I grew up during the civil rights movement Blacks didn't have access to the same education as,white students. I remember one black child saying how thrilled he was to have a new textbook..before that they were given old worn out text books. So I think John Wayne's comments meant whites should be in charge until Blacks had the opportunity to better themselves with a good education.

Woody Strode was a very good actor but he never got a lead role. He played Wayne's servant, and he played a racist role in The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. No one made him do that. He got paid well for it. Hollywood as a whole was racist for many years. As for being anti-homosexual, That is not a bad thing because it is sickening. We should not treat anyone bad but a person never has to say it is okay.

The piece on James Stewart basically calls him a racist because one actor apparently thought he did something racist (no specifics on what) on the set of one movie. That’s pretty thin to put it mildly. He was very Conservative- and proudly so - and Henry Fonda was a lifelong friend despite being very Liberal and proudly so. They both said the secret was that they didn’t talk politics. So I think you need a lot more evidence to claim all this about James Stewart.
I know right!? All because of 1 actor made an accusation, and We have no idea what it was. His military career, and being a general officer in the US Air Force wasn’t even mentioned. If he was racist it would of been discovered.
Oh give me a break…I’m sure you don’t believe Black people and minorities if they say they experienced racism today as well. The video would be too long if he explained it. It’s a simple google search to find out what Stewart said on that set to the Black actor.

James Stewart grew up in Indiana, Pennsylvania and not a “Small town in Indiana” as stated in your video. Isn’t your site named Facts Verse? I wonder what else you have incorrect in your video if you can’t get that basic fact, which is pretty easy to find, accurate.
Beat me to it. I am a Hoosier and caught that error immediately. I wonder how many "facts" they have slipped by us that were just as wrong that we didn't catch. They should demonetize this site if they are this sloppy with the facts.
That one fact was incorrect however, he was shot on with those actors being racist. There are other videos out there about this. Especially James Stewart and John Wayne. Jimmy use to use the n word all the time. They skipped old Walt Disney. He was one of the worst. 😡
James Stewart was offered to serve in WW2 as an actor in propaganda movies. He denied this and volunteered to serve as a bomber officer flying over Germany. This was a very dangerous job.
@@robertjacksonjr Yawn, another leftist trying to mine for racism in the past to screech about. A better use of ones time might be reflecting on men, and women like him, and that served with him, who fought to preserve the right to engage in such paltry, attention getting histrionics in a public forum.
Frawley, for whatever intolerance he may have displayed (and, since he was remembered as a moody, irascible drunk, it might have been a great deal) had Desi Arnaz (a man he greatly admired) as a pallbearer. Most people aren't prejudiced against their friends (which might be a start).
Jimmy Stewart never did anything that was actually racist. It could’ve been considered racist I suppose, but he was probably one of the sweetest guys in Hollywood. Being friends with people mostly of your own race is not racist. If you would like to say something bad about someone, at least let it be true. There’s no reason for this.
There were accounts from black actors that he was racist. I believe them. Just because he plays nice guys on screen doesn't mean he didn't have racist views.
@@terriw919 He doesn’t play nice guys, he plays psychopaths. If I recall correctly, Dean Martin once called him “the nicest guy on television” in a roast. I’ve never heard an account of him bei a racist.

