Yeah....that "great thinker" gave us Lyndon Johnsons "Great Society" war on poverty program, one of the most expensive boondoggles in US history. Policies set in place by his admirers were largely responsible for the breakup of the black family structure and many other 'unintended consequences' of over-governance.
Good riddance.

JKG was a Professor from New England, which is to say he might as well have been living on an island in the Mediterranean somewhere. He had no personal experience of living with the people he thought he was helping, so he had nothing but his innate sense of paternalistic superiority to guide him.

Do I see some parallels to other people here who preach on about things they don't know first-hand, like multiculturalism? Nah :P

You know this particular situation far better than the Euro's do from 3000+ miles away.
I also find it interesting that they don't think we understand multiculturism when in fact we were living with it while they were still fighting wars with each other, with others including us cleaning up the mess twice in 50 years

ENOUGH
this thread is about one of the greatest thinkers of last century passing away.
If you agreed with him or not, it doesn't really matter, you can still respect someone you disagree with, and mourn their passing.
This is not a multiculturalism pissing contest.Juu nin to iro
English doesn't borrow from other languages. It follows them down dark alleys, knocks them over, and goes through their pockets for loose grammar.
