pls 10/10/19 1:36:06 PM #44:	AmericaTheBrave posted... pls posted... AmericaTheBrave posted... OctilIery posted... AmericaTheBrave posted... What's the endgame for these people? Probably to get people to stop celebrating racists. Horrible, I know. So we're just supposed to ignore his contributions to cinema because he might have been racist? What's wrong with simply saying he was a product of his time and while his views are reprehensible today, he's still an important person from the golden age of Hollywood? I mean we aren't going to put up exhibits praising the Nazi scientists who experimented on people, even if America did obtain that information so it doesn't go to waste. I think there's a difference between someone with unsavory opinions and literal war criminals. There is, but the point was that we wouldn't really put up something praising someone or treating them as a centerpiece of our institutions just because of some incidental contributions. John Wayne was a terrible person. You may have not known that (I didn't until I saw someone here mention what he said about white supremacy and googled to find out more). So why put him up as a statue somewhere? --- Do good. Eat communists. <cite>pls posted [p:928593778] in USC studen...
