gotta admire Robeson's dedication to the cause of Human liberation, he had all the credentials to be heralded by the US establishment as a great black role model if he just sold out. They could've easily molded Robeson's public image as some liberal like they do all other radical icons. Now he is basically forgotten and hardly mentioned as a Great Black Icon in the mainstream press. Out of all the people listed in rat Orwell's letter to the British Intelligence, him listening Robeson as "anti-white" really showed Orwell's racism.
