RACE WAR THE PHILIPPINES INSURRECTION & RAGING VICIOUS DALLAS

Figure 1- This cartoon denounces the Balangiga Affair and Massacre. It has in the upper left-hand corner a quote by Gen. Smith to kill every person over ten years of age. What needs to be understood about the following articles in the Dallas Morning News (DMN) is that the editors of the DMN favorably received these letters send home by soldiers from Texas stationed there and assumed that the white people of Dallas would receive these letters with enthusiasm and consider the writers as heroes. These letters show the popular understanding and enthusiasm of Dallas for a race war against the Filipino peoples. The DMN owes the Filipino people an apology but given who the DMN is I don’t think it will happen. If the DMN printed one apology for their historical crimes, there would be a question about other things the DMN has done and there would have to be hundred or thousands of apologies and a database to hold them also. I am going to be content to making sure no street, school or other named place is named after their editors, publishers and other vile persons who had a byline on their pages.
