OK, let's suppose that EVERY member of the civil rights movement, without exception, was a card-carrying and publicly declared communist. What would this tell us except that communists can sometimes do righteous things?

"What would this tell us except that communists can sometimes do righteous things?"

Perhaps...

But supporting civil rights in America - wasn't a demonstration of their righteousness or "humanity", it was a wedge issue they attempted to hammer into a schism in America....

"Civil Rights" and HUMAN RIGHTS were unknown in much of the good ole "Soviet Union" of the big guy -- Joseph Stalin....

One can apply lipstick on a pig -- but on Communist pigs - it doesn't make them anything but a silly looking pig.

Even a broken clock - is correct twice a day...
The Communists couldn't even come close to matching that standard.
