You start reading very many ~50 year old interviews and I suspect you will find a lot that does not line up with today's culture.
Considering the educational and other opportunities which have opened up for blacks since that interview, and the number of blacks who have worked their way up the political or corporate ladder by
becoming qualified, for the most part he was right. Few were qualified for national office. Those who were rushed into office based on skin color generally demonstrated that.
I happen also to think that despite the saturation of media with homosexual themes since then, it is still just as sick as it was then, as it was when Lot fled Sodom. If it was supposed to be a matter of a few people doing in their bedroom what they thought was right for them, why is it all over my TV?
Consider I'd probably be banned in the Boston of today, but for 1971, John Wayne was correct.
Only a complete ignorance of history can permit such nonsense as this latest hand wringing.
