Paul Robeson Jr: Bush a Stalinist Neo-confederate

Paul Robeson, Jr., son of civil rights renaissance man Paul Robeson, delivered a
deliberate but passionate speech condemning the Bush administration and American
apathy toward human rights to a crowd of around 60 Dartmouth students and local
residents Thursday afternoon in Dartmouth Hall.

Robeson spoke in a calm, measured fashion for over an hour and delivered a polemic
message against President Bush, his administration and particularly the potential
American invasion of Iraq.


He was especially negative on the Bush administration's declared "War on Terrorism"
and the creation of the Homeland Security Department.

As a scholar of Russian studies, Robeson said that the Homeland Security Act was
modeled after a collection of documents authored by Joseph Stalin and that President
Bush "is part of a neo-Confederate government geared at destroying the Union."
