This is about as ignorant a statement as anyone could possibly make, although doing as he advocates would serve as a wake-up call to America about how dependent we are, and what a great gift we would be giving our economic competitors.
According to Snopes.com , this was another Internet circular falsely attributed to a celeb, although the Statue of Liberty quip is his.
Hmm, a coworker told me this a while ago. Explaining it like he saw it during one of his standup routines. Could have been full of it I guess..
If we droped #10 and #7 I would like the plan!
I also smelled a rat as I read this. Any Hollywood celeb making statements like this would be blacklisted for a thousand years.
I agree with you Ron (wow). I've seen this before but it wasn't attributed to Robin Williams
I always loved Sam's crack about instead of sending the starving people in Africa food, we should send them luggage so they could move. Rationalizing that we have deserts in America too but we don't live in them.
As most countries in Africa are just desert where do you suggest they move to?
Ahhhhh.....
Many of the "7-11" owners as he so brashly puts it are hard working Asian Americans...well Indian-Americans to put it more accurately.
Hindus are not the terrorists and enemy within America...Muslims are.
So if he thinks someone who wears a turban is a Muslims...well he is sadly mistaken.
Sikhs wear Turbans. Sikhs hate muslims. why? they became sikhs from hinduism because they were sick and tired of the muslim armies killing all there people that did not convert. So instead of being lambs they choose to fight sword of Islam.
Horrible that people here do not know the difference between a Sikh and a Muslim. Thats like calling a Jew a muslim.
Williams is forgetting America is a country of emmigrants.
There is no such thing as an "American." Well perhaps if your were a Sioux, Cherokee or something then maybe. Then again these native Americans emmigrated from Asia too.
So for those white people that think they are 100% American (whatever that means) you think wrong your some kind of European mix...unless you have the historical knowledge to know your ethnic family tree.
What makes you American is not your skin color or even values. Its some kind of salad synthesis hard to explain.
I am just sick and tired of people neglecting the emmigrant strenght of the United States.
I am also sick and tired of people here and abroad automatically equating white with being American.
It is a slap in the face to all people that emmigrate here to become Americans only to have to re-defend there allegiance to the US.
White is not the only American color. Yellow, Brown, Black, Tan, Albino, etc thats is the true face of the US.
Under Robin Williams plan the US would be screwed out of many needed and educated hard workers to further benefit American power, prestige and the continuance of the american dream.
Stop by Ellis Island Williams and see those that sacrificed everything before you to come upon our shores.
