believed he had left the second victim permanently blind in one eye, though Trinh later said that he had lost his eye during the Vietnam War while serving in the South Vietnamese army, which fought alongside American forces.[27][21][24][25]

[Elessar Zappa]

63. Damn, I didn't know he had that history.

What an asshole.

[geardaddy]

71. Yep, and he wanted a damn pardon from the gov of Mass

Creep

[markodochartaigh]

59. I was so disappointed in Guy Fieri. n/t

[Sky Jewels]

64. I always had such a gut-level dislike of that unbearably annoying asshole,

and this certainly did not do anything to lessen that feeling.

[markodochartaigh]

67. You have better people reading skills than I do.

He wasn't someone I would have liked "to have a beer with", but I enjoyed seeing the small restaurants that he would visit.

[Sky Jewels]

69. Well, in this case, yes.

But I used to like Bill Cosby and Kevin Spacey, so I’ve got some work to do on my judgement.
