That is blatant racism and imperialist agenda, trying to force the "just and civil democracy" upon our nation. We are under ZERO OBLIGATION to follow a conceptually racist demand. Why can't America and Europe understand this? They want to push for "civility" and "freedom?" Take a close look at your own history for the past 1000 years.
Captain Overcompensation strikes again! :rolleyes: (and the bits about insurrection don't really make sense when you copy and paste your comments out of context like this)
That was the biggest muddle of misdirected and irrational race-baiting and historical ignorance I've seen in quite some time.
A) political philosophy is not determined by race or vice versa
B) 1924 came before 1949
C) the majority of people, for the majority of time, in both 'da East' and 'da West' have been governed under Monarchies, so there goes the 'cultural imperative' theory right out the window
D) If any political philosophy can really lay claim to being 'Western,' it's Communism. That is the 'foreign' idea that infiltrated 'da East' at the cost of millions and millions and millions of lives. Your frustration is misdirected
You guys are tring to read into what Jackie meant?
Alas, how soon they forget. It's Jackie...:rolleyes:
