PLAYBOY: You blame all this on liberals?
WAYNE: Well, the liberals seem to be quite willing to have Communists teach their kids in school. The Communists realized that they couldn't start a workers' revolution in the United States, since the workers were too affluent and too progressive. So the Commies decided on the next-best thing, and that's to start on the schools, start on the kids. And they've managed to do it. They're already in colleges; now they're getting into high schools. I wouldn't mind if they taught my children the basic philosophy of communism, in theory and how it works in actuality. But I don't want somebody like Angela Davis inculcating an enemy doctrine in my kids' minds.


Give this a read. Even the Duke dying of cancer knew we were fooked.

PLAYBOY: Indians today are still being dehumanized on reservations.
WAYNE: I'm quite sure that the concept of a government-run reservation would have an ill effect on anyone. But that seems to be what the socialists are working for nowto have everyone cared for from cradle to grave.

I have been watching (and posted here at TA) about a series of shows about Vietnam. One 30 min episode was JW and a wounded Green Beret. They were just showing no mercy on liberals and there love affair with communism. It was just brutal.

PLAYBOY: Contrasting the America you grew up in and the America of today, is it the same kind of country, or has it changed?
WAYNE: The only difference I can see is that we now have an enemy within our borders fighting with propaganda and coloring events in a manner that belittles our great country. But all in all, it's practically the same.

Well it did take over 60 years for someone to find the quote.

Here in SoCal, they dredge this article up every 5-10 years in an effort to try to rename Orange County's - John Wayne Airport.

Ha. There are male officials that warrant a slap -- in the style of the Moe slapping Curly for idiocy type.

We'd be speaking Japanese today if that generation was made up of more like him.

Interesting interview where they talk about that interview. Interesting to see the class from Hollywood progressives of that time. They didn't see eye to eye, but great respect.

I would love to hear Wayne discuss pregnant men and trans athletes smashing female records.

The first steps to return this country to its once great status are:
1) Reformation of our education system
And
2) Reformation of the media

Those two things happen and the problems with our politicians takes care of itself.

PLAYBOY: Angela Davis claims that those who would revoke her teaching credentials on ideological grounds are actually discriminating against her because she's black. Do you think there's any truth in that? WAYNE: With a lot of blacks, there's quite a bit of resentment along with their dissent, and possibly rightfully so. But we can't all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of the blacks. 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.

That's quite a statement. I wonder what would happen if someone said that in a magazine interview today.

Good to know that only a bit of white supremacy is acceptable.

Marion Morrison also smoked 5 packs a day, started drinking at noon and married only Latinas.

Not many people do all three...

Go ahead and web search 'Marion Morrison', kid.

My mom worked for a lady whose husband was a custom bootmaker out in Lubbock. According to her, JW had really small feet for a man his size. He wasn't so much swaggering as he was just trying to maintain his balance.

FWIW - Mom's boss & hubby were black and thought the world of JW.


ETA - got a wild hare and googled their name and found this article from last year:

Quote:

Willie Lusk, the expert bootmaker of Lusk's Boot Shop, was honored last month at the Texas Tech Museum. Pairs of his boots were on display where visitors could see and learn about Lusk's story and craft.

Lusk grew up in San Angelo, Texas, but eventually moved to Lubbock in October of 1946 to start his own boot shop located downtown. He was one of the first African American bootmakers who became successful due to white customers and eventually grew to make boots for well-known public figures like Shirley Temple, Merle Haggard, and former president Ronald Reagan.
Didn't mention John Wayne, but this was the bootmaker

I'll read between the lines here for those who can't. Rather than literal white supremacy the Duke felt affirmative action should never happen. All these years later look at the freakshow the current admin has installed everywhere you look. Man what a winning cast FJB has installed.

It would take a special kind of idiot to not understand what he meant.
I don't think you know me.

It's going to take very hard times for society to pivot.
