This is what socialists do. They criticize anyone who has influenced Americans or that Americans consider an Icon. John Wayne was always a staunch conservative and he said what he meant and meant what he said. In regards to this statement, he was talking about the fact that blacks were uneducated at that time NOT that blacks could NOT succeed. Was there some racism there, maybe. But you cannot judge what someone says in the past when views were different by the standards of today!

America nearly 50 years ago was a very different place, and Waynes views were not that controversial at the time.

There has to be some hostoric perspective applied when considering peoples views.

Not when you're doing a culture purge, which I think perhaps may be the point the American left is at right now.

Nobody hates multi-culturism more than the right wing.

Why is multi culturalism or forced diversity important? Blacks are typically self segregating in the U.S. Do you want to force them to live with Whites against their will?

I think you knew I meant the left is trying to purge our American culture, not purge our society of other cultures, but in case you didn't, please consider this my clarification.
