Noel is an Alabamian and a Southern nationalist who keeps the site Blood and Soil. Recently, he wrote an article entitled ‘The Outlaw Josey Wales & the Republican Convention.’ In this interview he talks about the attraction for Southerners to the film The Outlaw Josey Wales, things about the film that he now notices which turn him off, Clint Eastwood’s strange performance at the GOP convention in Tampa and what US politicians and talk-radio have in common with Hollywood.

I’m sorry, but I’m gonna give ol’ Clint a pass on this one….
I watched clips of him at the convention….
To me Clint is still “The Man”.
Every time I see him, he is still Rowdy Yates, Dirty Harry, the gunslinger, and the old vet in Grand Torino rolled into one.
He’s still that son of a migrant worker out in California…
His brand of humor and toughness is what I saw and still see out of my dad’s generation.
I’m glad society hasn’t nuetered (sp?) or muzzled Clint Eastwood.
He’s more man than any 10,000 of the ear-pierced tattooed sissies we see runnin’ around these days.
Heck, I may even write him in for president this year!
Good commentary.
Gran Torino was a film some said they thought had “race realism.” But why? In reality, Clint’s white family was portrayed as the worst kind of stereotypes about the superficial, money-grubbing selfish white people. the Hmong next door were his supposed “real family.” He locks up the kid to protect him, and goes on about his own confession/guilt trip about fighting Asian in a war. Then he not only leaves his prize possession to the Hmong (who had ripped him off, but hey, that’s just because he was misunderstood)— but also dies for him, in an end scene that is nuts: Clint lying on his back, arms out like Jesus, and bleeding in his palms, lol. He must literally sacrifice himself for the Hmong.
But just because it showed him being aware a little bit on a “street level” about different populations, this hideous film treatment of white people and white reality is supposed to be ok?
The subtext was incredibly anti-white.
I can’t stand Tat covered sissies…but Clint is Hollywood through. His movies portray whites in the worst ways. Million Dollar Baby..the hero was a black trainer the whites evil. Letters From Iwo Jima portrays white soldiers as evil and the Japs honorable. Grand Torino as already pointed out the same. Even the Dirty Harry films had all white bad guys. I still enjoy his fiction movies, but I still think he is a sell out. How many children through how many women does he have and from what I read he doesn’t pay child support on time either.
I guess I haven’t gone that deep with Clint.
Maybe I’m wrong, but I still like him.
Just my opinion.
Side note: Hate to say it, but in Million Dollar Baby I’ve seen some whites like those folks.
They come to school every day with expensive leather jackets, tats, state of the art cell phones, while their kids are on free and reduced lunch programs and are dressed in rags.
Sad.
I still like Clint as a director and actor for mindless entertainment, but I see his movies like all Hollywood movies as having to do their duty to their multi culture masters and make acceptable statements about evil whites. I know folks like that also, but I want to see movies done over and over about savage blacks, and rapist Mexicans which is the reality in huge percentages of those groups. In my area crime went through the roof after Hurricanes when the Mexican illegals came here for work. Instead, blacks and portrayed on T.V. and the movies as problem solvers, leaders, family men and etc.
The complete opposite of the reality. I make it a practice to never go to the movies or buy DVDS as I don’t want to support the Anti-Southern, Anti-white, Hollywood. I don’t think their portrayal of whites is a small deal. How do you think you got the Tat wearing thug element in the white race. They didn’t hardly exist when I was a child.
Mr. Revolt,
A lot of truth in what you say.
Again, sad.
Hey, speaking of Clint Eastwood, anyone out there see “Trouble With The Curve”?
Great movie!
