Communist and Socialist please read. Carter G Woodson The Miseducation of the Negro The Impatient, highly educated Negroes, therefore, say that since under the present system of Capitalism the Negro has no Chance to toil upward in the economic sphere, the only hope for bettering his condition in this respect is through socialism, the overthrow of the present economic regime, and the inauguration of popular control of resources and agencies which are now being operated for personal gain. This thought is gaining ground among Negroes in this country, and it is rapidly sweeping them into the ranks of what are commonly known as Communist. There can be no objection to this radical change, if it brings with it some unselfish genius to do the task better than it is now being done under the present regime of completion. Russia so far has failed to do well this particular thing under a proletarian dictatorship in an agricultural country. But where this millennium comes of not, the capitalistic system is so strongly intrenched at present that the radicals must struggle many years to overthrow it; and if the Negro has to wait until that time to improve his condition he will be starved out soon that he will not be here to tell the story. The Negro; therefore, like all other oppressed people, must learn to do the so-called Impossible. The Uneducated Negro business man, however, is actually at work doing the very thing which the mis-educated Negro has been taught to believe cannot be done. - Carter G Woodson
