Guy would've made a great SBR poster:
In a 1971 Playboy magazine interview, Wayne makes bigoted statements against Black people, Native Americans and the LGBTQ community.
He said, “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.”
Wayne also said that although he didn’t condone slavery, “I don’t feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves.”
The actor said he felt no remorse in the subjugation of Native Americans.
“I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them. … (O)ur so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival,” he said. “There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.”

There's going to be a civil war if this continues and trust me, blacks and women will be left w ZERO rights and ZERO opportunity when it's over.Comment -
Wayne was an overt bigot. check it out. not only a bigot but a pretend hero, he had a chance to serve his country and did not. how many Hollywood actors did. Plenty, but not the man who was supposedly a huge patriot and a huge hero in most of his shitty films.
terrible actor, terrible person and he should not be honored. but you guys still want to honor Civil war traitors. some of you want a statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest in the middle of roundabouts in Southern cities. the guy was a criminal and one of the first wizards of the KKK. WTF?
many of those statues honoring traitors and killers were placed right after the Civil rights victories. It was just another slap in the face to people of color--yeah you got some rights now but here eat this every time you go to the grocery store, check out our heroes.Comment -
Wayne's qoute is directly from Woodrow Wilson when discussing whether or not Africa could self govern after WW1. Discussing the colonization of Africa Wilson reiterated that those "people are not advanced enough to discuss self determination and as such are better off under white colonization so far as I can see"
That's your 20th Century progressive
Coincidentally FDR, then Naval Secretary, was the chief negotiator in his absence along w Homes. Same sentiment.
Gonna tear down FDR/ WILSON stuff as well?Comment -
Well then you have to start tearing down black stuff and renaming black stuff they’re just as racistComment -
Lol I live 10 miles from john Wayne airport and will always refer to it as john Wayne because it's so burned on my brain lolComment -
Laker, you wrong about this. Obama did a lot damage to race relations. BLM came about during his presidency. Obama created a culture where our numbers spiked in terms of people seeing predominantly through the lens of race - everything became about race. Victimhood rose too.Comment -
Quote from Democratic Senator Robert Byrd:
I shall never fight in the armed forces with a negro by my side ... Rather I should die a thousand times, and see Old Glory trampled in the dirt never to rise again, than to see this beloved land of ours become degraded by race mongrels, a throwback to the blackest specimen from the wilds.
— Robert C. Byrd, in a letter to Sen. Theodore Bilbo (D-MS), 1944
In 1946, Byrd wrote a letter to a Grand Wizard stating, "The Klan is needed today as never before, and I am anxious to see its rebirth here in West Virginia and in every state in the nation." However, when running for the United States House of Representatives in 1952, he announced "After about a year, I became disinterested, quit paying my dues, and dropped my membership in the organization. During the nine years that have followed, I have never been interested in the Klan." He said he had joined the Klan because he felt it offered excitement and was anti-communist
Byrd became a recruiter and leader of his chapter. When it came time to elect the top officer (Exalted Cyclops) in the local Klan unit, Byrd won unanimously.
Now, the list of over 50 buildings, highways, bridges and state parks named after Robert Byrd. Not one of these namesakes are being targeted by the left even though they happened long after the currently targets by the far left extremists.

The year was 1989, another summer, and Public Enemy‘s Chuck D rapped the now iconic hip-hop anthem “Fight The Power” as part of the soundtrack to Spike Lee’s legendary film, Do The Right Thing. That PE track included the immortal lines, “Elvis was a hero to most but he never meant shit to me because he’s straight out racist. The sucker was simple and plain,” — to which, without missing a beat, Flava Flav added, “Motherf**k him and John Wayne!” This was 30 years ago.
And because I take Black musical and lyrical offerings seriously, I’m not surprised nor moved by John Wayne’s quotes because Public Enemy already told me to reject this sentimental white icon because he was not for me. Simple and plain. Hip-hop served as both entertainment and enlightenment, both my blueprint to the cool and the pedagogy that helped craft my dissonant, critical position with the mainstream. Because my brothers in Public Enemy challenged and implored that I reject these white symbols before I grow attached to something that hates me, which births a whole other type of deeply troubled Black adult that crafted their identity from white supremacist media and culture.
