Charlie chaplin

I know its wrong to downgrade a successful person who made a difference in the world because of their flaws and I dont intend to do so but I was shocked by this quote by charlie chaplin:

Brunettes are troublemakers. They're worse than the Jews.
Charlie Chaplin

Shocking especially when you consider he was so against dictators and encroaching on freedom:

The hate of men will pass, and dictators die, and the power they took from the people will return to the people. And so long as men die, liberty will never perish.
Charlie Chaplin

yikes charlie

Maltzmania on Oct 20 '07 at 11:03pm

wait. wasn't he jewish?

deboraborialis on Oct 20 '07 at 11:03pm

Again, it was a different time, when things like that were somehow acceptable.

Maltzmania on Oct 20 '07 at 11:04pm

no. he wasn't....nm

He may have been being ironic.

deboraborialis on Oct 20 '07 at 11:06pm

Everyone mistrusted the jews back then, much like the darkies now.

(I hope you got the sarcasm there)

No, ironicism wasn't invented yet.

Ok after doing more research it was probably said in irony.

There is no documentary evidence of Jewish ancestry for Chaplin himself. For his entire public life, he fiercely refused to challenge or refute claims that he was Jewish, saying that to do so would always "play directly into the hands of anti-semites".

I hate to break this to you, but... his moustache wasn't real either.

deboraborialis on Oct 20 '07 at 11:08pm

was it bronzicism?

Maltzmania on Oct 20 '07 at 11:09pm

neither was his face

deboraborialis on Oct 20 '07 at 11:09pm

you lie Nicola!

But he was a womaniser always attracted to teenagers, he married a few 16 year olds, and was suspected to be a communist.

Maltzmania on Oct 20 '07 at 11:12pm

i was jsut reading that same thing stub

loserbeech on Oct 20 '07 at 11:15pm

It's ridiculous how hard I had to work to find this, all Google brought up was links to buy Charlie Chaplin costumes.

America thought that everyone was a communist. We want new facts!

Noobits on Oct 20 '07 at 11:16pm

he was taking the piss

Noobits on Oct 20 '07 at 11:18pm

He left america because of the communist thing, and did not go back (I dont think he did anyway)

todiefor on Oct 20 '07 at 11:18pm

that mustache is called a toothbrush mustache.

also, i'm pretty sure that quote was in irony.

he had married paulette goddard who was a brunette.

i'm pretty sure if he thought so badly of them, he wouldn't have married one.

loserbeech on Oct 20 '07 at 11:19pm

America kicked him out!

deboraborialis on Oct 20 '07 at 11:21pm

get to bed nicola, it's 5.20 am.

loserbeech on Oct 20 '07 at 11:23pm

Only if you do my homework. Why aren't you in bed, anyway?

deboraborialis on Oct 20 '07 at 11:25pm

Just about to go there now. Am wasted and tired.

loserbeech on Oct 20 '07 at 11:28pm

You're about to go there now with other people, if certain other blogs are to be believed.

deboraborialis on Oct 20 '07 at 11:28pm

I can hear the melodic snoring of my other half. God, I'm so fucking lucky.
