Hollywood star Arnold Schwarzenegger has urged anti-Semites and other racist and discriminatory hate groups to stop spreading hate and take a better path.
According to Variety, the action star, who made headlines last year for visiting the Auschwitz concentration camp and bearing in mind his father’s own Nazi past, posted a 12-minute direct-to-camera speech on YouTube calling on anyone who has “heard some conspiracies about Jewish people or any race or gender and thought, ‘That makes sense to me’.”
“There has never been a successful movement based on hate…Nazis? Losers. The Confederacy? Losers. The apartheid movement? Losers. I don’t want you to be a loser. I don’t want you to be weak…despite all my friends who might say, “Arnold, don’t talk to those people. It’s not worth it,” I don’t care what they say. I care about you. I think you’re worth it I know no one is perfect…I can understand how people can fall into the trap of prejudice and hatred stairs,” he added.
Schwarzenegger continued, “It’s easier to make excuses that the Jewish people conspired to hold you back than it is to admit that you just had to work harder… It’s easier to hate than to learn… No one who has chosen the easy path of hatred, has come to the end of the road and said, “What a life.” No. They die as miserably as they lived,” reported Variety.
He went on to state that it is never too late to “regardless of how far you’ve gone” saying, “I want you to know that you still have the chance to choose a life of strength… You must end the war carry against yourself… The [hate] path is easier – you don’t have to change anything, everything in your life that you are not happy with can be someone else’s fault… [But] you will eventually break down. I don’t want you to go through all that.”
Meanwhile, Schwarzenegger has recently made headlines for his political advocacy and will soon return to entertainment with his first starring role in a television series courtesy of Netflix’s action comedy Fubar, according to Variety.
