Here we go again. A great man (John Wayne) being put down because he said things he believed in, I believe John Wayne had the ability to see things that a lot of others didn’t. Or didn’t want to. He spoke his mind and let others speak theirs. You know, I believe that … some people don’t want to hear the truth. Why? Well, simply put, they don’t want their illusions destroyed. ‘Not all, but some’. His son wrapped it up in just a few words:

“He wanted to work with people who earned their place,” Ethan Wayne explained. “He didn’t think anybody should get a job because he was a man, because she was a woman, because they were gay, because they were straight, because they were Chinese, African-American or Mexican. He thought you should get a job because you were the right person to do that job. Because you had skill and talent, and you would show up and get the job done. He didn’t care what you were.“