Thank you! I second that emotion. Although I get a TINY bit peeved [I'm too old to hold on to frustration from a million years ago] when Mantan Morland appears in a 1940s movie, I simply CAN'T STAND today's trash. From what I've noticed when I see a movie of today advertised, Hollywood feels compelled to keep pace with every Godd*mned new "identity" invented. There are now 72 (or 76) so-called "different" gender identities [actually, there are only TWO. Chromosomes ain't woke], and I wouldn't be surprised if Hollywood creates a movie featuring ALL 72. I never view ANY of them. In the evening, my wife and I have been trying to get through all the 4-star [IMBD-rated] 1940s. After that, we're gonna check out all the 3-star 1940s movies. Then we're going to watch the 1950s movies. A certain ideology [seems like a RELIGION!!] is ruining the culture. One wonders if we'll ever recover.
You mean like the 1930s "Baby Burlesks" and the physical & sexual abuse of Shirley Temple and other children? The racism in those early movies made me cringe as a child! James Stewart was antisemitic? What a laugh! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
This is Bullsh*t I’ve read interviews with Woody Strode and he said he was getting close to Stewart when John Ford embarrassed Stewart by accusing him of racism, as a means of keeping the 2 actors from getting too friendly. He Did Not call James Stewart racist.
While I’m aware of the unfairness of racism. I remember growing up in the 50’s & 60’s, I remember America being much more Racist than today. These folks you’re speaking of were born in the early 1900’s. It’s kinda hard to pin a tag on them because you’re leaving out that they were possibly no more than a sign of the time. Not that it made Racism any less wrong. I mean you don’t really think that people who still live in Salem, Massachusetts are looking to burn Women at Stakes Do You?
There were countless people who lived back then in those times who WEREN'T racist. Please don't defend their hateful views with it was "a sign of the time". The made a choice to be so and especially to remain so..
@@wendigo1919 Trust me- I’m not trying to defend Racism. I just lived in a time where I remember it being more prevalent. I’m not saying it was right! I’m merely pointing out that I was born in the early 50’s.I remember some things being more normal than they should have been. The people they’re talking about here were born near the turn of the century. You really do have to take that fact into account. Even the others who complained of these people were never really mentioned. So, without knowing the person personally, it’s hard to base a judgment. I applaud the African American Community for the strides they’ve made and well deserve. They fought for this country. Their battle was nothing but uphill. I’m just not going to agree with something because I’m hearing it on Social Media- That’s All
It's an undisputed fact that John Wayne had to be physically restrained as he was attempting to go on stage and hurt Sacheen Littlefeather when she stood in for Marlon Brando as he declined the Oscar win because of Hollywood's portrayal of Native Americans. If you don't think racism was involved, then please explain to me why some random dude would be physically hostile to a stranger who was simply the messenger.
A hit piece like so many others; the yellowest of yellow journalism and that's probably too much compliment for these pompous fools peddling this garbage.
I agree. He says that Woody Strode accused James Stewart of being a racist but he never says exactly what Stewart did or said or gives any details at all. Without details it's just a worthless accusation.
except when you have quite a far right person like John Wayne outright saying he believes in white supremacy....yeah it's hard to not get the impression that he was indeed racist.
@@naitthegr8131 My comment still stands. Wayne was one out of how many? Look at Joe Biden and Hillary heaping praise on Senator R. Byrd, a high-ranking KKK member. Do you condemn all democrats as racist? Don't forget democrat legacy in slavery and Jim Crow.
A lot of references to “alleged racism and misogyny” targeted toward dead actors. Come on… anyone can say those types of things without much effort. It doesn’t take but a little effort to find the truth. Disappointing video for sure
Who are you to determine what was racist 70 years ago? That was the world they lived in, and even off camera they were expected to act in a certain way if they wanted to keep working. That's no different than the corporate culture which places demands on their employees to be a certain kind of person and support a certain kind of ideology in order to advance in the company. Hollywood is a corporation . Three generations ago, contract actors who wanted to be in Hollywood had to conform. You're almost as short-sighted as a racist is
Racism is a disposition acquired, we are born with an empty template excluding our genes. We are influenced by our parents and the environment born into. Who are you to determine what was racist 70 years ago? Interesting question, am I my brother's keeper, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, Luke 6:31. Ideology and conformity, history gives a lesson with Nazi Germany, when will people learn? There are 7 people who don't know along with you.
What a badly informed hatchet job on Jimmy Stewart. In Stewart's time Hollywood was almost totally run by Jewish men. And Kirk Douglas, Walther Mathau and many more famous actors of the time said, many times in public, that these powerful Jewish men could not be trusted. But Douglas and Mathau were Jewish themselves so could not be accused of antisemitism. As for Woody Strode, he mentions in his autobiography that over the course of a few movies he made with Jimmy Stewart, he found the man to be a 'kind and gentle soul'. On the other hand, Strode thought that both John Ford and John Wayne were not overly fond of black men and were very loud in making their feelings known.
Since ‘Facts Verse’ couldn’t get James Stewart’s birth place correct, I’m not believing anything else in this Woke hit piece on actors from decades ago who can’t defend themselves.
Let me see. Jim Stewart was the racist who was a friend of Duke Ellington and Loui Armstrong. William Frawley was the racist who worked for and was a friend of Desiderio Alberto Arnaz, a Cuban. I stopped watching the video there because after seeing how it accused two people known for having black and Hispanic friends, of being racists, I couldn't bare it any more. Then I read the commentary below and realized that they also were wrong about the place where Jimmy Stewart was born.
Its easy to look at great people and criticize them years after their death....At least they were men, and we're who they were, not these fakes we have today.
Good Day, In my humble opinion this is nothing more than a character assassination which has become a societal norm. James Stewart and John Wayne both represented the values, morals, and traditions of my grandparents generation. The American people of that time survived a Great Depression and a World War. If not for their sacrifice we wouldn't be here to have an open discussion. This upload has inaccuracies and falsehoods which is shameful. As Americans we have a responsibility to acknowledge previous generations and defend them. My hat is off to these two iconic figures of history.
If they were racists or not, no apology should be expected as what was the norm in one era was totally acceptable then. Now, to call Caucasian women Becky's and Kim isn't considered racist today because it's alright to have reverse discrimination.
Great suggestion, maybe YOU should put that video together since it seems to be so important to YOU. That still won't justify John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart being great stars but pieces o' shit otherwise...
These actors were unparalleled,nothing today could equal there ability,, the racist BS doesn't mean anything anymore,it just comes from all of the macontents
Not only a racist, but John Wayne was a POS. Anybody that was one inch left of him, not too hard because he was to the right of Mussolini, was a communist, and he thought nothing of ending their careers. None of the people he turned in were proved to be anything but good Americans. No apologies from the "duke" though.
I knew about Walter brennan and John Wayne. Didn't know about Frawley, but not surprised. Was very surprised about James Stewart. I'll never look at his movies the same again.
James Stewart DID NOT grow up "in a small town in Indiana." He was born and grew up in the small town of Indiana, Pennsylvania. Your research is faulty. I wonder what else you got wrong....
