38. who's the bigger racist?

dscntnt: "If you will not fight for right when you can easily win without blood shed; if you will not fight when your victory is sure and not too costly; you may come to the moment when you will have to fight with all the odds against you and only a precarious chance of survival. There may even be a worse case. You may have to fight when there is no hope of victory, because it is better to perish than to live as slaves."

You cite that churchill quote as a sterling example to support the bielski partisans? Perhaps since churchill is justifying, to dscntnt, a preemptive attack on the russian & polish civilians which the bielski partisans attacked &/or killed &/or stole from?
In his tailing imperialist Churchill was moreso speaking of white englishmen* & anglo saxony, his own race, for winston churchill was, according to probably most knowledgeable historians, a racist, & to some an abominable racist.
*Note the lyric in rule brittania: Britannia, rule the waves! Britons never, never, never shall be slaves.

In 1937, {churchill}: "I do not admit for instance, that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America or the black people of Australia. I do not admit that a wrong has been done to these people by the fact that a stronger race, a higher-grade race, a more worldly wise race to put it that way, has come in and taken their place."
Churchill certainly believed in racial hierarchies and eugenics, says John Charmley, author of Churchill: The End of Glory. In Churchill's view, white protestant Christians were at the top, above white Catholics, while Indians were higher than Africans, he adds. "Churchill saw himself and Britain as being the winners in a social Darwinian hierarchy."

wiki: “I hate Indians. They are a beastly people with a beastly religion”. And also that Hindus were a foul race “protected by their mere pullulation [fast breeding] from the doom that is their due.” 1942 Leo Amery, Secr of State India.

"Churchill with no doubt at all was a fervent Zionist, a fervent believer in the right of the Jewish people to a state of their own" But he also "shared the low-level casual anti-Semitism of his class and kind",.. If we judged everyone of that era by the standards of 21st Century political correctness, they'd all be guilty." 1937 unpublished article - supposedly by Churchill - entitled "How the Jews Can Combat Persecution" was discovered in 2007. "It may be that, unwittingly, they are inviting persecution - that they have been partly responsible for the antagonism from which they suffer," it said. "There is the feeling that the Jew is an incorrigible alien, that his first loyalty will always be towards his own race." To his credit, churchill supported the balfour declaration (above), albeit waffling.

1943, India, then still a British possession, experienced a disastrous famine in the north-eastern region of Bengal - sparked by the Japanese occupation of Burma the year before. At least 3 million people are believed to have died - and Churchill's actions, or lack thereof, have been the subject of criticism... despite refusing to meet India's need for wheat, he continued to insist that it exported rice to fuel the war effort. "[The War Cabinet] ordered the build-up of a stockpile of wheat for feeding European civilians after they had been liberated. So 170,000 tons of Australian wheat bypassed starving India - destined not for consumption but for storage," .. Churchill even appeared to blame the Indians for the famine, claiming they "breed like rabbits". http://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-29701767

1931: "It is alarming and also nauseating to see Mr. Gandhi, a seditious Middle Temple lawyer, now posing as a fakir of a type well-known in the East, striding half-naked up the steps of the Vice-regal palace." John Charmley, historian "even to most Conservatives, let alone Liberals and Labour, Churchill's views on India between 1929 and 1939 were quite abhorrent."

1910, Churchill asked officials to consider sterilizing and preventing the marriage of people with mental illnesses and learning disabilities. "The multiplication of the feeble-minded is a very terrible danger to the race,"

Cracked me up earlier this campaign when trump lambasted robt byrd for past kkk involvement, then praised churchill & lambasted obama for sending a churchill bust (slt) back to england.
