"Secondly -- because he was a black man (and a very dark-skinned black man at that), he was disrespected and stifled in a society that in word, but not deed, rewarded those with the aforementioned qualities."

And by disrespected you mean being given a four year scholarship to Rutgers University in 1915. Becoming a twelve letter athlete excelling in baseball, basketball, football, and track and named to the All American Football team on two occasions. And being named a Phi Beta Kappa scholar and belonging to the Cap & Skull Honor Society, and being selected valedictorian of his class in 1919? Getting a law degree from Columbia (again on scholarship)?

And I won't even get into the endless plaudits, honors and moneny he got as an actor and singer.

Yeah, American society just scorned the hell out him! He would've gotten much better treatment in life in the USSR. LOL

You've done some research, it seems. So it won't be hard for you to answer this: Why didn't Robeson ever practice law with that well-earned degree?