The James Stewart /Woody Strode "incident" was a trick played by John Ford on the set of "The man who shot Liberty Valance". Ford liked to bully his actors, especially John Wayne, but one day, it was Stewart's turn. Ford used Stewart's comment on Strode's outfit and make-up (which were not very good in my opinion) to ask him, before all the crew, if he was a racist! Imagine how he was embarrassed! As far as I know, you can't say that James Stewart was "terribly racist" . From what I read about him, it seems that he was never really at ease with black people but that came from where he grew up, his education... But telling he was terribly racist...His best friend was Henry Fonda, I doubt that Fonda would have befriended a racist... Jane Fonda told that the only time his father slapped her (lightly) was when she used the word "nigger", she was a kid and didn't know the meaning of it, he told her never used it again. According to British journalist Michael Munn who knew very well James Stewart and his wife Gloria, Stewart was hired by Hoover as a FBI informant. Hoover told him that his goal was to fight the mafia which tried, at this time, to spread its influence on Hollywood. Only Gloria and Henry Fonda knew it. When Stewart told it to Fonda, Fonda was not really happy, he told him that he was naive, that he was used by Hoover to spy on his friends and colleagues, that the fight against the mafia was an excuse...at this time, Fonda left Hollywood to Broadway, so the two friends became estranged for some years...
There's not been one man or woman that walked the earth that exposes their innermost thoughts and feelings to the public. Having said that, the important part of acting is to entertain and master the craft. That was achieved by the individuals mentioned. Ultimately, who we really are only ourselves and God knows. Man's or Woman's time on earth is to be judged by God when that time comes. So, in short, people are free to be themselves whether they reveal it or not.
They felt pretty comfortable exposing those hateful innermost thoughts of racism towards others. It most definitely changes my view towards them.. 100%. Sounds like it doesn't bother you very much, but I may be mistaken.
@@wendigo1919 Of course it bothers me but I can't change people's way of thinking neither the unnatural behavior of today's stars. The way you feel is justified but that's what happens when the public is privy to their lives outside of their profession. I feel the same about Ellen. I actually liked her but when she exposed her private sexual preference, it made me look at her differently. Same with Mel Gibson, OJ , Neil Patrick, the list goes on. They really need to keep their lives outside of their profession to themselves. After all who really cares as long as they don't murder or harm others physically.
@@wendigo1919 I'm half black and half white, I'm also a fan of John Wayne. By the liberal definition of racism, none of them can be considered racist (prejudiced, sure, we all are). None of them were in the position of power. They were actors in movies. Who cares whom they associated themselves with or what words they used? I don't look to Hollywood for a lesson in ethics or morality. If I did, the current crop of Hollywood actors and actresses would receive an F in that department.
Surprised Charlton Heston not on here. He was actually quoted upon being asked why he thinks there’s so much gun violence that we have so much diversity in this country. The NRA champion was referring to Blacks.
Why are we always making people from the past racist whatever ist you want to make them just like what we're doing with the Revolutionary Heroes and everybody else everybody is racist in one way or another doesn't matter color you are what sex you decide to be or what religion you are everybody is racist in their own way so cut the shit and stop it do I really don't care about James Stewart or this one or that one I didn't even finish listening to this matter fact I'm getting off your Channel
I'm sorry.... someone MADE THEM RACIST? lol They did a pretty good job of that on their own. They didn't need any help. I love that it comes to light. Some were already known to me, some new. It's completely shameful. Clearly you are quite comfortable with their racism.. makes me wonder why. Everybody is racist in their own way??? Are you actually kidding me??? Speak for yourself and your family and friends! My family and friends most certainly are NOT. How incredibly disturbing and hateful. You need to get help for that.. seriously. Also, learn some punctuation.
I'm not surprised by any of these stars. This was around the time when america was REALLY segregated (and still is). They should do one on Johnny Carson. I heard he was a racist too.
Jimmy Stewart was from Indiana, Pennsylvania, not a small town in Indiana. William Frawley was not drunk a lot during the filming of I Love Lucy. It was in his contract to stay sober or get fired.
That's a lot of hearsay about these actors , is there corroboration what exactly did James Stewart ,say or do ? John Wayne kept marrying women with Native American ancestry , going against the racist narrative, I think he was likely obscenely ignorant as were most people back then,likely prejudice, but with unconscious bias , but didn't see anything about him, that suggested he had hate at his core.
I think the comments about Jimmy Stewart maybe rumors. I knew a black man who worked with Jimmy Stewart on the set. He told me that he was very nice to him. This was in the 1970s. Maybe his views changed with time, or maybe he was just nice to him personally..
In those days some were drunks and today some take drugs. It's the times we live in. There is racism on both sides. Just treat people like they treat you.
This sounds like a real hit piece. I stopped watching halfway through Jimmy Stewart ... but you should get your facts straight ... it's Indiana Pennsylvania, not a small town in Indiana. Keep in mind times were very different back then. Our forefathers owned slaves. That doesn't make them terrible people. Walt Disney is thought by many today to have been a homophobic bigot. Times were different.
Idea for your channel , show all of Biden's racist comments and remarks . Unlike all the people here who you trash , Biden's words and actions are on tape and video.
And I think as John Wayne thought if you don't believe in it or agree with it and you didn't do a damn to contribute to it, WHY the hell let it interfere with your life and sit around and boo hoo about stuff that ain't got nothing to do with you. And if Walter didn't like King that was his choice a lot of people didn't like him So what, He wasn't God.
You are obviously a KKK FASCIST and that is why you defend both wayne and Walter Brenan,a very narrow minded bigot indeed,who was happy when king was assassinated. Posted from Britain 🇬🇧. He supported the John birch society a notorious group.
That’s very selfish of you. What do you mean by “if you don’t believe in it or agree with it, and you didn’t do a damn thing to contribute to it”? With what, exactly? And people like Brennan didn’t like King because he favored black people acquiring more human rights. Of course it was his choice but I think that’s pretty deplorable and I have the right to judge him accordingly as a result.
@@MsAppassionata look just because I don't think certain people are as important as you do, doesn't make me or anyone else feeling the same way a bad person, not everyone jump's on the same band wagon.
Tour buses would go around Hollywood doing a tour of the star's homes. When the tour buses would go by Barbra Streisand's home she would come out and give the buses the finger. When they would drive by Jimmy Stewart's home he would come out and greet the tourist. Talk with they, give autographs and take pictures with them. Jimmy Stewart is a true gentleman just like Dean Martin.
William Frawley was known as a drunk & people were hesitant to hire him. So yes, Desi did have to demand that they hire Frawley. Desi even paid for his funeral.
Frawley drank but he was even more addicted to BASEBALL from the first day of spring training to the last game of the World Series. He actually had a clause in his contract that if the Yankees (his fave team) was in the World Series,, he would be written out of any shows filmed then so he could attend. He got to use it too.
@@pauladouglas9891 Vivian Vance hated him, not sure if Lucy liked him either, not sure why Desi would want an old fart racist around but then again, he probably was a Republican just like Marco Rubio.
Lew Wasserman was Jimmy Stewart's agent for decades. Stewart was raised in Pennsylvania not Indiana. Stewart objected to the "uncle remis"-ish costume that was assigned to Woody Strobe (verbatim from one of his interviews). Stewart did not rat out Hollywood Communists to Hoover. James M. Stewart entered the Army as a Private and retired as a Brigadier General. He founded several companies (NetJets, for one) and worked for conservation and environmental causes. You really need to do some homework before tarnishing someone's good name.
Instead of giving commentary about what these actors supposedly said, why not quote them directly? Good journalism uses quotes, not generalities and speculations.
Quotes I've heard from the John Wayne Playboy interview weren't nearly as bad as inplied by many. I've heard he also was prejujudiced about hispanics - forgetting who his wives were.
@@terrykeever3280 depends on what type of Hispanic it is a lot of Mexicans are spanish and indian. But do you think john wayne would have married a Afro blk woman or a blk woman!!!!!! Uh no!!!!!!

