An American journalist toured the Soviet Union in the 1930s. Everyone he spoke to proudly bragged about the USSR and its accomplishments. But some things seemed off. He asked about the mass starvation, and his handler explained it was because the kulaks destroyed their food to spite the people. He questioned why newspapers would one day say one thing, and the next denounce the same as counterrevolutionary. His handler responded, there was no difference, he's just misunderstanding the context. Finally he asked about political opponents mysteriously disappearing when they stood against Stalin.
Exasperated, the handler shrieked, "And you are lynching negroes!"
