Self - Host : [When Jackie Robinson testified before the House Un-American Activities Committee, he said something that was taken out of the newsreel. He said:] The fact that it is a communist who denounces injustices in courts, police brutality and lynching, doesn't change the truth of these charges. Just because communists kick up a big fuss over racial discrimination when it suits their purposes, a lot of people pretend that the whole issue is a creation of the communists imagination and talk about communists stirring up Negroes to protest only makes the present situation worst than ever. Negroes were stirred up long before there was a Communist Party. And will stay stirred up long after the party has disappeared. Unless Jim Crow has disappeared by then, as well.