Yea, this video is so full of nonsense all the way down to them saying Jimmy Stewart was from Indiana, he wasn't from Indiana, he was from Pennsylvania, not far from where I live, he was born and raised in a small town called Indiana. And that nonsense about Woody Strode was just that, nonsense, Woody never accused Jimmy Stewart of racism, I've read so many articles about the making of The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance and Strode never did anything but sing praises for everyone involved in making the movie except for John Ford who bullied people around on the set especially Wayne who he seemed to take great delight in torturing. This video is a bunch of lies made up for the sake of sensationalism and getting clicks for their monetary value.

Just because it is stated on TH-cam does not add to its validity. They are ommitting that most of the southern United States shared similar beliefs, even many nothern citizens were openly racist. But it was a sign of the times. my father was a bigot, but it was how he was raised. That being said I never heard him disrepsect or speak unkindly to anyone. I was raised differently as were my children and theirs. To speak so of people of the early 1900s is unfair, sensationalistic, and an attempt to garner attention. Shame on you.
@Dan Pendergrass: You can judge people of a certain time period if they refused to change throughout their lifetime. All the actors that were in this report remained racist and/or xenophobic throughout their lives! So, you can miss me the whataboutisms to suppress racism!

A lot of times that is never mentioned. AND, it is long past time for black people to stop pretending to be perpetual victims!!
John Wayne, he sure had a thing with Spanish/Latin wives. His first wife from Spanish decent. His second wife is Mexican and his third wife is Peruvian.
As a Black man, I'm not the least bit surprised. And James Stewart was born in Indiana, Pennsylvania. I know this region all too well and what the people are like here.

If James Stewart turned in commies, that’s more reason to love the man. Also, really not a lot of supporting evidence of his “racism” and “xenophobia” than the say-so of Woody Strode? Pretty weak tea, if you ask me.
It's easy to slander a dead man. He's not there to defend himself. I've seen so many of these slanders against the dead and it's really appalling. It's just a mean spirited way to ruin a reputation post-mortem.

