I found this while looking up old school ex-communist blacks who realized they were betrayed.
Absolutely fascinating stuff, in my opinion. Tons of ridiculously quotable and topic al stuff in here, too. And it's amazing how so many issues back then are still around today.
Manning Johnson is the "negro" - the term at the time - being discussed here, and the original one I was thinking about, but also check out Richard Wright and Leonard Patterson, other names that came up in my search. Look up any of their stuff. I can't speak for all of it, but it seems excellent and absolutely scathing, from what I've seen.
Another excellent quote from this event: "Most of today's self-styled revolutionaries...come from good homes, could earn better than average incomes...are products of some of the finest institutions of finer learnings."
The more things change, the more they stay the same.
"It's literally a question of life and death for all of us, and it's about time the American people began to face up to that fact, and to act accordingly!"

I first learned about G Edward Griffith from his book Creature from Jekyll Island which is great. So much more of his stuff I need to check out
