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.”

The gays will be the ones to demand Reagan be renamed at every place he’s named. They feel he didn’t kiss their ring with the AIDS virus enough. I bet within 5 years that will be the next round of renames. Anyone who didn’t cheer gay marriage or anything “pride”. And then Hispanics will go after names of people who didn’t support illegal immigration. A decade from now we might have names we can’t pronounce. To think Muslims thought they’d have to work at taking over America.

Muslims—Taliban—Isis-—
ALL these groups want to erase ALL history all round the world.

WHO destroyed those large Buddist statues carved into a mountain in Asia?

Probably the ancestors that came to the US did not own slaves BUT,

If any of your ancestors were Vikings, they probably took and owned slaves.

Or considering that the slaves that the Vikings took home with them eventually were assimilated into the community, could be that your ancestors were slaves.

Maybe both.

For decades San Diego’s airport was called Lindbergh Field, but they have dropped that name and removed Charles Lindbergh’s mural. They also renamed the Bob Hope Airport in Burbank. McCarran Field in Las Vegas, named for the Russian spy hunter Sen. Pat McCarran (D-Nev.) is also under attack.

Yep - “white” is the operative word. If anyone is “white,” they must be guilty of something. Disgusting.

Today’s generation is a bunch of spoiled juveniles, and the Democrats fully relate and pander to them. Again, disgusting.

You’re guilty of being White.

You’re guilty of having White Privilege. You’re guilty of Micro Aggressions.

Being white is being guilty.

If that is not racism, then the word has no meaning. Being white is being responsible for all of the evil in the world.

The Caucasian Race are literally ‘White Devils’

Yep - and the Lefties/Liberals/Democrats/Socialists/Marxists - through the MSM - control the narrative. So if you are a “minority,” you cannot be racist. Only if you are white. Cannot believe how stupid people are.

And you can only be a minority if we say you are.

Such as George Zimmerman wasn’t a minority, he was a “White Hispanic”.

If you’re being a minority doesn’t fit our current political agenda, sorry you’re going to have to be White.

Oh, and by the way because you’re White and we have a racial axe to grind we are going to have to ruin your life. Sorry boyo you’re taking one for the team whether you like it or not.

They are attacking the heroes of my youth.”

This because they are Marxists that hate us all. They want to destroy our nation and the control of the remnants with a socialist system.

Three years later, that singer departed a restaurant on Chicago’s west side and was shot in the throat by a 15-year-old. The singer survived. Fill in the blanks.

But that version of the anthem is most stirring
