[1] The Negro Struggle and the Proletarian Revolution Two lectures by Dick Fraser November 1953 Delivered at the SWP Friday Night Forum, Los Angeles. Published in SWP Discussion Bulletin Number A-19, August 1954. Republished in In Memoriam Richard S. Fraser: An Appreciation and Selection of His Work, Prometheus Research Library, New York, August 1990. Lecture One: Race and Capitalism Not long ago a friend of mine with his family made an automobile trip to his ancestral home in the South. In a discussion of his trip I asked him how he got along on the road. He is a former official of the NAACP, a militant f ighter against segregati on and discrimination and knows the score just about any way he may be required to add it up. I knew that any incident which the southern Jim Crow sys- tem insisted upon bothering him with would be amply repaid. No, he hadn‟t any trouble to speak of. Only one small incident occurred at a gas station in the beau- tiful state of Arkansas. They drove into this gas station, asked the attendant to fill the tank and pre- pared to go to the rest rooms. The attendant told them gently but firmly that the colored rest rooms were around at the back. My friend put on his best dead-pan expression and in his most casual conversation al tone replied: “That‟s interesting. What color are they?” And while the attendant was gasping for breath and trying to keep from fainting, the family made its unhurried way to the regular rest rooms. This episode, small and personal though it may be, reveals two important truths which I will try to illustrate tonight and next Friday when I complete this discussion of the race question. First, it illus- trates the complete irrationality of the division of society into groups according to skin color. What my friend was saying to the gas station attendant was that to any rational human being there should be no more significance to differences in the color of people than to differences in the color of rest rooms, and that the fact that the attendant was the proprietor of rest rooms of different color was mildly interesting, but no more. But that contrary to all reason and logic, all of American society is disfigured by this artificial and fantastic division into races. Secondly, the episode brings to mind what the reaction of an ordinary European, unfamiliar with the American social structure, might be to such a situation. A naive Englishman or Frenchman might
