California Democrats are looking to change the name of John Wayne airport in Orange County over bigoted remarks the actor made during a 1971 interview with Playboy magazine.

In the piece — which has stirred controversy in the past — Wayne said he believed in white supremacy adding “I don’t feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves.”

“I don’t feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves.”

No sane person SHOULD.

This same issue was dredged up a few years back. The leftists have a playbook they drag out every election season.

I am not sure of the beginning of this PC garbage but the removal of Kate Smith statue(s) and the banning of “God Bless America” a year or two ago at certain sporting events heightened this stupidity. The PC culture is supported by spineless, weak-kneed chumps who refuse to acknowledge the good — especially done by whites — over the years. Who helped free the slaves? Who made black athletes rich? Who listened to music and bought recordings not caring if the singer was white or black? The list is lengthy and both distant and near. White people are being shamed. I repeat something I have said on FR a few times in recent weeks: in decades past, we as whites were told not to judge an entire group (blacks) by the actions (bad) of a few. That is exactly what they are doing to us now!

That actor held all those black slaves, er, um, he didn’t have any slaves.

Well, his race was white so he lived on the privileges of the work of the 1619 slaves as the NYT said. So he has to suffer indignation now.

This crap is getting really aggravating.

“I haven’t lost my temper in 40 years, but pilgrim you caused a lot of trouble this morning, might have got somebody killed... and somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won’t, I won’t. The hell I won’t.”—John Wayne as McClintock.

Don’t they do this every year?

And of course they’ll eventually come for Reagan National.
