This is my John Galt speaking cartoon

Hi,

Your thoughts about holding people Today accountable for the Past? I personally do not want to be held accountable.

John Wayne's opinion of Native Americans. September 4, 2005 5:55 AM The interview is reprinted in The Playboy Intervew (Wideview Books, c1981).
Here is the text of one answer about the Indians:

I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them if that's what you're asking. Our so called stealing of this country was just a question of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.

Look, I'm sure there have been inequalities. If those inequalities are presently affecting any of the Indians now alive, they have a right to a court hearing. But what happened 100 years ago in our country can't be blamed on us today.

John Wayne was wrong. :-)

He should have lived on the Pine Ridge Reservation for a few months before making that comment. It is exactly what John Galt feared would happen everywhere if the "control freaks" who run our socialist government had their ways with us. {notice how I re-railed there! }


They don't own their homes, so why should they invest in them.

NOTE: That is small garbage can size junk.

Hi,

I read this many years ago and it sickened me I Was a big John Wayne fan. Add his comments about black students, and you have a "Moron."

I don't own my mobil home either, but I do take pride in it.
There is no reason...poverty included to live & behave like "Trailer park Trash."
...
It's your Tax money that pays for my rent, Thank you.

When asked how blacks could address their perceived lack of leadership experience and the inequities of the past, Wayne replied:

It's not my judgment. The academic community has developed certain tests that determine whether the blacks are sufficiently equipped scholastically. But some blacks have tried to force the issue and enter college when they haven't passed the tests and don't have the requisite background. By going to school.

I don't know why people insist that blacks have been forbidden to go to school. They were allowed in public schools wherever I've been.
