Role Model? I think NOT.

The article titled “Michael Moore, Role Model”, Peter Schweizer tells us about how all the ways Moore likes to preach his believes, but doesn’t always practice what he says. He points out the fact that Moore bashes society for being greatly racist. He complains that only 5% of the journalism employees are African American and that people in America don’t want to melt together and avoid living in the same neighborhood as blacks. He says this, but Schweizer is quick to tell us that Moore’s very own neighborhood he lives in Caucasian. When we find this out as readers all we can see is how hypocritive Moore is. He wants to say racism is a problem but he himself is contributing to this “problem”. Moore also tells everyone around him that he does not invest in the stock market and that the stock market is only to benefit people who are already wealthy. Things like the stock market are only making it harder on the disadvantaged families. However, Moore actually invests in several large corporations. Again how hypocritical can one person be? I agree completely with Schweizer after reading his article about Moore. This man seems completely, not only hypocritical, but also self centered. He’s pointing fingers at everyone else in America and saying what they’re doing is wrong and that they should do what he believes in and we would be a better country. But he is doing those very things he supposedly doesn’t believe in. Stop looking at everyone else and focus on you.
