#1 Sir Winston thought of himself as the "blacksheep of the family. Maybe this lad will come around in time. Follows are a sampling of Churchill's quotes. Still quite relevant I'm afraid:

"I do not admit... that a great wrong has been done to the Red Indians of America, or the black people of Australia... by the fact that a stronger race, a higher grade race... has come in and taken its place." -Churchill to Palestine Royal Commission, 1937

"(We must rally against) a poisoned Russia, an infected Russia of armed hordes not only smiting with bayonet and cannon, but accompanied and preceded by swarms of typhus-bearing vermin." -- Quoted in the Boston Review, April/May 2001

"What is the true and original root of Dutch [South African Boer] aversion to British rule? It is the abiding fear and hatred of the movement that seeks to place the native on a level with the white man...the Kaffir is to be declared the brother of the European, to be constituted his legal equal, to be armed with a political rights." -London to Ladysmith via Pretoria, 1900
