Reinhold Niebuhr, Racist

Apparently Reinhold Niebuhr was.......ahhh........not enthused about Latin Americans.  He's that guy with the "First they came for the socialists, and I did not speak out/ Because I was not a socialist" quote.

He didn't mention South Americans because it appears he was coming for them.

Scroll down a bit, past the material about Ms. Cordelia Scaife May (Mellon Bank) and go to the photocopy of the NYT advertisement.  Yup.  Right there in the "signature" section..........along with Jimmy Cagney and Harold Bostrom (Bostrom Seating, Milwaukee).

Who knew?
