Racism stripe sets by John Wayne-day US

Plans for an official John Wayne-day in California can in the trash.

Congressman Luis Alejo was one of the people who voted against the proposal and thereby took a Playboy interview with Wayne from 1971.,, I believe in white supremacy until the blacks are educated enough that they can act responsibly, '' Wayne said at the time.

About the bloody battle with the original population of the United States, Wayne also had strong views.,, It was a matter of survival. Many people needed new land, and the Indians were selfish and wanted to keep it for themselves. ''

Republican Congressman Matthew Harper, John Wayne-day proposed, complained after the vote on the,, orthodoxy of political correctness. ',, Opposition to John Wayne-day is the same as resistance to apple pie, fireworks, baseball, free trade and Independence, '' said an exasperated Harper.
