It's a no-go for The Duke.
A California lawmaker's bid to commemorate May 26, 2016, as "John Wayne Day" failed in the Assembly after lawmakers cited the actor's comments on race. In a 1971 interview with Playboy, Wayne called black people "irresponsible" and said Native Americans were "selfish" for not wanting to share their land with white colonists.
"He had disturbing views toward race," said Assemblyman Luis Alejo (D-Watsonville), according to the Associated Press.

“Mexican is as much as a race as Canadian is.”
I agree with that, but please explain “La Raza”.
Is Mr. Alejo an illegal or legal citizen? Does it matter anymore in CA? My friend John was a true American of his times and was certainly non-PC (and PC did not exist in his time)
Ya....married 4 Latinas, but that’s not good enough.
No can do....born here. Lived in California for 20 years. Loved the beautyall the activities but Brown is destroying it. It would seem that illegals have lots more control than when we lived there. Breaks my heart. La Raza is trying it’s best to California returned to Mexico.....California is part of Aztlan and Mexico believes that it should be returned. If you live in California, good luck.
Ya better reboot yourself bucky. After decades of loser leadership, the U.S. is a defacto illegal alien sanctuary country. Even so-called red Texas has over a dozen illegal alien sanctuary cities, this includes major Texas cites.
This epic invasion once isolated to CA and the southwest, went to all points USA long ago. You need to get out more.
John Wayne Day is gonna be May 5th this year...
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I won’t be celebrating it this year, that’s the day my youngest g/daughter has her pre- school graduation ceremony.
(Yes, there really is such a thing)...and she expects me and grandma to be there, so that’s that.
Good Lord these people are dimented.
John Wayne’s not dead
He’s frozen and as soon as we find the cure for cancer
We’re gonna thaw out the Duke and he’s gonna be pretty pissed off
You know why? Have you ever taken a cold shower?
Well multiple that by 15 million times
That’s how pissed off the Duke’s gonna be

Couldn’t have had anything to do with his daughter endorsing Trump, would it?
If dead people are selected to Political Correctness, ever one would full for some reason or other. Maybe the critism honors would “pure?”
Chev Guevara- The truth about Che now has its boots on. He helped free Cubans from the repressive Batista regime, only to enslave them in a totalitarian police state worst than the last. He was Fidel Castro’s chief executioner, a mass-murderer who in theory could have commanded any number of Latin American death squads, from Peru’s Shining Path on the political left to Guatemala’s White Hand on the right.
Moa, Castro, Stalin, Lenin, etc...
“3 Mexican wives”
Actually Peru and Central America, but all were Latina.
Once you have a large enough population of mixed races to have a stable genome you could almost call it a new race. Some do.
However Mexico is peculiar. At the top of society and politics you will find much more caucasian ancestry. The bottom of society in Mexico are the Indians. The top of society selects mates that are mostly white. The Indians have little choice. The majority of Mexico in the middle are very interbreed with indians and do represent a stable genome.
ps Racism is alive and well in Mexico. My wife (Mexican from Mexico) is darker than her sisters. Her sisters were much more socially acceptable in Mexico than she, because of skin shade. She became an engineer here in the United States and went to our schools while her father paid out of country tuition. She came her legally and did it the right way.
