Illustrated with commentary and contemporary newspaper excerpts."Color, Communism and Common Sense" by Manning Johnson is a provocative and insightful exploration of the intersection between race, ideology, and politics in mid-20th century America. Written by a former member of the Communist Party USA, this book offers a unique perspective on the tactics and strategies employed by communists to exploit racial tensions and advance their agenda.Manning Johnson, drawing from his personal experiences and observations, provides a candid and critical analysis of the communist influence within various civil rights movements. He argues that communists sought to manipulate genuine grievances within the African American community to further their own political objectives, rather than genuinely seeking racial equality and justice.The book delves into Johnson's journey from his early involvement with the Communist Party to his eventual disillusionment and departure. Through his narrative, Johnson exposes the methods used by communist organizers to infiltrate and control organizations, and the detrimental impact these tactics had on the African American community and the broader struggle for civil rights."Color, Communism and Common Sense" is not just a political critique; it is a call for common sense and clarity in addressing racial issues without falling prey to ideological manipulation. Johnson advocates for a genuine, grassroots approach to civil rights that prioritizes the true interests and well-being of the community over political ideology.This work is an essential read for those interested in the history of the civil rights movement, the influence of communist ideology in America, and the broader implications of political manipulation on social justice efforts. Manning Johnson's "Color, Communism and Common Sense" remains a thought-provoking and relevant contribution to discussions on race, politics, and the pursuit of equality.
