Dear Sir:
Riehurd tricht the nerro who wrote black boy and Native Son books
are doin~ no good end a lot of harm they ere causin- disunity and svreading
race h.tred and if you veomle dont want «america tore up the same as
Gerneny you hid better nut ea sto> to sutch neonle as th:t poor old ase
of a Southern Ser: tor with nis baes to africa move ment and sutch
old “fools es that voor erzzgy old Richerd uricht. Te colored people
are pood nutured all we wart is justice & good job With good pay for work
well deve, Every tine we turn around some one is compleinine narring
eonstink: critercising every thinz we do. Hichard Jricht seem_to be un-
heany in americ: so we wish to God he wouid le.ve and Fo some slice else
for he is geting on our nerves. I and al] the other colored veonle know
that ninty vercent of the trash tht he puts in his books are lies, but
if vec-le in Ser. wahy should cet a hold of Slack boy 1's awful] afraid Uncle
Sant'ts face is ecinc to be red for you cent rule a Germen if you cant
ruié america. and the lies that poor sick braned fool Richard Vrircht out
in his booxs sure dont do america any good in the foreigner's eye sight.
we colored peovle want Richard uricght's books baned if he cant write a
story without tryin: to agitete race trouble we want him to pick himself
anew vocation, Just cet e copy of his books and go through them. We
dont see why he isn't in the ansy anyway. If he went to India or som
other place and saw how horrible those peonle live then he would see how
far advanced we are, After all we colored peonle are doing the best we
can if you Would get a covy of the negro hand book for 1942 you would
see ju:t how well we are doing. we are only a mall race of people.
ve colored peovle are very discouraged and that is the reason sixty million
Little bity Japanese can fight all most two billion people without a allie
and hole out so long. Because that Billion colored peonle are on the
point of giving up. After all this is not our war amd if we win we loose
So I supvose there is nothing to do but just say to hell with the hole
ploody mess, » 9 Go
This is from that poor old fools book Blac y enough to
provoke the devil. .