Beat me to it. I am a Hoosier and caught that error immediately. I wonder how many "facts" they have slipped by us that were just as wrong that we didn't catch. They should demonetize this site if they are this sloppy with the facts.
The entire thing is misguided opinions. Facts don't have anything to do with this BS site.
Not right to dishonor someone when you thought he grew up in the State of Indiana couldn’t even get that right he grew up in Indiana Pa.
That one fact was incorrect however, he was shot on with those actors being racist. There are other videos out there about this. Especially James Stewart and John Wayne. Jimmy use to use the n word all the time. They skipped old Walt Disney. He was one of the worst. 😡
CCP AI "web sites" are getting pretty good. Their propaganda and synthetic voices are almost believable.
James Stewart was offered to serve in WW2 as an actor in propaganda movies. He denied this and volunteered to serve as a bomber officer flying over Germany. This was a very dangerous job.
Here, here!
So because he volunteered to be a bomber pilot, that means he can’t be a racist? 🤔
@@robertjacksonjr I didn't say that
@@robertjacksonjr Yawn, another leftist trying to mine for racism in the past to screech about. A better use of ones time might be reflecting on men, and women like him, and that served with him, who fought to preserve the right to engage in such paltry, attention getting histrionics in a public forum.
I believe that there was only one job more dangerous -- that of a sailor in the Merchant Marine in the Atlantic Ocean.
Frawley, for whatever intolerance he may have displayed (and, since he was remembered as a moody, irascible drunk, it might have been a great deal) had Desi Arnaz (a man he greatly admired) as a pallbearer. Most people aren't prejudiced against their friends (which might be a start).
Irascible.....l LIKE that word.
Jimmy Stewart never did anything that was actually racist. It could’ve been considered racist I suppose, but he was probably one of the sweetest guys in Hollywood. Being friends with people mostly of your own race is not racist. If you would like to say something bad about someone, at least let it be true. There’s no reason for this.
How do you know?
There were accounts from black actors that he was racist. I believe them. Just because he plays nice guys on screen doesn't mean he didn't have racist views.
@@terriw919 He doesn’t play nice guys, he plays psychopaths. If I recall correctly, Dean Martin once called him “the nicest guy on television” in a roast. I’ve never heard an account of him bei a racist.

I still prefer the old Hollywood over the crap that goes on now. One cannot judge people of the past by today's so called "standards"
Thank you! I second that emotion. Although I get a TINY bit peeved [I'm too old to hold on to frustration from a million years ago] when Mantan Morland appears in a 1940s movie, I simply CAN'T STAND today's trash. From what I've noticed when I see a movie of today advertised, Hollywood feels compelled to keep pace with every Godd*mned new "identity" invented.
There are now 72 (or 76) so-called "different" gender identities [actually, there are only TWO. Chromosomes ain't woke], and I wouldn't be surprised if Hollywood creates a movie featuring ALL 72. I never view ANY of them.
In the evening, my wife and I have been trying to get through all the 4-star [IMBD-rated] 1940s. After that, we're gonna check out all the 3-star 1940s movies. Then we're going to watch the 1950s movies.
A certain ideology [seems like a RELIGION!!] is ruining the culture. One wonders if we'll ever recover.
You mean like the 1930s "Baby Burlesks" and the physical & sexual abuse of Shirley Temple and other children? The racism in those early movies made me cringe as a child! James Stewart was antisemitic? What a laugh! Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!
"Standards" ???
Why can't you?
Todays standards are low.
This is Bullsh*t I’ve read interviews with Woody Strode and he said he was getting close to Stewart when John Ford embarrassed Stewart by accusing him of racism, as a means of keeping the 2 actors from getting too friendly. He Did Not call James Stewart racist.
Why did you not mention the outrageous racist comments of Wayne about Native Americans in that Playboy article?
While I’m aware of the unfairness of racism. I remember growing up in the 50’s & 60’s, I remember America being much more Racist than today. These folks you’re speaking of were born in the early 1900’s. It’s kinda hard to pin a tag on them because you’re leaving out that they were possibly no more than a sign of the time. Not that it made Racism any less wrong.
I mean you don’t really think that people who still live in Salem, Massachusetts are looking to burn Women at Stakes Do You?
There were countless people who lived back then in those times who WEREN'T racist. Please don't defend their hateful views with it was "a sign of the time". The made a choice to be so and especially to remain so..
@@wendigo1919 Trust me- I’m not trying to defend Racism. I just lived in a time where I remember it being more prevalent. I’m not saying it was right! I’m merely pointing out that I was born in the early 50’s.I remember some things being more normal than they should have been. The people they’re talking about here were born near the turn of the century. You really do have to take that fact into account. Even the others who complained of these people were never really mentioned. So, without knowing the person personally, it’s hard to base a judgment.

No one was ever burned at the stakes in Salem, Mass.
You will notice that here is no historical factual information on the older actors but just what one person's idea is of someone being racist.
It's an undisputed fact that John Wayne had to be physically restrained as he was attempting to go on stage and hurt Sacheen Littlefeather when she stood in for Marlon Brando as he declined the Oscar win because of Hollywood's portrayal of Native Americans. If you don't think racism was involved, then please explain to me why some random dude would be physically hostile to a stranger who was simply the messenger.
That seems to be all it takes these days.
Excellent point.
A hit piece like so many others; the yellowest of yellow journalism and that's probably too much compliment for these pompous fools peddling this garbage.
I agree. He says that Woody Strode accused James Stewart of being a racist but he never says exactly what Stewart did or said or gives any details at all. Without details it's just a worthless accusation.
Not many “facts”. Mostly secondhand innuendo. Being conservative doesn’t make you racist.
Being a rat makes you a scumbag though.
I thought the same thing
except when you have quite a far right person like John Wayne outright saying he believes in white supremacy....yeah it's hard to not get the impression that he was indeed racist.
@@naitthegr8131 I only watched Jimmy Stewart, seemed lame.
@@naitthegr8131 My comment still stands. Wayne was one out of how many? Look at Joe Biden and Hillary heaping praise on Senator R. Byrd, a high-ranking KKK member. Do you condemn all democrats as racist? Don't forget democrat legacy in slavery and Jim Crow.
What an asinine concept, call people racist when they can't defend themselves. The word racist means nothing today, they all over use it.
And those who overuse it are themselves quite racist. They are total hypocrites.

