I met John Wayne in June 1966 when he visited my Special Forces A-Camp at Trai Bi, Vietnam.

Apparently, the SJW perpetual-outrage mob has run out of living people to clench their fists and stomp their feet over because their latest target is John Wayne. In case you missed it, someone resurrected a 1971 Playboy interview with The Duke. In it, he said racist and homophobic things. I'm assuming that someone somewhere is attempting to unlock the secret of resurrecting people from the dead so that John Wayne can be brought back to life and then executed by the SJW mob. Fine. Whatever. That being said, when they finish kicking around Wayne's rotting corpse (assuming they can't figure out how to bring him back to life), I want them to do Che Guevara next.
To be clear, and to help ensure that I don't find myself being marched up the SJW guillotine, I denounce John Wayne's racism. I denounce his stupidity. I'll even denounce 1971 if that helps. However, and someone may need to let my family know that I love them and that I walked up the guillotine's steps bravely-ish, I do not denounce John Wayne's movies. That would be idiotic. And pointless.

First thing I thought about. Now there’s a media outlet reporting on a satire article from a satire website as if it were real news.
Idiots are everywhere.
The Bee article is satire; apparently, the playboy interview to which it refers, is real.
I’m surprised they havnt taken on the “I want to be a woman” skit from the life of Brian. Now there’s a real stab at the ridiculousness of the gender movement before there was one haha
Yes, the Playboy article is true.
But the whole thing about the left being triggered now is satire.

I LOVE that quote.
LOL! Now they know about it, they might decide to use it.
He was not a racist the way he is portrayed. He considered American culture superior, and that came via white European and Anglo-Saxon heritage. He was frankly biased that way.
And that explains why this “racist” married Hispanic women.
But we cannot have any nuances from the oh-so-nuanced left.
(Anyone who bravely opposes seditious communism cannot be all bad.)
I love John Wayne movies. I think I will buy another one...
... before Lex Luthor of the Amazon Post bans them all.
Filming The Green Berets, I assume.
One of my current favorites is:
“Wild West” by Runaway June.
The opening and closing lines cite John Wayne: “... or come in guns blazing just like old John Wayne...”; “... or go out guns blazing just like old John Wayne.”
Jennifer Wayne, the high voice in the trio’s tight harmony, is John Wayne’s granddaughter. She is very tall, and her cheekbones and jawline are like a very young Duke (c. 1935) from a half-side angle - when he was lean and hungry.
I hope she will not submit to any pressure to disavow him. Modern Country has become very infected with political correctness.

Yep, and it’s a damn shame. I can no longer stand to listen to most of it nowadays.
“Homomisia” is the sciencey term that describes most people accused of having a phobia about it.
