Does John Wayne have some sort of moral high ground or something on the rest of the world that I am unaware of? He was just an actor. He was a swell guy and all but society moves forward regardless of what people think of the progress that happened while they were dead.

Um... why him? did you do some sort of random celebrity generator type thing and pick him?

is there anything from today's society that would be of particular interest to him?

Based on the little I know of the man, he was a super right-wing guy. He'd probably hate modern society.

Obviously, but what you're not getting is I was making my own point by answering.

Good news then!

The news that researchers have used cloning to make human embryos for the purpose of producing stem cells may have some people wondering if it would ever be possible to clone a person. Although it would be unethical, experts say it is likely biologically possible to clone a human being.

He'd probably think too many nergoes, gays, mexicans, and ching chongs. Don't think he cared too much about non-whites.

Easy. Look at Clint Eastwood. An that'll be pretty much as close if not the general idea of what John Wayne (if he were alive today) would think of things.

Considering he was a racist, he'd probably be disgusted at all the equality and such.

@black_wreath: I can only imagine the first clone would have to be Jon Wayne. Until we go to far and clone an army of Jon Waynes who take over the universe.

I don't think he was a racist; misguided, most certainly. His views on Native Americans was definitely obscure, but even then (from what i have seen) he didn't hold any ill will or animosity to any group of people.

This quote is in response to Playboy’s question of whether Wayne felt any empathy for Native American for subordinate roles in Westerns:

“I don’t feel we did wrong in taking this great country away from them, if that’s what you’re asking. 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.”

When asked about his own hiring practices, Wayne said that while he did not discriminate against black actors or crew members, he didn’t seek them out either:

“I’ve directed two pictures, and I gave the blacks their proper position. I had a black slave in The Alamo, and I had a correct number of blacks in The Green Berets. If it’s supposed to be a black character, naturally I use a black actor. But I don’t go so far as hunting for positions for them. I think the Hollywood studios are carrying their tokenism a little too far. …”

Now, this stuff is definitely cringe worthy, but hate speech? meh, i don't really see any hate in it. You wouldn't say a holocaust denier is anti-simetic, right? Their just ill informed/misguided, much like his views. but ignorance=/=racism

either way he prolly wouldn't like how things have turned out

"Oh Dear God, Italians are still making a comics of a character modelled on me? As their first seller? In the 2017???" [ see Tex Willer ]

I mean I could ask the same question about a person from the opposite end of the political views spectrum, let's say John Lennon. That doesn't put him on any higher of a moral high ground.

True Americans are trump supporters which he would be. (My opinion)

I find you incredibly wrong with this statement about the "True Americans" part, but you are free to think that. However I can picture John Wayne as a Trump supporter as well.

Not to derail the thread, but how are some Americans "truer" than others?