A lot of references to “alleged racism and misogyny” targeted toward dead actors. Come on… anyone can say those types of things without much effort. It doesn’t take but a little effort to find the truth. Disappointing video for sure
Who are you to determine what was racist 70 years ago? That was the world they lived in, and even off camera they were expected to act in a certain way if they wanted to keep working. That's no different than the corporate culture which places demands on their employees to be a certain kind of person and support a certain kind of ideology in order to advance in the company. Hollywood is a corporation . Three generations ago, contract actors who wanted to be in Hollywood had to conform. You're almost as short-sighted as a racist is
Racism is a disposition acquired, we are born with an empty template excluding our genes. We are influenced by our parents and the environment born into. Who are you to determine what was racist 70 years ago? Interesting question, am I my brother's keeper, do unto others as you would have them do unto you, Luke 6:31. Ideology and conformity, history gives a lesson with Nazi Germany, when will people learn? There are 7 people who don't know along with you.
You can criticize today as well as old times. Just cause things are shitty today doesn't mean they weren't even shittier in the past.
At that time ,I based my ideas of GOOD, BAD---RIGHT , WRONG ,ETC on how other drivers OBSERVED or FAILED to obey the rules of the road .

I have a problem with accusations when none of people mentioned are alive to deny or confirm the facts.
rightly said
Makes it so easy to accuse people who are dead.
Walter Brennan was well-known to be a racist while he was alive. That fact that he’s dead does change that.
Yeah, Just shoot the dead horse why dont they?
Absolutely true.
What a badly informed hatchet job on Jimmy Stewart. In Stewart's time Hollywood was almost totally run by Jewish men. And Kirk Douglas, Walther Mathau and many more famous actors of the time said, many times in public, that these powerful Jewish men could not be trusted. But Douglas and Mathau were Jewish themselves so could not be accused of antisemitism. As for Woody Strode, he mentions in his autobiography that over the course of a few movies he made with Jimmy Stewart, he found the man to be a 'kind and gentle soul'. On the other hand, Strode thought that both John Ford and John Wayne were not overly fond of black men and were very loud in making their feelings known.
"Apologies necessary"? Well, why don't you proceed to where they are and demand one?
Buh-bye!
Since ‘Facts Verse’ couldn’t get James Stewart’s birth place correct, I’m not believing anything else in this Woke hit piece on actors from decades ago who can’t defend themselves.
Those mentioned in this video were not available for comment....
They didn't exactly hide their opinions....
I remember L P Hartley's dictum, "The past is another country, they do things differently there."
I like that.
Let me see. Jim Stewart was the racist who was a friend of Duke Ellington and Loui Armstrong. William Frawley was the racist who worked for and was a friend of Desiderio Alberto Arnaz, a Cuban. I stopped watching the video there because after seeing how it accused two people known for having black and Hispanic friends, of being racists, I couldn't bare it any more. Then I read the commentary below and realized that they also were wrong about the place where Jimmy Stewart was born.
Stewart was not a friend of Ellington.
Anyone who could be "right hand" to Hoover is ALL BAD!
Its easy to look at great people and criticize them years after their death....At least they were men, and we're who they were, not these fakes we have today.
I should be surprised at all the people here defending the racism of their favorite movie stars, but I’m really not. 😑
When you're a hammer everything looks like a nail, so Facts Verse, I call BS, grow up little boy.
Good Day,
In my humble opinion this is nothing more than a character assassination which has become a societal norm. James Stewart and John Wayne both represented the values, morals, and traditions of my grandparents generation. The American people of that time survived a Great Depression and a World War. If not for their sacrifice we wouldn't be here to have an open discussion. This upload has inaccuracies and falsehoods which is shameful. As Americans we have a responsibility to acknowledge previous generations and defend them. My hat is off to these two iconic figures of history.
I guess you can just say anything you want about anybody these days even with no proof. I would like to find the guy who wrote this story
tSamual Clemons aka Mark Twain was also many decades labeled a "racist" taking things out of context seems a bit unfair
and furthermore, John Wayne stepped on an ant once. What a horrible person. I'll never watch another movie of his....like heck i won't....
Just UNSUBSCRIBED!!!
If they were racists or not, no apology should be expected as what was the norm in one era was totally acceptable then. Now, to call Caucasian women Becky's and Kim isn't considered racist today because it's alright to have reverse discrimination.
Oh man Facts Verse went woke.
Has been all along.... just now revealed it.... I'm reading all the comments then I'm outta here... remember, go woke go broke!
Facts are a kick in the teeth, aren't they?
The Hayes code made racism entrenched in Hollywood
How about a list of black stars in Hollywood today that are racist? Or is that not allowed because it would hurt their feelings?
Great suggestion, maybe YOU should put that video together since it seems to be so important to YOU. That still won't justify John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart being great stars but pieces o' shit otherwise...
Only a RACIST himself would go directly to “WHATABOUTISM.” This video wasn’t about “Black” actors in Hollywood.
This is all bullsh*t !!!!!!!!!!
These actors were unparalleled,nothing today could equal there ability,, the racist BS doesn't mean anything anymore,it just comes from all of the macontents
Not only a racist, but John Wayne was a POS. Anybody that was one inch left of him, not too hard because he was to the right of Mussolini, was a communist, and he thought nothing of ending their careers. None of the people he turned in were proved to be anything but good Americans. No apologies from the "duke" though.
Learn to spell please before you utter such stupidity.
backward? why is racial perspective backward?
Black Power is GREAT!
So why can't whites who choose their pride feel the same?
I knew about Walter brennan and John Wayne. Didn't know about Frawley, but not surprised. Was very surprised about James Stewart. I'll never look at his movies the same again.
