This is just sad on so many levels.

Unearthed NBA team photo proves NOTHING has changed!

The pertinent question is where is Mr. Wayne wrong.
Here's a good start:
quote:
The actor, who has been in films such as 1960's The Alamo and 1966's El Dorado, stated in the nearly 50-year-old interview that he was in favor of white supremacy, explaining his belief that black people weren't "sufficiently equipped scholastically" to be in charge of others. "We can't all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of blacks," Wayne said in the interview in response to a question regarding Angela Davis and discrimination.
That's just a bigoted look no matter how you slice it. Now, I'll grant the caveat that I'd agree if his contention was that leadership should be merit based, not simply ceded on racial grounds. That's fine. But there were plenty of scholastically proficient blacks around 50-60 years ago, certainly far more than himself (which is not a knock on him, btw--he was an actor, not a rocket scientist).

You are 100% correct.
The fact the article tries to prove racism today from the thoughts of a rugged man from 40 years ago when times were much different, is insanity.

The democrats are insane. Obama completely broke that party.

Wonder if they'll comment on LBJ's racial remarks?

Indeed. It's the most cockamamie codswallop I've ever heard.
I mean, what is the point? It'd be relevant if, say, Chris Pratt was out there saying blacks shouldn't be leaders or something. But nobody is fricking saying that, and it's not like John Wayne's movies were in the news recently for anything of note.
This is just random leftist virtue signaling out of left field for some dated, unsurprising shite.
Oh but if you mention Margaret Sanger RE: Planned Parenthood.....

How are the 50-year-old ruminations of a long-dead actor relevant to todays‘s political discourse?
They are not.
Just another clickbait article. And it worked.

The Democrat Party is more dysfunctional today than at any other time I can remember. It would be laughable, and it even is to an extent, but then I remember that they control the House of Representatives, and senile Nancy Pelosi is SOTH. AOC is considered a rising star, and a Jew-hating Muslim bigot barely gets a slap on the wrist for expressing outright anti-Semitism. Not to mention the Green New Deal that would make everything from cows to cars extinct.
God help us all if one of these Democrat dimwits wins the White House in 2020. I don't think it will happen, but I also didn't think an empty suit like Irishman Robert O'Rourke would come within 2 points of beating Ted Cruz.
Make no doubt about it. We are engaged in a war with people who want to destroy America.

I'm not an expert on the NBA, but the guy on the end could play. Even I know him. Not sure about the others.

Motherfrickers are fricking with holy ground now.

Everyone today should strive to be like John Wayne.
