Part of explanation (not justification though) is tendency & reluctance not to navel gaze at our own navel, but at the navels of others.

We sort of acknowledge that Jim Crow was that bad now. But don't acknowledge that yelling at Communists provided Jim Crow cover.

Then, as now, black men being killed extrajudicially wasn't considered "political" in the way Soviet repression was. Just dead bodies.
