I can not recommend this book highly enough! "Color, Communism and Common Sense" by Manning Johnson. https://amzn.to/3Fd8QSR
Quick read but Johnson tells how the Commies exploited the blacks to do their bidding in trying to take down America.
"The placing of the repository of everything right and just among the darker races is a dastardly Communist trick to use race as a means of grabbing and enslaving the whole of humanity."
and
"Evidently, fear and distrust of the Negro is rampant in Communist party ranks because '..newspapers reported a case of rape, some of the white women in the Party began to develop the idea they should ask for police protection'.
Even the despised "tools of the capitalist system (the police) are good to have around at times, say the comrades."
Ed McQuarrie talks the REAL History of Stocks and Bond performance.
