‘ But we can’t all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of blacks’.
WESTERN STAR JOHN WAYNE , (1907-1979) real name Marion Mitchell Morrison, when asked about political activist Angela Davis’s claims that those who would revoke her teaching credentials on ideological grounds were discriminating against her because she’s black, John responded:
‘With a lot of blacks, there’s quite a bit of resentment along with their dissent, and possibly rightfully so. But we can’t all of a sudden get down on our knees and turn everything over to the leadership of 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 judgement to irresponsible people.’ The Oscar winner also expressed his support for the Vietnam War, hit out at liberals, and claimed the Black Panthers represented ‘a danger to society’. The actor died in 1979
In the interview, Wayne said that America did no wrong in ‘taking away’ the United States from the Native Americans. He said: ‘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.’ Upon Playboy’s publication of the interview in 1971, it caused huge controversy, with Wayne’s support of the war in particular making headlines. 1907, is the best known Western star of all time and one of the biggest US box office stars in history, starring in over 170 movies, including The Quiet Man, True Grit, The Searchers and The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance. He died in 1979 after battling stomach cancer. metro
