Robeson was blacklisted for 5 years. Yikes. 1950 football yearbook deleted all references to him. Yes it was that bad. He was a dissident in an age that demanded conformity. How dare he ask Truman for anti-lynching legislation.
What a contrast between Donald Trump who articulates at a 7 year old’s level and Paul Robeson a Shakespearean actor of note amongst his many achievements.
There were plenty of people, including Dewey, who blamed Robeson et.al.
(from Wikipedia)
“It was not surprising to hear the gentlemen from New York defend the Communist enclave,” congressman Rankin
…
Representative Edward E. Cox of Georgia denounced Robeson on the House floor as a “Communist agent provocateur.”
…
The mainstream press and local officials overwhelmingly blamed Robeson and his fans for “provoking” the violence.
Funny how the same “blame the victim” has been replayed recently about Black Lives Matter protests.
How many times have I read in this forum “its Moms fault that ICE had to put her kids into such horrible cages”?
On another recent thread, “Its moms fault that a US citizen was held without charge for 3 weeks. She made us violate his rights.”
YAWN…More spin & trying to change the subject, plus as a bonus attempting to blame mass shootings on conservatives done mostly by lefties gone nuts.
FYI: You haven’t seen slaughter till the left finally gets a total gun ban or imposes socialism.
You can attempt to deny all that, but you do know that leftist/democratic party meetings, have infiltrators at every one of them? At the “Socialist democrat” meeting held recently the word democrat never came up, it was all socialism & Marxism.
There is no sensible gun control from the leftists.
Political correctness is a communist thingy. You don’t know history. So is shutting up opposition voices, and that is exactly what the leftist liar media is doing. I have been shadow banned on Fakebook.
Government run healthcare single payer is the commie way.
You brought-up guns in the OP so that’s on you. I’m spinning and changing the subject! You brought-up. The rest of your post is your usual crap. All BS.
Actually the left has been doing an ongoing Coup for the last 2 years.
Also socialism/communism IS anti-Constitutional & is the definition of overthrowing the country & the Constitution. Overthrowing the Constitution to set up a socialist or communist state is high treason & everyone involved deserves to be arrested & charged.
Really? Then why is a novice who never did anything in her life but tend bar until elected to office as a freshman with only a few months in office doing press conferences & one on one meetings with Pelosi such a big news maker?
Right now she wields a lot of power in the democratic party & everyone knows it.
Everyone knows she’s a far left extremist socialist kook too.
