I have long advocated that white people become Black. Black people already have two souls, as WEB Dubois taught us in _The Souls of Black Folks_ , Black people have two souls, one Black and one white.
If white people would fulfill their potential for the same, we have Black and white united to fight for freedom for all, socialism.

Hmmm, I see. My remedy for "white" folks is that through struggle and sacrifice, they gleefully abandon their membership in the "white" race and join the human race, at which point they might actually discover "soulfulness." The notion that there is such a thing as a "white race" is a powerful mythology that flies in the face of good science, obfuscates history and frustrates attempts to build lasting solidarity among un-free people, working and otherwise. Being "white" is about enjoying, or expecting, relative entitlements, priviledges, and power. Being "white" is absolutely antithetical to truth, the blues, Stravinsky, freedom and justice, democracy and, generally speaking, the Lord's work. Being "white" is about kicking, directly or indirectly, Black ass. Being "white" is about being a willing or unwilling accomplice to the greatest evils of the last 300 some odd years.
Or in short, fuck "Black and White, Unite and Fight!" I am more interested in large number of "white" folks committing racial suicide--that is, beginning to feel some of the historical pain of Black folks thru "political" activity--as a prerequisite to building a powerful opposition to authoritarian rule.
