ABSTRACT

In contrast to Anglo-Saxon race and color prejudice and the economic exploitation and political disfranchisement of the Negro in parts of the United States, Soviet Russia has adopted as its goal a classless society without distinction of race, color or caste, and is pressing forward with determination toward its attainment. There is probably less race and color prejudice in the Soviet Union today than in any country in the world that has a mixture of races. In the cities of a whole section of South Africa the Negro, by law, is forbidden the use of the sidewalks, but must walk with the cattle in the street just because he is an African upon his own continent and does not belong to the conquering race. The principle of essential spiritual equality and brotherhood is embodied in the ideal of a classless society in Soviet Russia and denied in practice by the Anglo-Saxon race and their Christian church members.
