Soviet Tourist Describes US Deep South

It's the pot calling the kettle black. The Soviet Union had literal slaves in their gulags at the time (not to mention the 20 million being murdered by Stalin as conservative estimates count them). What was happening to the blacks in the Deep South in the time of Roosevelt happened to every Soviet citizen under Stalin and every citizen in that Godless hellhole until its collapse, so I cannot take any criticism from a Stalinist seriously. If the Stalinists were criticizing Hitler, I couldn't take them seriously. Yes segregation and racism at the time was evil and I'm glad it ended far before my time but a Soviet sympathizer has absolutely no place from which to throw stones. 

I'm sorry Clovis but your comment is not correct becouse :
This text is taken from classical literature  Text taken from 'Revival: Little Golden America' (1944) (Routledge Revivals) by Ilya Ilf and Evgeny Petrov.

Ilya Ilf  famous Jew  liberal(because they people are associated with liberalism).

Anyway if a Soviet citizen from 1930 years describes the situation in another country as somewhere worse than his country , then he had reason to think so. For example the Third Reich.
I am not supporters of Stalinism, and other human ideologies in -ism-, but people need to be as objective as possible for some things. For example, the USSR after the 1950s was relatively free, for example, free housing for everyone. Could this be the case in "democratic" capitalist states. In any case, the remark about slavery in the USSR is incorrect in this case . 
Yes there were downsides in the USSR... but apparently the western man in the street does not understand the whole situation .. because he thinks colonialism . Such a mentality of colonialism as the segregation blacks in the Southern states is absolutely unacceptable for many countries of the Old World. (Eurasia)
Looking at the latest 'free and democratic' elections in the United States, we remember the Soviet propaganda from the newspaper 'Pravda'(The true).
It turned out everything that the communists wrote about capitalism is true. Time has proven it! 

Finally, we will hear what people from the West thought about the Soviet Union in this song:

Obviously, you haven't figured it out yet. The bottom line is that you are convinced that someone is a Stalinist, although the situation is not easy.Ilf and Petrov wrote anti-Soviet texts, and the Stalinist regime censored them....you just didn't like the criticism of the South. 
In General, their views coincide with those of Mark Twain .In the South, they were perceived as New Yorkers.

This book should be noted as a very significant work.
Americans and America would gain a lot if they thought about these
observations.

Not many of our foreign guests were so far removed
from Broadway and the Central streets of Chicago; not many could tell their
impressions with such vividness and humor.

This is one of the best books written about America by foreigners.
It is a pleasant but sometimes restless task to rediscover America through the
eyes of the authors of this book.

Ah yes. Ironically most of the racist eugenicist nonsense came from the North in the Greater New England area among Harvard intellectuals. The Old Stock Anglo Saxon Protestant people there were being joined by new groups of Jews, Eastern, and Southern Europeans that they considered inferior to, "Nordic" Northwestern European peoples they called the, "American race stock." Eugenics was seen as progressive and in line with the latest science.

We did have eugenics in my state of South Carolina but it seemed to be aimed at the mentally retarded and mentally ill rather than at the large black population which they were content to keep as a subordinate caste. muse.jhu.edu/article/3720 All of this is repulsive of course and it does seem strange that Christians would support such measures as Jesus Christ himself would never supported them. However general cultural forces beyond religion contributed to these atrocities. It's like in the Muslim world where there are honor killings. The honor killings do not come from Islam but from the pre Islamic clan dynamics of the Arabs.

Regarding eugenics, I don't think that the idea has completely left the Western world. Iceland not too many years ago bragged that through abortion it had eliminated Downs Syndrome from its population. Also it was also interesting to see that eugenics in the United States was not confined to the white population. W.E.B Du Bois and a few other black leaders thought that the lesser strains of both races should be sterilized and the top tier of both races should mix together to create a superior mixed race population. They hoped that through eugenics they would breed out the "moral iniquity" of their own race.

Yes, this practice is barbaric. I have aspergers syndrome and I was very inconvenient at times to my parents and to many people in society. Just because someone is inconvenient  doesn't mean the parents or society has the right to kill them. They deserve the gift of life just as anyone else does.
