"Here I am not a negro but a human being for the first time in my life."

Here is a man who was lionised wherever he went in the world but could not live freely in his own country. He sang in my home town once and people queued for days in order to see him. I love this picture.

RIP Comrade.

"In 1915, Robeson won an academic scholarship to Rutgers College. While at Rutgers, he was twice named a consensus All-American in football and was the class valedictorian. He received his LL.B. from Columbia Law School while playing in the National Football League (NFL). After graduation, he became a figure in the Harlem Renaissance with performances in The Emperor Jones and All God's Chillun Got Wings."

Well, there's a reason we did away with Jim Crow.

You're holding up an example from 70 years ago. Things weren't good for blacks 70 years ago.

Britian is a very racist place, you know it is.

Has it been sorted though ? Mitch was talking about African Americans being just like proper Americans last week.

Bobby Bollox disagrees with me but doesnt have the gumption to be able to say why. Its probably because his cult hates black folk and he thinks Jim Crow was about right.
