That is all I read, besides news.
I am mainly interested in US History, Civil War history, WW1-present.
I don't have time for the fairy tales you want me to read

Obviously you don't. You have read about less events in history than people that would date you, which is to say, none. And I don't mean the history.

Nice try. Those black activists were openly Marxist and associated with known anarchists.

Robeson was. Let me know when you find W.E.B. Dubois, Elizabeth Wood, Hazel Scott or Hubert T. Delany's ties to communism. Racist shit.

Yeah, he did that in protest of the McCarran Act which forced Communists to register with the government. While he was politically socialist leaning, he condemned the CPUSA and supported the NAACP.

Conservative people; failed brains
Normal people; Researches trusted sites and textbooks, forms opinions based on actual factual evidence, and provides evidence.
The answer to the question is to go back to your rock.

I'm on my rock, thanks
Go back to your big city and burn and loot, or at least justify the behaviour of those who do.

Not on. Under. And as I recall, it was the conservatives that stormed the capitol.

Who's being held? Who's being charged? Who's been tried?

Exactly. This country is being controlled by corrupt conservatives, and you guys are to stupid to see it. It was covered up, and if there was any justice at all, they'd be in jail with trump and his cronies. For all the 'patriotism' that conservatives support, you really don't wanna help the country

Oh, now it doesn't exist, ok, whatever you say.
Last I checked we had a Democrat in the oval office.
