Like most of the other people who have replied to this thread I am lost – I simply don’t know where to start. Given enough time I could probably counter every single sentance of that article but I simply can’t be bothered – sorry.
Instead I have decided to suggest something: Articles like this appeared regularly in the Soviet Union (I was lucky enough to be able to read on or two from 1949) and were rarely this blunt. I’m sure the North Korean Press publishes very similar articles all the time. Oh why oh why does the world hate us? Maybe they’re jealous of our rice production figures or of the wise way our leader can cope with any difficulty? Maybe its that they just don’t understand us? No, it must be just pure racist hatred, the ignorant capitalist swine – their intellectuals will burn in vats of acid for all eternity.
Also, I have a question, a genuine question (really, I mean nothing by this, I’m just curious):
When the constitution was written did the US still employ a policy of ethnic cleansing towards the native population? …Ok, more than one question: Was there still slavery when the constitution was written? Did, following the civil war (to make all the states bow to beautiful democracy) the US government still evict native Americans from their homes and send them thousands of miles across deserts or whatever to “reservations”? Closer to the present, when did the US government finally allow mixed race units in the US armed forces? WHen were leaders of ethnic minority causes (like Malcom X and Dr Martin Luther King) have to fight, sometimes violently, against the horrendous institutionalised racism?
These aren’t retorical questions, I’m genuinely interested and curious to find out the correct answers.
