How was the Civil War or Baseball or Jazz or his pieces on Mark Twain and Jack Johnson leftist propaganda?

Regarding Jazz and Baseball, he dwells on racism in American history in almost the same way the Communist Party of the USA did in the ‘40s and ‘50s. Making baseball legitimate by finally including black players is a disservice to the game and by neglecting the white musician’s contribution to jazz serves to perpetuate the myth that the black player has more credibility.
