Leslie David Baker from The Office received sickening racist rant
Racism Score: 5.3
No Stanley slander, ever! Leslie David Baker, best known for his role as Stanley Hudson on “The Office” was met with vile racist attacks. Baker launched a Kickstarter campaign to fund a pilot for “Uncle Stan”, which is a spin-ff from “The Office.” Look at some of the vicious tirade’s he received.
But wait, there’s more.
Hudson had the following to say:
“You cannot fight racism and combat those types of stereotypical attitudes if you pretend that they don’t exist,” he says. “All too often in America, people have been so concerned about being made to feel uncomfortable, because they aren’t confronted by racist behavior.”
“It’s not riding down the street in the hood with the burning cross, but instead it’s been replaced with the new technology,” he said. “We think that the old photographs that we see of people being persecuted on the way to school in the South and trying to vote in the ’60s, we think that all of those people have died out. They haven’t died out. They got married. They had children. They had grandchildren, great grandchildren. But they took those beliefs with them, and in many cases, they have not altered those beliefs.”
Those people should be ashamed of themselves. We are with you, Leslie! Can’t wait to see the pilot!
