“A black man should be killed if he’s 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 Wayne’s name from the airport in Orange County, California.
Those advocating such point to what they consider “the sheer crudeness of the actor’s 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 what’s truly shocking here. Let’s 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, don’t look at all levels of the police, military, business, acedemia, politics...
The guy made movies - very often you have to say and do things in movies because it’s in the script - even if you’re uncomfortable doing such.
(at least that’s my comment when I troll the left on this)

How many Blacks were actually killed by the KKK's Exalted Cyclops or the many, over 150 probably well over that number, of Klan members he personally recruited?
How many democrat congressmen, senators and politicians that had power over Blacks were members of the Klan?
But hey let's go after The Duke because above all else he loved Family and America and that just can't stand! This is nothing new democrat actors and there are a lot like Kirk Douglas despised Wayne and weren't bashful about knocking him.
Did you read any of it??? It was said by Cassius Clay aka Muhammed Ali

Sorry, folks, I misread.
And why?
Because this past week I have fought off freepers who claimed the Duke was a bad actor, a bad man...and, as usual, a draft dodger.
I’ve asked the mods to remove my post.

Oh, I'm sorry, is someone talking about renaming Ali's airport?
Didn't think so.
It never is a two way street with them I suppose.
Gaseous Cassius
How about DC itself? Columbia? What’s that?
And the Grasslands, and a lake, several parks, etc.....
Got three names, John Wayne Airport, Santa An Airport and Orange County Airport. Lived nearby and used it for 21 years.
