Well if the story at your link is true, it's a shame that communists had to play a role in getting the buses desegregated.

Indeed. In the 1930's and 1940's, the Communists were outspoken opponents of Jim Crow laws--not that they gave a hoot about civil rights, but rather, as a means to win blacks over to their cause.

As always, the issue is never the issue.

The issue is ALWAYS The Revolution.

The commies used the blacks, and turned them into slaves.
