***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.
Every now and then they show up on one of the cable movie channels
THE SHOOTIST
On AMC right now....
Wayne also spent lots of money making movies around Durango, Mexico.
The locals wish the movie makers would come back, but why should they when they can just use CGI backgrounds for the old west movies.
Didn't you get the memo? TRUTH is the new HATE SPEECH.
They'd also have to find someone in Hollywood who could play a cowboy instead of a cowgirl...
From my interpretation, when he says “white supremacy” he did not mean in terms of the KKK or the Jim Crow laws but in the sense of government power, which to be fair look at Detroit and Baltimore, it is a hell hole and to an extent Booker T Washington was trying to avoid that, agree or disagree.

“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. Its amazing how fast that could tilt things back the other way.”
I left California in 1990. It’s lost and it ain’t comin’ back. If you’re rich enough you can isolate yourself from the mess. Sort of like the rich do in Mexico and other countries with huge, corrupt, one-party governments and a huge gap between the rich and poor.
The worst thing about California is that it remains the bellwether - you can see what the future will be like for the rest of the country in another twenty or thirty years. And it ain’t good.
“”Lorena Gonzalez said Wayne’s movies showed a lot of Native Americans being killed and that they sanctioned the white occupation of the continent””
OH, my gosh! A bunch of saps voted this idiot into office? John Wayne killed Indians!!! That’s news that should be at the top of the news hour!
Does zer0 not justify John?
Yep, Wayne’s “Lone Star” productions, released through Monogram, 1933-35. They fell into public domain, and were quite common. But the outfit with the best best-quality prints of them added some annoyingly modern ‘synthesizer’ music to them to cover the silence during action scenes and such, which I loathe. I prefer the old-fashioned, early-talkie silence that was a common characteristic of b-westerns of that time.
He was perfectly on target.
The sets were back-lot, of course, but the gear was all authentic working-ranch stuff.
now they’re taking the statue down when they change the airport name
