Words mean things and word meanings are found in dictionaries.
So I looked up the word “socialist” in two dictionaries and there are no racial connotations in the word.
Conclusion: It appears to me that the Kansas City Star is promoting racial hatred.
Kansas City Star doesn't give a crap about race...they are puppets left over puppets from the KGB...commies killed MLK because he was trying to build a bridge between races through Christianity...can't have that. Religions are a big "no no' for fascist governments.
