Chose who own the means of production, who control the the society have always been able to pit Black workers

against white workers, and white labor against Black labor. It's not because they don't like us, they keep up racial discrimination for the $^4-0 Billion profit they can get every day for the systematic exploitation of Black, Puerto Rican, and Asian workers, That money don't go to all the white people, it goes to the Rockefellers and the Mellons, We see that the problem of Black workers is tied to the problem of all Third World people, and to all working people.

There are ine million Black workers eaming three thousand dollars a year less than white workers, and that means three thousand dollars a year moro for the bosses; and because Third World workers are underpaid this keeps all wages down.

THE FOLLOWING ARE EXCERPTS FROM A SPEECH PRESENTAD AT THE WORKERS CONFERENCE OF MARCH 10 AND 11 IN NEí "ÍORK BY DAN BROWN, MEMBER OF THE CENTRAL COMMITTEE OF THE

What is at the root, irtiat is at the heart of racial dis crimination? At the heart of the problem of working

So racial discrimination is not just a problem of Third world people , its a problem of all working peop le. At the root of it is 8uper--exploitation;all working people are robbed every friday, or every two weeks, but

HLACK WDRKERS CONGRESS,

in the U.S. lies racial discrimination, you can't sepárate the two.

In the early 1950's KLack people in the H.S, led an

intense struggle against "inferior and segregated education, I*m snre we all remember little Rock, Arkansas .and the

tremendous struggle that went down; 1955 1956 saw Montgomery bus boycott. In the deep south in 1960, we saw the voter registration drive, sit'-ins, freedom rides, and demonstrations against racial discrimination. During this period we were involved in all kinds of struggles. Many people who tried to vote were thrown off their land, so we set up the tents and we had tent cities in three or four places. We moved to independent political parties and freedom organizations; we won some elections and we lost some, most iirportantly we continued to struggle. In

the cities in the south we struggled against discrimination in hiring and in housing.

Then came Black power; in essence the Black power

movement meavit that Black people wanted some kind of power over uheir own lives. At first we thought that if we could int .^rate inte América that we cotald solve

the problem.

At the buUs

eye of the attaok , the wage price

freeze part ene, part two, part three; are Black and third world people, it is the Black worker who has to tighten up the most, In order to find the sOlution to end racial discrimiBation we don't have to really look too hard, you oan't sepárate the problems of working people from the problems of racial discrimination, for instance: who is it that is hurt most by speedups in th auto industry, third world people. What is the solution?

You can fight irtth the wh^te worker, but what would tha t get you, he is affected hy / the same pmblem. So we think that one of the solutiona ie olass solidartiy. Víe are talking about unity on the job in order to fight; and look who is at the heart of that fight, thirdR world workers, Always at the time of crisis we need working people to get together, We want white workersttedubdeirstand that raciri discrimination is not somebody else's problem, it is a .the heart of his problem, There' are not two econoraic systems, .there is just one. there is only one Rookefeller, one Morgan, and one Nixon, and I

Just what is racial discrimination? It has to do with

the probem faced by all Third World people everyday, but we would like to focus- in the problem of Black workers; but that can*t be separated from the general problems of American society. It is the problem of who owns and controls the means of production.

The boss pays you once a week or once every two weeks, and then out of that you get a token and a hamburger; enough money to go home, a hamburger and maybe enough

It isn't just workd, it is 150 years of working people struggling to be free. We base oursolves on a philosophy that shows us what is our eituation and what is the way out, Brother Malcolm said • a ehicken can't lay a duck egg"Under the present system anerica can't solve the

problem of the wage freeze, speed up, and unemployment, If a chicken laya a duck egg, it means a total change, it means Revolution.

en la unión,Porque existe esto? Esto es un problema que toda la gente trabajadora del Tercer Mundo se confronta y toda la gente de color.

10 y 11 DE MARZO EN NUEVA YORK POR DAN BROWN, DEL COMITE CENTRAL DEL CONGRESO DE TRABAJADORES. NEGROS.

rCtial es la raíz, que esta en el corazón del problema de discriminación racial? La base del problema de la gente trabajadora, de la gente del tercer mundo en los EE.UU. se encuentra la discriminación racial—no se

puede separar las dos cosas.

Los duefios de los medios de producción, quienes controlan la sociedad siempre han podido poner a los trabajadores Negros contra los trabajadores blancos y al labor blanco contra el labor negro. Esto sucede no porque nosotros no le caemos bien a ellos, si no ellos mantienen

la discariminacíon racial entre los trabajadores porque así

Al principio de los 1950*s la gente negra en los EE.UU.

Primero creíamos que podiamos integramos con los blancos | en América para resolver el problema. Mucha gente pensaba que los blancos solamente querian ser mal*>s con los puertorriqueños, dominicanos, negros y asiáticos.
