It shows you how racist we American's are when you look at our hero's and the entertainment industry.Take a look at John Wayne. I was at work the other night, and there was this John Wayne movie on about the white man defeating the Indians, setting up an outpost settlement, and then killing them all over again and driving deeper and deeper into Western territory. John Wayne was the general war hero of the movie. The obvious questions were never asked during the movie. Questions like, "Why do the Natives deserve to die?" "Weren't they here first anyway?" "Do we have any more right to this land then they do?" "Don't they have a right to fight us when we are trying to commit genocide against them?"I'm outraged that movies like this are still played on television everyday and considered classics.

Do you assume that just because a land gets taken over, its people are brutalized like you European savages? Why are you comparin Spanish colonialism to the Islamic caliphate of Cordova. Your statement is incorrect, and the insinuation u are making is wrong,
birth of a nation is considered a classic by damn near every black film critic and it's by far a billion times more racist than any john wayne movie......what makes a movie a classic isn't only it's message. hell if we're going to ban jon wayne movies from being shown , lets not show the godfather because they say " sell it (drugs) to the niggers, they're animals anyway" lets not show gone with the wind cuz of Mami............LET"S ONLY show the color purple, X, and roots.
How about responding to Shallows post?
Quote from: Woodrow on March 01, 2005, 10:49:59 PMHow about responding to Shallows post?He won't respond because he has no argument. And when he has no argument he ignores the post and starts a new thread like he never even read my post to begin with.Also, I'm not sure how Christians were treated in Spain, but in Greece they were forced to send their children to Muslim schools and banned from learning Greek or Christianty. The Greeks had to develop underground schools and churches to keep the culture and religion alive for 400 years.
You don't think he ever had to kill or order executions on any innocent men? What makes those actions any different than John Wayne being praised as a hero even though he killed Indians in a movie?
If you really think that no innocent people had to die in all those battles Muhammed and his army were in then you are dilusional.
