    Sad when adults worship tv & movie personalities & think their persona is real.~
    It's even sadder when adults are offended by everything that is in our country's past.
    Common sense is not a gift, it's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone who doesn't have it.

    USC is a private college and you do not get a say, nor is it any of your concern, what happens on private property. It is up to students, alumni, and staff as to what statues they want on their campus.

    On the flip side, have you actually ever set foot on a college campus?

    John Wayne was a very outspoken man. But, just like in Donald Trump's case, you still have to be careful what you say, as you never know when someone is going to quote you.

    John Wayne made a lot of Racist Remarks to a lot of people. Most of which are dead now, but he was known for making racist remarks about Blacks and Indians in particular. These are just a few that he made all in one interview with Playboy Magazine:

    In discussing the revocation of activist Angela Davis' teaching credentials, Wayne said, "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."

    Asked about Native Americans playing subordinate roles in his movies, he replied, "I don't feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, if that's what you're asking. Our so-called stealing of this country from them was just a matter of survival. There were great numbers of people who needed new land, and the Indians were selfishly trying to keep it for themselves."

    When the interviewer requests an example of movies he finds perverted, Wayne singles out Dustin Hoffman and Jon Voight's characters in "Midnight Cowboy," which won three Oscars: "Wouldn't you say that the wonderful love of those two men in 'Midnight Cowboy,' a story about two f*gs, qualifies? But don't get me wrong. As far as a man and a woman is concerned, I'm awfully happy there's a thing called sex."

    On the matter of education in the African American community, he said, "Some blacks have tried to force the issue and enter college when they haven't passed the tests and don't have the requisite background. ... I don't know why people insist that blacks have been forbidden their right to go to school. They were allowed in public schools wherever I've been."

    Again on education, he said, "I don't feel guilty about the fact that five or 10 generations ago these people were slaves. Now, I'm not condoning slavery. 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. I will say this, though: I think any black who can compete with a white today can get a better break than a white man."

    On casting Black actors, Wayne opined, "If it's supposed to be a black character, naturally I use a black actor, but I don't go so far as hunting for positions for them. I think the Hollywood studios are carrying their tokenism a little too far. There's no doubt that 10 percent of the population is black, or colored, or whatever they want to call themselves; they certainly aren't Caucasian. Anyway, I suppose there should be the same percentage of the colored race in films as in society, but it can't always be that way."

    "Anarchism does not mean bloodshed; it does not mean robbery, arson, etc. These monstrosities are, on the contrary, the characteristic features of capitalism. Anarchism, or Socialism, means the re-organization of society upon scientific principles and the abolition of causes which produce vice and crime."

    Prob some truth in that............

    Ppl want change, putting statues in museums or dumpsters isn't going to make better schools~ it's a distraction @ best..

    I hear lots about riots & protests, nothing on how to bring about real change & improving the lives of Americans..
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."

    Well tell us then, what did John Wayne ever do to earn a statue?

    I don’t think I’ve ever seen a Cagney, Bogart, or Tracy statue, and they were real actors, Wayne ripped off umpteen cookie cutter films and only acted in three

    None of them went to USC. You don't have to like John Wayne but to many he was an American hero and he was a great Trojan. It's why the Cinema school celebrates him.
