Here, an article written by my comrades and passed at a National Congress as our position on the 'Black Question' in the United States.

Its quite a lengthy read but, for anyone interested, enjoy.

Fightback ( IMT-Canada) (http://www.marxist.ca/)Well there's a shock, an IMT member approving of its work.

Comparing the Black question in the USA to the Jewish question in Russia is completely false. In Russia, Jews were already members of the social-democratic party - Lenin attacked the Bund for wanting to split them away from the party. In the USA, seeing as black workers are often much more militant and class-conscious than their white class brothers, there's nothing wrong inherently with a black workers' organization, in fact it could be desirable under certain conditions, as it could be used by revolutionaries to reach the black proletarian vanguard.

Of course, for the IMT the vanguard party stance is just so much rhetoric. Its practice of supporting mass reformist organizations where they exist and helping to give credibility to new ones when they are created is consistent with their brazen opposition to black self-organization.
