Mr. ROBESON: In Russia I felt for the first time like a full human being. No color prejudice like in Mississippi, no color prejudice like in Washington. It was the first time I felt like a human being. Where I did not feel the pressure of color as I feel [it] in this Committee today.

Also: black women are partly the reason why your pfp was not the first men on the moon. Just some random fun fact to get you to embrace your hatred against me even more :P

You mean the black women who the US paid like shit to do critical math for the space program? (Including basically inventing the field of orbital mechanics) Those black women?

Yes. I mean women who fought against segregation in the US. But you seem to not be getting my point, which is to bad and why I won’t be bothered to argue anymore with people who cannot seem to see the colour grey - if you were to get that metaphor.

While the US had Jim Crow the soviet union had made racial discrimation a serious crime. Listen to these fascists interrogate Mr. Robeson and think about the context of anti-segregation activism with regards to the space race.

I'm not sure why you think the fact that Black women turned out to be smarter than wasps would bother me, but you do you little buddy.
