Some of us are socialists & not members of the Labour Party. We look elsewhere - for values, commitment and truth. I am a communist - not a "supporter of the Soviet Union", whatever that meant [it's a redundant concept, in my day-to-day life, of course - that's plain fact]. Mr Robeson shines bright as a fine example to us. I understand what the 'Manics' understand - we come from the South Wales Valleys and we know where the support has come from. for working people, over many decades.

Robeson should inspire more black pop culture and progressive movements, instead of stalemate retribution hardcore protest that dominates presently. As a white man inspired by a black man, current doctrine would have you believe that I'm not entitled to the above opinion as I'm white and non understanding of racial issues at the receiving end. I call BS and embrace the validity of true equality and opinion that Robeson inspires.

you have no right to be condemning a free man for his support of anything. he was not running your country, in fact he had to LEAVE your country to be able to follow his dreams of achieving HUMAN DIGNITY. You have no right to ask the man whose father was a slave, and who suffered emence racism to get a decent education, who or what he should support. how dare you? Who do you think you are? You are still not free if you have no room for political disagreement in our US constitution.

True. Britain, while encouraging democracy at home was oppressing her colonies. Most who looked to Soviet Union for support, were not really interested in communism, they just wanted to be free of colonial rule & to determine their own affairs. The USSR supported them with arms and education. Remember most of these countries had to FIGHT for freedom, it wasn't handed to them, and the USSR helped them to do so. Many blacks went to USSR to be educated when it was denied them in their own country.

So is America, and so are you for condeming a man for his political beliefs. Robeson lived in London for 12 years, where he met politicans who were communists and many of them joined the British labour party, the British labour party was born out of communist ideology as did the british labour union, and the British national health Service, the envy of the world. Many communist were voted into parliament as members of the Labour party, some were even Conservative. Were they dirty too.
