Winston Churchhill a Monster?

I've heard of this before? Is there anyone out there that knows anything about this?

I knew Churchill was a dick and less than tolerant when it came to other ethnicities, but geeze.

Anthrax bombs and this:

"I do not agree that the dog in a manger has the final right to the manger even though he may have lain there for a very long time. I do not admit that right. I do not admit 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, has come in and taken their place."

-Winston Churchill, 1937

I found out about this about 7 years ago. Churchill was an advocate of eugenics. The difference is that Churchill kept his views away from the public, whereas Hitler was open about it.

Never heard that one.

Lets hope that kind of thinking goes the way of the dinosaur.

He seems to have confused 'having technology' as being 'advanced society'.

It isn't technology that makes a people 'great'. It's the people. The only thing Britain ever had over anybody was ships and weapons.

So it was a genocidal bastard fighting a genocidal bastard. That shatters some myths...

I wonder....if not for the Axis threat, could Great Britain have turned facist like several other European countries?

Less amusing is the number of intellectuals, businessmen and political leaders who gave eugenics their blessing or fervid support. The list begins with Darwin, who in The Descent of Man praised his cousin Galton and decreed that genius "tends to be inherited." Other champions included the young Winston Churchill ...
