Comment from a reader on "Misplaced Nationalism Or Pure Corruption?":
Philippians? Wow! Nice ring, can't wait for my "Philippian" asawa gets home so I can spring this one on her. While the author was quoting American presidents, wonder why he/she didn't include that of William Howard Taft, who told President McKinley that "our little brown brothers" would need "fifty or one hundred years" of close supervision "to develop anything resembling Anglo-Saxon political principles and skills."
This was not considered at the time to be a racist comment. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
