Facts didn’t matter to hitler and the gang either.
“Progressives” are totally incapable of analytical thought. They believe what they are told.
I ain’t noways tahrd of that song!
My father spent his life working with the Navy to keep our nation safe from Stalinist/Maoist communism. We are now living in the nation he gave his life to ensure we would never become.
To misquote Henry II, who will rid us of these meddlesome priests of PC?
Because some people sang some songs.
If Paul Robeson recorded it, it was definitely satirical. He wasn't going to be recording racist stuff, no way.
Though I live in Michigan, I guess I must be more Southern at heart.
This PC nonsense has to give.
And I do mean the whole notion of “discrimination” has to along with it. It’s become absolutely absurd, and once again, the commies of this country are destroying our culture. They can blow.
Both Kate Smith and Paul Robeson were known for their patriotic songs, but their patriotic loyalties diverged. Kate Smith sang of her love for America while Robeson, a Stalinist slavishly devoted to the Soviet Union, performed such Stalinist anthems as Native Land and From Border to Border, both from 1942.
It was God Bless America they had to stop.
And not one statue of Senator KKK Bryd has been removed in WV . How utterly awful and hypocritical!
So the New York liberalscenti think Paul Robeson sang a racist song? That Robeson was racist?
Who controls the past controls the future.
Liberals have no sense of humor or irony and thus are unable to recognize satire. Pretty pathetic really. It would be sad except for the fact that they are extremely dangerous.
I wonder if Yankee (wait, isn’t “Yankee” racist?) Stadium plays Michael Jackson songs such as “Beat It” which is probably his tribute to pokin’ little white boys?
Biden, Clinton and Obama were all against Gay Marriage before they “evolved”.
Why aren’t their past positions as Haters held against them?
People can’t get the sarcasm in it.

If the PC NOT SEES would research a little more, they would realize that song “That’s Why Darkies Were Born” was originally done by Paul Robeson and was actually critical of prejudice and segregation. But why let facts get in the way when getting offended for the sake of getting offended is so much more fun and profitable
Thanks for for posting that remark
Smith teamed up with known black communist Paul Robeson on some of that material. Which if examined was exposing racial difficulties experienced by blacks. Typical of the use of Perverse Cliometric tactics used by the left when it’s
presented as being politically correct to fit their distorted perverted revisionist views.
I just went to youtube and listened to Paul Robeson’s (who is black) version. I suppose it is racist because it is about race. But it is really about making the best of whatever situation you find yourself in.
