NEGRO RESOLUTION
Whereas, the negros of the United States because
OF their long training training in slavery and but
cent emancipation therefrom, occupy peculiar position
in the working class and in society at large;
sWhereas the capitalist class seeks to preserve this
peculiar condition and to foster and increase color pref
udice and hatred between the white worker and
the black to make their social and economic inter
ests appear to be separate and antagonstc, in ordet
that the workers of both may thereby be more
easily and completely exploited.
"Whereas Both the old political parties and eduoa-
tional and religious institutions alike betray the negro
his present helpless struggle against dsfrahchismen
and violence in order to receive the economic favors Of
the capltaistic class; be it therefore
Resolved, That we, the Socialists of America, in
National Convention assembled, do hereby assure our
negro fellow worker Of sympathy With him in his
subsection to lawesness and oppression, and also
him Of the fellowship of the workars who suffer from
the awlesness and exploitation of capital in every
ton or tribe in the world; be it further
"Resolved, That declare to the negro worker the
identity Of his interests and struggles with the interests
and struggles of the workers of all lands without
gard to color sectional nes that the causes
which have him the victim of social and political ine
quality the effects Of the long exploitation Of his
labor power that all social and preiudces spring
from the ancient economic which still endure to
the misery of the whole human family, that the only
line of division which exists in fact is between the pro-
ducers and the owners of the word-between capital
and labor; and be it further
"Resolved, That we, the American Socialist Party
invite the negro to membership and fellowship with us
in the world movement for economic emancipation by
which equal liberty and opportunity shall be secured
to every and fraternity become the order of the
worlds