James Stewart DID NOT grow up "in a small town in Indiana." He was born and grew up in the small town of Indiana, Pennsylvania. Your research is faulty. I wonder what else you got wrong....
The James Stewart /Woody Strode "incident" was a trick played by John Ford on the set of "The man who shot Liberty Valance". Ford liked to bully his actors, especially John Wayne, but one day, it was Stewart's turn. Ford used Stewart's comment on Strode's outfit and make-up (which were not very good in my opinion) to ask him, before all the crew, if he was a racist! Imagine how he was embarrassed!
As far as I know, you can't say that James Stewart was "terribly racist" . From what I read about him, it seems that he was never really at ease with black people but that came from where he grew up, his education... But telling he was terribly racist...His best friend was Henry Fonda, I doubt that Fonda would have befriended a racist... Jane Fonda told that the only time his father slapped her (lightly) was when she used the word "nigger", she was a kid and didn't know the meaning of it, he told her never used it again.
According to British journalist Michael Munn who knew very well James Stewart and his wife Gloria, Stewart was hired by Hoover as a FBI informant. Hoover told him that his goal was to fight the mafia which tried, at this time, to spread its influence on Hollywood. Only Gloria and Henry Fonda knew it. When Stewart told it to Fonda, Fonda was not really happy, he told him that he was naive, that he was used by Hoover to spy on his friends and colleagues, that the fight against the mafia was an excuse...at this time, Fonda left Hollywood to Broadway, so the two friends became estranged for some years...
There's not been one man or woman that walked the earth that exposes their innermost thoughts and feelings to the public. Having said that, the important part of acting is to entertain and master the craft.
That was achieved by the individuals mentioned.
Ultimately, who we really are only ourselves and God knows. Man's or Woman's time on earth is to be judged by God when that time comes.
So, in short, people are free to be themselves whether they reveal it or not.
They felt pretty comfortable exposing those hateful innermost thoughts of racism towards others. It most definitely changes my view towards them.. 100%. Sounds like it doesn't bother you very much, but I may be mistaken.
@@wendigo1919 Of course it bothers me but I can't change people's way of thinking neither the unnatural behavior of today's stars. The way you feel is justified but that's what happens when the public is privy to their lives outside of their profession. I feel the same about Ellen. I actually liked her but when she exposed her private sexual preference, it made me look at her differently. Same with Mel Gibson, OJ , Neil Patrick, the list goes on. They really need to keep their lives outside of their profession to themselves. After all who really cares as long as they don't murder or harm others physically.
@@wendigo1919 I'm half black and half white, I'm also a fan of John Wayne. By the liberal definition of racism, none of them can be considered racist (prejudiced, sure, we all are). None of them were in the position of power. They were actors in movies. Who cares whom they associated themselves with or what words they used? I don't look to Hollywood for a lesson in ethics or morality. If I did, the current crop of Hollywood actors and actresses would receive an F in that department.
Just exactly what was Jesus hiding?
Surprised Charlton Heston not on here. He was actually quoted upon being asked why he thinks there’s so much gun violence that we have so much diversity in this country. The NRA champion was referring to Blacks.
Everything you say, applies to modern Hollywood.
Why are we always making people from the past racist whatever ist you want to make them just like what we're doing with the Revolutionary Heroes and everybody else everybody is racist in one way or another doesn't matter
color you are what sex you decide to be or what religion you are everybody is racist in their own way so cut the shit and stop it do I really don't care about James Stewart or this one or that one I didn't even finish listening to this matter fact I'm getting off your Channel
I'm sorry.... someone MADE THEM RACIST? lol They did a pretty good job of that on their own. They didn't need any help. I love that it comes to light. Some were already known to me, some new. It's completely shameful. Clearly you are quite comfortable with their racism.. makes me wonder why. Everybody is racist in their own way??? Are you actually kidding me??? Speak for yourself and your family and friends! My family and friends most certainly are NOT. How incredibly disturbing and hateful. You need to get help for that.. seriously. Also, learn some punctuation.
I'm not surprised by any of these stars. This was around the time when america was REALLY segregated (and still is). They should do one on Johnny Carson. I heard he was a racist too.
Oh you heard??? So it MUST be true. Too bad your mother didn’t swallow. If she had. We’d have one less fucking idiot in the world.
Jimmy Stewart was from Indiana, Pennsylvania, not a small town in Indiana. William Frawley was not drunk a lot during the filming of I Love Lucy. It was in his contract to stay sober or get fired.
Yes it was in his contract to be sober and on time for work.
Is this how we "Unite the Country"? By tarnishing the good name of one of our nations hero's? Especially when he's not here to defend himself.
No comments of John Wayne’s support of the communist trials and blacklisting other actors and writers? That’s his real crime.
That's a lot of hearsay about these actors , is there corroboration what exactly did James Stewart ,say or do ? John Wayne kept marrying women with Native American ancestry , going against the racist narrative, I think he was likely obscenely ignorant as were most people back then,likely prejudice, but with unconscious bias , but didn't see anything about him, that suggested he had hate at his core.
It is confirmed about Stewart. Wayne's wives were all of Hispanic descent.
Don't believe everything you hear on here.
I was a Wayne fan...until learning of his views. It's difficult to excuse him.
I think the comments about Jimmy Stewart maybe rumors. I knew a black man who worked with Jimmy Stewart on the set. He told me that he was very nice to him. This was in the 1970s. Maybe his views changed with time, or maybe he was just nice to him personally..
Many racists were polite to black people on an individual level, while still believing in white supremacy. Hitler treated Jesse Owens very well.

