I’m putting John Wayne Day on the calendar. We’ll have steaks and watch “Rio Grande.”

Wayne told the magazine Playboy in a 1971 interview. "I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don't believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people," he said.

Is it racist if it's true?

Soon we won’t be able to order coffee “black”.

Damn!

This probably means there will be no “Bat Guano Day” in California either.

The “land of the fruits and nuts” succeeds again in showing the world how truly crazy they are. SHEESH!

There's this Indian who really needs to take a cr@9. So he goes to the out house and discovers that there is no toilet paper. He then decides that he will first go and buy a roll. At the store he asks the clerk how much it is for a roll of toilet paper. “Well we got three brands, $3.00 for Charmin, $2.00 for fluffy, or $1.00 for the no-name-brand.” He decides that the no-name-brand will do. He later returns to the store and says to the clerk, “I got a name for the toilet paper you sold me.” “Oh yah, what is it?” “John Wayne, It’s rough, tough, and it don’t take no $#!+ off of Indian!”

Could somebody post a reminder come that day? I will fly the flag just like I do on Reagan's birthday.

Screw California. Just one more reason why we in the northern counties want to separate and become our own state. The State of Jefferson.

“Racist” John Wayne spoke fluent Spanish and his 3 wives were all of Hispanic descent.

I love the Duke!! He was the kind of guy who would come to your house and drink all your liquor...and then beat you up. After that you would thank him.

But Harper's colleague Lorena Gonzalez said Wayne's movies showed a lot of Native Americans being killed and that they sanctioned the white occupation of the continent.

And why was it better to have the Latino "occupation of the continent" from the Rio Grande to Tierra del Fuego, Sra. Gonzalez? I would dare say that the treatment of the indigenous south of the border has been far worse over the centuries.

What is more absurd, however, is that she refuses to honor an ACTOR. If you want to talk about whether we should honor Col. Forsyth of the Wounded Knee massacre, we can have a reasoned discussion, but to refuse to honor an ACTOR because his roles--not HIM, his ROLES--supported the same thing in the US that occurred in Mexico, and Colombia, and Chile? I am done with such stupidity.

I don't agree with the white supremacy part, but how is the rest of his comments not true?

Look at all the big cities run into the ground by black Democrats. The African countries that are in perpetual poverty. Haiti and some of the other Caribbean countries.

So now John Wayne is/was a racist? What is the world coming to? Oh, never mind, I already know....

[ecomcon]

WAYNE: Just this: The articulate liberal group has caused certain things in our country,
and I wonder how long the young people who read Playboy are going to allow these
things to go on. George Putnam, the Los Angeles news analyst, put it quite succinctly
when he said, “What kind of a nation is it that fails to understand that freedom of speech
and assembly are one thing, and anarchy and treason are quite another, that allows known
Communists to serve as teachers to pervert the natural loyalties and ideals of our kids,
filling them with fear and doubt and hate and down-grading patriotism and all our heroes
of the past?”

PLAYBOY: You blame all this on liberals?

WAYNE: Well, the liberals seem to be quite willing to have Communists teach their kids
in school. The Communists realized that they couldn’t start a workers’ revolution in the
United States, since the workers were too affluent and too progressive. So the Commies
decided on the next-best thing, and that’s to start on the schools, start on the kids. And
they’ve managed to do it. They’re already in colleges; now they’re getting into high
schools. I wouldn’t mind if they taught my children the basic philosophy of communism,
in theory and how it works in actuality. But I don’t want somebody like Angela Davis
inculcating an enemy doctrine in my kids’ minds.

PLAYBOY: Angela Davis claims that those who would revoke her teaching credentials
on ideological grounds are actually discriminating against her because she’s black. Do
you think there’s any truth in that?

WAYNE: With a lot of blacks, there’s quite a bit of resentment along with their dissent,
and possibly rightfully so. But we can’t all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn
everything over to the leadership of the blacks. I believe in white supremacy until the
blacks are educated to a point of responsibility. I don’t believe in giving authority and
positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.

hence OBAMA proves his point...

And exactly what racist comments would those be?

Mexifornia has become a nasty place to live

The only thing that really impressed me about Anaheim was a large statue of the Duke at "John Wayne International Airport".

[FlingWingFlyer]

This is the second article I’ve read about this. The Duke-hating, anti-American loudmouth mentioned in each article was a Mexican. I think they’re just pissed off about his movie, “The Alamo”.

***Wayne told the magazine Playboy in a 1971 interview.***

I read that interview back then while setting in a barber shop. John Wayne was SPOT ON!
He was especially brutal about Johnson lying about NOT sending boys to SE Asia.
