I know, it's ridiculous. He made a racist statement back when he was about 30.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”
― George Orwell, 1984

Wake me up when this nightmare is over.

manaboutown 06-27-2020 06:45 PM

To the locals it will always be John Wayne. It is the only airport of which I am aware that has three names, Santa Ana, Orange County and John Wayne. I love the John Wayne statue there.

Actually California does not want to change the name. A radical faction wants to change the name and has wanted to do so for a while. They are trying to take advantage of the current craziness and appeasement climate. They want to stick it to decent society while they can.

Changing history, wiping out anything that doesn’t fit the current political agenda, is exactly how Communism works. I can’t believe it came to the US. I wonder if their method of enforcement is next?

Chi-Town 06-27-2020 10:14 PM

Well, he did have a dim view of Native Americans in The Searchers and definitely anti Mexican in The Alamo.

Two Bills 06-28-2020 03:36 AM

I think the name Orange County should be changed as well.
To all those people who use fake tan, and lay under sun lamps, it can be very offensive and demeaning, to see/hear the word Orange!
OPM! :icon_wink:

Apparently John Wayne said he didn’t feel guilty about slavery; he made disparaging remarks about Native Americans and he also made homophobic remarks. Trying to establish a new US where discrimination has no place.

Do you feel guilty about slavery? I don’t.

Our foreign enemies will conquer us without firing a shot. They gleefully watch America destroy itself from within.

Agree!!!!

Nannyof3 06-28-2020 06:00 AM

The comments in question come from a 1971 interview with Playboy Magazine in which Wayne stated that he believed in white supremacy and did not “feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago, these people were slaves,” as reported by the Los Angeles Times.

“I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated to a point of responsibility,” Wayne had said. “I don’t believe in giving authority and positions of leadership and judgment to irresponsible people.”

Wayne also used a homophobic slur in reference to the movie “Midnight Cowboy” and made derogatory statements about 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,” Wayne said. “There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves.”8

Instead of just emotional outbursts, a link to the facts to put everything in context and to see who/why (and the actual numbers) of those who are calling for this...would be much appreciated. :ho:

bluecenturian 06-28-2020 06:15 AM

When have we reached the absurd and ridiculous.

Yale University was named for Elihu Yale. You will be quite surprised to find out about his character but yet the elitist have a university named after him.

Harvard And Princeton have a shocking history of its University presidents. Michelle Obama and Sonia Sotomeyer are alumni, are they in favor slavery for going to an institution who’s presidents were slave owners.

Columbia University is named for Christopher Columbus, we all know how “horrible” a person he was.

Cornell University was named for Ezra Cornell, a Quaker. We are told they are evil.

Dartmouth named for William Legge, 2nd earl of Dartmouth. He promoted the career of a notorious slave trader into the Anglican ministry.

Brown University named for Nicholas Brown, Jr. who was an adamant defender of slavery.

Harvard acknowledges slave connections | Harvard Magazine

Slavery and the Brown family: an alternative history

I’m waiting for them to protest and remove the names.

Totally agree with you. From the sublime to the ridiculous. Let's face it, and be honest: We've ALL made a racist statement, or two, at one time or another in our lives..........even the blacks. So, are all to be black balled? Opps, excuse me. I think I just offended someone.

I have seen this before in Cuba 1960 Through 1962 when Castro declared itself Communist, attacking the history, taking down statues and rewriting history, Fomenting terror and establishing block committees to report on their neighbors Cubans at that time said “it won’t happen here” well it did and those that did not escaped suffered tremendously with shortages of goods, ration of food, Communism is harsh and a totalitarian regime. I hope not, but I am ready is it does!!!!!!!!

Things change...get over it. Cape Canaveral was once changed to Cape Kennedy in honor of his push for space exploration, then changed back to Cape Canaveral. The reason I heard was because locals didn't like Kennedy, a Democrat, and so it was changed back. Jeesh...does it really matter if John Wayne airport changes its name?

Ah white guilt. Isn’t it wonderful. I don’t know why they stop there. I’m sure many white Neanderthals attacked and killed other Neanderthals. Feel guilty? Ah the white Romans tortured and killed in the coliseum. If you want to feel guilty about things you didn’t do I’m sure you can find many things to choose from. Do you think the murderers and rapists of today feel guilty? So why would anyone feel guilty over something they didn’t do? I’m sure some will say “you’re missing the point”.

Does it really matter if they change their name, probably not. People will still fly in and out of it. I think you are missing the point here. How many things and names are we going to change to make everyone happy. I am not so young anymore and in my lifetime I don’t know anyone who has actually been a slave. How far back are we going to go to rewrite history. The beginning of time! Taking down statues and changing names of everything under the sun is helping no one. If anything, it’s creating a divide. America must be the joke of all those countries who would love to see us fail. I can just hear them now sitting around their Presidential meeting laughing at us saying do you really need to worry about America, not anymore. They are destroying themselves from within and need no help from outside sources. God bless America!

This is an over reaction, pandering decision by idiots. It's being based on an interview in 1971 with Playboy magizine. I challenge someone to say "in the past 50 years" I have never said or done something that doesn't meet today's "standards". I can't change the past, I can control today and hopefully help the future

Agreed. Not much news about the signs posted reading "Kill all white people".

I notice that all those who were NOT SLAVES want reparations from people who were NOT SLAVE OWNERS. Yet, they want to remain in this country !! How about we give all those who want unjust reparations from those who did nothing to them a FREE RIDE back to the dark continent and call it even.

[waiting now as my account is suspended or deleted] who cares.

This is what happens when their is no moderation, they go to far, both sides do this, theirs is no common ground. The problem this time is Russia maybe the big winner.

toeser 06-28-2020 07:28 AM

If we are serious about this, it's time to change the names of New York and New York City. Both were named after the Duke of York, one of the worst slave traders in history. He was responsible for a high percentage of the slaves brought to America. One cannot be too woke. Let's get this done.

billethkid 06-28-2020 07:37 AM

It is nothing more than a test to see how far the minority and special interest groups can push with no resistance.


The minority groups continue to gain with the support of politicians and the amplification provided by the media.

They are willing to pay the price of crippling America......as long as the silent majority vision goes no further than their own back yard.

I have to say I'm a little worried about the rapid spreading of the virus so close to home.

As far as the name changes going on around America, it doesn't seem to bother me at all.

I'm not sure why it doesn't bother me but maybe at some point it will? I guess I'll need to see harm it causes before I get upset.

Bravo 👏.. if you destroy your past identity you start to change the character of your country.. then government controls your life ..

We are no longer a country ruled by law, order and common sense. We are a country ruled by the whims and political agendas of activists of every category. The tail is wagging the dog big time.

vonbork 06-28-2020 08:11 AM

If you have a southern accent you should voluntarily submit to speech reprogramming before you are forced to do so and the lines are long. After all, a southern accent reminds some of the South, which reminds them of the Confederacy, which reminds them of slavery, which indicates that you are a racist, and causes a micro-aggression. :-)