Why would they apologise?
This sounds like a real hit piece. I stopped watching halfway through Jimmy Stewart ... but you should get your facts straight ... it's Indiana Pennsylvania, not a small town in Indiana. Keep in mind times were very different back then. Our forefathers owned slaves. That doesn't make them terrible people. Walt Disney is thought by many today to have been a homophobic bigot. Times were different.
It was just terrible what Walt did to Tyrus Wong
If your going to accuse some one of racism you need to have a lot of proof and show all racist actors not just your politicaly correct ones

I approve
@Dan Pendergrass: You can judge people of a certain time period if they refused to change throughout their lifetime. All the actors that were in this report remained racist and/or xenophobic throughout their lives! So, you can miss me the whataboutisms to suppress racism! This country will never be potentially great until they truly address the issues and start practicing inclusion & love!
Amen
I cant be swayed.I grew up trying to talk like John Wayne, and got pretty good at sounding like Jimmy. Even if I believed what I just read, ( which I dont) These two were in tge top ten of my favs. But their beliefs dont trickle to me..I have many favorite actors from all flavors of being. , Woody, Mr. Crothers from the shining, Denzel, Will ,Jim Brown, Carl Weathers, Mr Poitier and many others.I couldnt be swayed simply by hearsay or idle gossip.÷
OK, Jerry Weaver. Please work on getting black people of all ages interested in practicing inclusion and love toward white people. For the record - many black people are extremely racist too! A lot of times that is never mentioned. AND, it is long past time for black people to stop pretending to be perpetual victims!!
John Wayne, he sure had a thing with Spanish/Latin wives. His first wife from Spanish decent. His second wife is Mexican and his third wife is Peruvian.
So true hmm odd thou for him but all nice .
But, but, but - *racism* and *xenophobia* !!! /sarc
@@gary6449 yeah, but his last longterm girlfriend was white, lol. Is that racism too?
@@thehair1474 wasn’t aware of that.
Mail order Latino Brides.
TH-cam stories such as this one is full of inaccuracies just like the reaction videos when most of the people who are doing them don't have a clue
As a Black man, I'm not the least bit surprised.
And James Stewart was born in Indiana, Pennsylvania. I know this region all too well and what the people are like here.
Boo hoo🙄
It goes both ways cupcake
@@hardlines4 It goes both ways? Don't complain if someone grapes your female relatives because they're whatever garbage race you are.
My father flew with Jimmy Steward during the 2nd world war.. He had nothing but good things to say about him❤️
I'm pretty sure racists rarely talk bad about each other.
It doesn't matter what these actors thought it was their business and they were Intiled of freedom of speech
@@helenphair4745 Freedom of speech is freedom of government interference. Anyone can say whatever they want but there are consequences. When John Wayne espoused his racist views in Playboy he was no longer making it his own business.
@@tracejohnson5519 that's life I say people should be able to say whatever they like right or wrong
@@helenphair4745 They can say whatever they want now, but, there are consequences. You can't expect people not to react when you or anyone else says something ignorant like John Wayne did in the Playboy interview. The principal of freedom of speech works both ways.
If James Stewart turned in commies, that’s more reason to love the man. Also, really not a lot of supporting evidence of his “racism” and “xenophobia” than the say-so of Woody Strode? Pretty weak tea, if you ask me.
The Truth just hurts !
@@SuperAnimelover100 How’s about I call you a “racist” or “Xenophobe” on one person’s say-so? Nah, I didn’t think you’d think that was fair either.
It's easy to slander a dead man. He's not there to defend himself. I've seen so many of these slanders against the dead and it's really appalling. It's just a mean spirited way to ruin a reputation post-mortem.
"turned in commies" and who was he to judge if they were 'commies' or not??
Turning in people who think differently sounds more Soviet than American 🇺🇲
@@stephenchappell7512 When the “thinking” amounts to Government seizure and control of the means of production and redistribution of wealth as this nebulous group of thieves sees fit, I could give a rat’s ass about what “sounds” Soviet. So, it’s OK for advocates of Communism to push for this immoral and illegal “philosophy” but somehow “Un-American” to call them on it? OK, Komrade…..
