(53,661 posts)121. Ever notice how RWers always label African Americans as Socislists or Communists?

Although MLK, Jr., for example, was against Communism (but no fool about capitalism) but he was called a Communist and still is by the Birchers, like Obama?
Are blacks genetically Commie, is that what they're saying? Exactly what political affiliation did blacks have before Marx, Lenin, Trotsky, etc?
Blacks have been in America long before those guys were born. And how can they be anti-American when they were here way, way before 1776?
Something don't make sense here. Inquiring minds what to know so we can go forth and raise hell.
