No wonder NWO/Communist MSM never "fact checked" Our President when he'd say (pic related) at Rallies.

 

Recently saw something regarding Jackie Robinson called to testify against flaming Communist Paul Robeson – who has a U.S. STAMP and countless structures named/built in his honor - by the HUAC Committee:

(SEE # 34 of the 45 Communist Goals: 34. Eliminate the House Committee on Un-American Activities. https://archive.is/cgbDt )

 

Jackie Robinson was uncomfortable being pitted against another prominent black American, Paul Robeson, by the House Un-American Affairs Committee

 

….Robeson also toured Europe in the 1930s, meeting hostility in Nazi Germany, but greeted as a hero in Stalin’s Soviet Union. He was enthralled by communism.. Robeson’s support for Stalin’s Soviet Union was not a grave problem when he returned to the United States, particularly when the two countries fought together against the Nazis. But when the Cold War emerged in the late 1940s, Robeson declared, “It is unthinkable that American Negros could go to war on behalf of those who oppressed us for generations” against the Soviets. He raised the ire of both liberals and conservatives.

“It is unthinkable that American Negroes would go to war on behalf of those who have oppressed us for generations against the Soviet Union which in one generation has raised our people to the full dignity of mankind.”

 

Robinson was called to HUAC to provide a counterbalance. Robinson, a World War II veteran, didn’t buy into Robeson’s views on the Soviet Union. But he was uncomfortable being pitted against another prominent black American. His testimony was restrained (ended up speaking regarding Jim Crow), not the fiery Cold War rhetoric that some had hoped for. Robinson said that Robeson “has a right to his personal views and if he wants to sound silly when he expresses them in public, that is his business and not mine.” Robeson refused to attack Robinson as well. He castigated the HUAC committee, expressing disdain for a congressman supportive of the Klan and wondered aloud why Joe DiMaggio wasn’t asked to testify in defense of Italian-Americans.

In 1972, near the end of his life, Robinson concluded that if he had to do it over again he would never have testified against Robeson. https://archive.is/wip/1Zdyb
