His remarks weren't even extreme. This is some serious censorship by a giant company that controls a lot of our culture. And their star lead actor isn't allowed to point out racism in our culture?

Who decided to censor DeNiro and why?

And, listening to him was a thing of beauty. Who thought they could take the mic from one of America's finest, most seasoned actors? Boy did they miscalculate.
