FREEDOMWAYS FIRST QUARTER 1973

and with the national liberation movement of the oppressed peoples. There are also later writings from the book Capital and correspondence on colonialism and national liberation movements. This book On Colonialism plus Marx Engels's The Civil War [McGraw-Hill] edited by Saul K. Padover, William Z. Foster's The Negro People in American History [recently reprinted], Eric William's Capitalism and Slavery and Gus Hall's Imperialism Today [1972] refute those black nationalists in Black Scholar and Pan-Africa Journal who have not read these books but who ignorantly and falsely assert that racism is not tied up with capital class exploitation, that Karl Marx did not deal amply with the issue of black slavery and that Marxism cannot deal with racism. These nationalist should do their homework and stop making wild, undocumented generalizations that they want to believe and thus rule out all whites from the black struggle.)

(This book deals with pimps, prostitutes and Johns as do black writer Iceberg Slim's autobiography Pimp: Story of My Life [1967], Harold Greenwald's The Elegant Prostitute [1970] and Gentlemen of Leisure. Black people must face up to and fight these black pimps who hate themselves and have such contempt for black and white women including their own black mothers. We must not praise a pathetic book like Iceberg Slim's The Naked Soul of Iceberg Slim as Preston Wilcox did recently in Black World [May 1972] or include a section of Pimp in an anthology of black writing as William H. Robinson did in Nommo [1972]. Black pimps destroy with prostitution and drugs young, naive, black and white women and themselves as well.)
