Hans navn nærmest rimer på den største amerikanske filmgenre; western-genren. Derfor var det planen, at d. 26. maj skulle gøres til officiel John Wayne-dag i Californien. Men den plan er nu droppet, fordi den populære film-cowboy angiveligt var racist.

Det er BBC, der skriver, at det republikanske forslag blev nedstemt i statens lovgivende forsamling med henvisning til et interview, som den nu afdøde skuespiller gav til Playboy tilbage i 1971:
”Jeg tror på hvid overlegenhed, indtil de sorte er uddannet til en vis grad af ansvarlighed. Jeg tror ikke på at give lederpositioner og dommerpositioner til uansvarlige mennesker,” udtalte Wayne dengang.
Derfor bliver der ingen John Wayne-dag, der skulle fejre den kendte western-skuespiller, der er kendt for roller i film som “Stagecoach”, “The Searchers” og “True Grit”, hvor han vandt sin eneste Oscar for hovedrollen i sidstnævnte, der ikke skal forveksles med Coen-brødrenes moderne genindspilning.

Jeg kan godt se at tiderne, 70´erne og nutiden, er svære at adskille.
Når det er sagt så var tiden en anden, og man kan ikke tage fra manden at han lavede nogle gode film. Jeg ser f.eks også film med Tom Cruise, på trods af hans hjernedøde tilslutning til Sientology (staveplade) eller film med Mel Gibson, på trods af uheldige udtalelser om jøder osv.. Nogen af os er bare svære at gøre fortørnede.
All lives matter.

"Jews were beaten in the streets, not by Nazi soldiers, but by their neighbours - even by children. I condemns all that Nazis did and stood for, but because history is edited, most people today don't realize, that to get to the point where Nazi soldiers could easily round up thousands of Jews, the government first made their own neighbours hate them simply because they were Jews. How is that any different from hating someone for their political views - left or right?"

2. Verdens klogeste menneske er højst sandsynligt ikke en sort, overvægtig, enlig mor.
Begge udsagn er sande.

Dette udsagn er sandt, og et fint tegn på hvor galoperende vanvittigt racisme-snakken er blevet

Rigtig god weekend til alle der vælger at holde John Verner weekend. Jeg prøvede selv at gense nogle af hans film for et par år tilbage, men måtte ret hurtigt opgive. Der er efter min mening ikke meget dybde eller spændende underholdning i dem mere – de har haft deres tid. Dog er Fords brug af landskabet den rene kunst og en nydelse at se. Der er langt mere spænding og nuancer i Clint Eastwoods spaghetti-westerns og ”Once apon a time in the west”, der kan genses igen og igen. Det tror jeg sgu at jeg vil hygge mig med i flyveferien :-)
