[Rhodes22-list] Politics continued - John misleader on W.E.B.DuBois

[Herb Parsons]

Is Japan a "colony"? Was that a "war of  colonization"? We were there a 
very long time. How about Germany? We're STILL there.

Of course they weren't. However, the use of stupid terms like "war of 
colonization" helps the anti-America rhetoric, so it's used. More power 
to you, but at least spare us the professions of innocence. What you're 
doing is very obvious.
