A black man should be killed if hes messing with a white woman. This sentiment was uttered not in 1875 but 1975 by a man with an airport named in his honor. This brings us to the effort to strip late actor John Waynes name from the airport in Orange County, California.
Those advocating such point to what they consider the sheer crudeness of the actors feelings about gay people, black people, Native Americans, young people and liberals, as the Los Angeles Times Michael Hiltzik puts it. But my opening, eyebrow-raising quotation is whats truly shocking here. Lets be fair: How can a man who uttered it have an airport named after him in 2019?
How?
Because the man who uttered it was not John Wayne.
It was late boxer Muhammad Ali...

Well today there are many people - including people in places of power - who share "crude" ideas about white people, old people, males, heterosexuals, conservatives, and Christians.

It sure looks like it.
John Wayne was also married to three Spanish/Latina women.

"Say goodbye to John Wayne International Airport."
My ex grew up in Anaheim, and we flew in to John Wayne airport when we visited her parents. Very convenient - you could get in and out of there in about ten minutes; very small terminal, so there was minimal walking to your car or taxi.

They'll be renaming John Wayne International Airport.

They just might remove Ali’s name if they knew he said this.
In response to the question, “What did you think of Africa?”, Ali responded, “Thank God my Granddaddy Got on that boat!”

There is a now growing movement to rename John Wayne International Airport.
Conservatives continue to believe in equality and fairness. It doesn't exist. John Wayne will lose his airport for the sentiments he aired in 1971. Ali will not. The left likes Ali. They do not like Wayne and conservatives do not fight for their icons.

Ding ding ding - we have a winner! When Ali died, the left was in adulatory mourning for two weeks, even though - or because! - he made very similar statements to what Wayne said about interracial romance.
