Vincent Tan Quotes
Sometimes the British press is maybe a little bit racist.
Tan, Vincent. Interview by Dan Roan. BBC Sport, BBC, 20 Feb. 2014.
Describing the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People in speeches in the 1960's:
He was a brutal, sadistic war criminal who was assassinated by one of his many enemies in 2000 before he could be brought to trial.
Strictly anti-Islamic discrimination is not racism as Muslems are represented in every race and nationality in the world.
His reference was to ethnic Indians and Chinese living in Kenya and other countries of Africa. Asians are a minority group in African countries and the legally sanctioned discrimination against them is part of an ugly type of discrimination which still exists.
He was referring to the people of India and not the American Indians for who he also had little respect like almost any minority.
The law enforcement officers were the ones who broke the law when they beat and brutalized the peaceful civil rights marchers. The “white niggers” refer to the white marchers including clergy.
Theodore Roosevelt, became President when President McKinley was assassinated. One thing that he did was to have the Negro leader, Booker T. Washington to lunch at the White House. He had previously had Blacks in his famous Rough Riders. Although Roosevelt had not taken a public position in inter-racial marriage, in the South, and much of rest of the country, accusing someone of favoring miscegenation was as serious an insult as there was. The accusation was used to attack anyone who did not favor segregation, lynching and Jim Crow in the same way that people who favored Medicare or Labor Unions were called “communists”. Cardamon himself was the target of many for his disrespectful and gross description of the president. See Quotation
