California politicians have voted down a proposal to designate May 26 - the actor's birthday - as John Wayne Day. The idea was rejected after some said Wayne had made racist comments against blacks and Native Americans. The resolution for John Wayne Day was submitted by Assemblyman Matthew Harper, who described Wayne as the "prototypical American Hero, symbolizing such traits as self-reliance, grace under pressure, resolve and patriotism." 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. Assemblyman Luis Alejo also complained that Wayne "had disturbing views towards race." The proposal was consequently voted down on Thursday, although several lawmakers, including Harper, claimed that the vote had gone in favor of "political correctness." Others also remembered Wayne's contribution to cancer research and his support for the US military. Support for 'white supremacy' The actor who became known under the stage name John Wayne was born in 1907 as Marion Mitchell Morrison and later renamed Marion Robert Morrison. Also nicknamed the "Duke," Wayne defined the quintessential cowboy on screen with his appearance of rugged masculinity and swaggering walk. His most famous movies include "The Alamo," "The Green Beret" and "True Grit," for which he received an Academy Award. However, the actor, whose film career ran from the early 1930s to 1976, was a conservative and ruffled feathers with his strong views on discrimination. "With a lot of blacks, there's quite a bit of resentment along with their dissent, and possibly rightly so… But we can't all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of the blacks," 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.
Look at the last eight years and then consider how prophetic John Wayne’s statement was in 1971!
Consider the appointments made by the worst president in our history as the most irresponsible.
Call it “racist,” but it is true indeed.
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.
Ridiculous! Look how much better Zimbabwe is than Rhodesia. Look at South Africa under the ANC...
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.
We have it on DVD.
Not for you... :)
The LBGTQ trumps BLM
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.
There, fixed it.
I think it absolutely stunning how aggressive the progressive movement is. From civil war monuments to movies, from bathrooms to the Supreme Court. Crazy stuff.
Frankly, I’m flat @$$ wore out by the attacks on American culture/way of life.
Yes. I like the way you put it better,too.
Seriously.
LOL
“Messed up” does not begin to describe the chaos in California.
A territory blessed with a vast array of natural resources, and perhaps the most diverse topography in all of the United States, with the potential to be far greater than ever it has been, being drizzled away by the leeches and the parasites that have parlayed their hold on the control and restriction of the uses of these resources with the sometimes silliest and most facile of reasoning, not in any beneficial way.
California in its original and native ecological state was almost as barren as Egypt, but with the application of industry and logical thinking, the semi-desert of the Central Valley was made to be one of the most fertile regions on the entire planet, with potential for year-round harvesting and relative freedom from most of the hazards that dog the practice of agriculture elsewhere. Water, which was the main scarcity, was diverted from the run-off of the snow pack that came naturally to the Sierras in a reliable regular cycle, and held for slowed release, and the fertile soils of the lowlands yielded up bountiful harvests of just about every fruit and vegetable that grace the tables all over America and are (or were) regularly exported to other lands.
All this worked for decades, until some person, or group of persons, all of whom were singularly lacking in any kind of critical thinking, got a bug up their collective butts, and claimed that the land should “revert” to its original state. Some obscure and previously little noticed species were in danger of extinction, so goes the argument, and we must “restore” their habitat, at any cost.
I guess Horton heard a Who, and the chain of events, which now fetters and holds captive the entire state of California, was forged in board rooms and campus halls far from the site of all this wondrous success.

If there was a fence and people deported, California could be slowly reclaimed. Once illegall immigraiton is stopped, most people moving there from within the US would be white. It’s amazing how fast that could tilt things back the other way.
So now John Wayne is/was a racist? What is the world coming to? Oh, never mind, I already know....
