John Wayne Interview

At the opening of this interview, I was a little amused at the answers that John Wayne responded with. From the jump I could tell that he was set in his ways and old fashioned. It's very obvious that he is closed minded from the comments that he made about gays, blacks, and Indians.

Even though I didn't agree with over half of the things that he said about blacks, but it's HIS opinion. It angered me about the things that he said about slavery, and the comparison, "It's just a fact of life, like the kid who gets infantile paralysis and has to wear braces so he can't play football with the rest of us" was total BS and hot even a comparison at all.

Also the statements that he made about Indians were even worse! I understand that he doesn't feel bad personally for the harsh treatment of the Indians, but at least have sympathy for the taking of their land. He makes everything seem as though it's a government issue and that it has nothing to do with him.

he himself is a self absorbed old fool. I And for him to not have sympathy for people who have been mistreated just because they are different, makes him even worse than those who did they injustices themselves. And he speaks about how Hollywood is out for money and for themselves. It is most definitely not perfect but it's way more diverse than it was when he was in his prime years.

The Searchers is... interesting but I am not a fan of John Wayne.
