(We should probably tell lurkers who may not know this history that a black militant communist group held a demonstration in Greensboro, NC two or three decades ago. They were met by alleged KKKers. A good handful of the black militant commies were carried away in body bags. I don't believe any of the shooters were ever caught.)

Thanks for clearing that up. I had no idea what you all were talking about.

November 1979. The Communist Workers Party (CWP) of Durham (!) had scheduled a protest march in Greensboro that ended up in a shootout with a KKK/Nazi group.

There was a trial of some of the KKK/Nazi people. The official verdict was "not guilty" all around possibly due to someone with the CWP firing first. The unofficial verdict was the KKK/Nazis were better marksmen than the CWP.

IMO Wikipedia is a little too sympathetic to the commies

"Massacre" indeed.
