Stupid White Man
We always hate to pay any attention to Michael Moore, possibly the world's biggest blowhard, but we're going to succumb to the temptation. Yasmin Alibhai-Brown of the left-wing London Independent reports on a Moore performance at the Roundhouse in north London:
"Moore went into a rant about how the passengers on the planes on 11 September were scaredy-cats because they were mostly white. If the passengers had included black men, he claimed, those killers [the hijackers], with their puny bodies and unimpressive small knives, would have been crushed by the dudes, who as we all know take no disrespect from anybody."
Moore is dealing in stereotypes not only of whites (some of whom actually showed impressive courage on Flight 93) but also of blacks, whom he paints as quick to violence.
Meanwhile, the Internet Movie Database reports that the self-styled populist Moore "stormed out of Britain after a bust up" with the Roundhouse:
"On the penultimate night he reportedly flew into a rage, verbally attacked everyone associated with the theatre because he thought he wasn't being paid enough. During the performance he complained he was making just $750 a night. A member of the stage crew says, "He completely lost the plot. He stormed around all day screaming at everyone, even the £5-an-hour bar staff, telling them how we were all conmen and useless. Then he went on stage and did it in public."
