“I don’t want to enter into a serious discussion of about the
tearing down of monuments of historical personalities, but I
cannot omit mentioning how the liberal hypocrites condemned the
Taliban when they blew up the world’s two largest standing
Buddhas (one of them 165 feet high), situated at the foot of the
Hindu Kush mountains of central Afghanistan, in 2001. But the
very same people are now disturbed by statues of honourable
people whose only crime was to defend what all societies had done
for more than 5,000 years: keep a part of the population
enslaved. And thank God white people populated America, and not
the blacks. Otherwise, the US would look like Zimbabwe, which it
might look like one day anyway, but at least America enjoyed 200
years in the economic and political sun under a white majority. I
am not a racist, but the reality — no matter how politically
incorrect — needs to be spelled out as well. (And let’s not
forget that the African tribal heads were more than happy to sell
their own slaves to white, black, and Arab slave dealers.)”
UPDATE: I hope the boards of NovaGold and Ivanhoe follow suit quickly:
