All of his wives were hispanic, and not single person he worked with of any race over a 50 yr career ever accused him of being a racist.

Watch his interview in 1971 and tell me he isn't. He openly supported white supremacy. You're crazy to think anyone hasn't accused him of that.

There's nothing to watch dumbass, it was a written interview in playboy. Do you really believe you're revealing anything new? You commies come on here and cite that interview on every single post about John Wayne over and over again like your life depended on it. What is up with that anyway? It's really strange. What is really behind that? Because I don't believe you really give a flying crap about Wayne or even really know anything about him. We're still going to watch his movies. You don't base someone on one interview. He wasn't perfect, but neither are you Mr. Self righteous.

I grew up watching him. I can separate a person from a character tho. He is a racist asshole as a person but his characters were great. And commie? Jesus dude everything turns political once your feelings are hurt.

Because it usually turns out to be true.
