What are u, Drew Carry?
Swedd, Malcolm X would reject most of Booker T Washington’s beliefs. You
see the reason Booker T gets so much heat and criticism is not because he
preached self-reliance. ( If you care to study black leaders in the past,
they all preached that.). Booker T gets criticism because he has a
passive, roll over response to white supremacy in America. He did not
believe blacks should have equal rights and he also felt the only way
blacks can be friends with whites is if we assimilate to their cultural
standard of living. So as long as we talk like them, think just like them,
adhere to the same political and religious views as them, only then will we
be considered equal and gain their respect.
Malcolm X was 100% against assimilation. He preached individualism not
being taken over by the Borg. Malcolm, just like DuBois, felt blacks and
other minorities should be able to embrace their own cultural standards and
not be treated as second class citizens for doing so. Ironically, white
americans are very narrow minded to cultures that do not originate from
their ancestors.
Hell, even white Europeans are far more advanced and open minded when it
comes to accepting others for cultural differences and treating them as
equals. Only in America, are we this primitive lol.
I think the best thing to do is borrow from both. I agree with Booker T on
the skills thing if you look at today’s economy jobs like HVAC, Plumber,
Electrician, Truck Driver, Auto Mechanic etc….. are jobs that pay well
and can’t be exported. You can grow power with an economic base. However I
don’t agree with his view on accepting racism and wait for the white man to
change his mind approach. No one has ever gotten freedom by waiting on
their oppressor to help them.
he might be a lil odd but he did explain the basics very well and quickly –
helps a lot when you’re loaded with other work
I love Booker T Washington and I respect Dubois but all Booker Washington
was asking Dubois was: “How can you eat and support yourself with
intellectual pursuit?” Granted you are admired for your intelligence and
your ability to articulate your struggle to gain kudos for using big words
but as he learned later in life, these words had minimal effect on White
Supremacy. A Talented Tenth is not equivalent to a self-sufficient
earner……sorry
For those who were asking, it is in fact pronounced Du BOYZ. As one of my
history teachers once told me, “Forget your semester of French and say the
man’s name right.” LOL
This was great for my sophomores! Thank you!
DuBwah 🙂
Not completely disagreeing however the boiled down concept is WEB DuBois
favored a road of resistance judicially and socially and Booker carved a
path of assimilation. Nothing wrong with that but he preferred pushing
people within themselves within the system, perhaps to great heights and
WEB was not willing to live within that system without rocking the vote.
No? Tuskagee Institute is nothing to poo poo, but I stand on the concept
sir.
Good video, Keith. Really enjoyed it!
Nice video. There are far stranger places one could be “weird on the
internet.” lol. Keep up the great videos.
Is it pronounced “DuBoys” or “DuBwah?”
I think he had something called the tenth plan, which was to rely on the
top 10% of educated blacks to infiltrate and use the system, the legal
system. He advocated that all blacks should have equal access tot he
nations education system and should be able to progress to their natural
talent.
I think both had a point. While being denied Civil Rights isn’t right, I
feel that the system kinda required that people make a status of themselves
before they begin to advance to other areas such as civil rights. People
most of the time pay more attention to those with more money and education.
(which is understandable, even though we’re taught that in a democracy,
everyone has mostly equal representation and say)
That thumbnail is spooky!!
What a surprise… they both look just as white as they do black!!!!!!
The Booker approach I think was more effective in improving life conditions
Political freedom is meaningless without economic freedom through an
education or trade
It’s the beautiful ugly that results from YT algorithms. I think the more
pressing question is what the hell are you doing watching videos about
songs about what a wookie would do.
No race can prosper till it learns there is as much dignity in tilling a
field as in writing a poem. ~Booker T. Washington It is a peculiar
sensation, this double-consciousness, this sense of always looking at one’s
self through the eyes of others…. One ever feels his twoness, – an
American, a Negro; two souls, two thoughts, two unreconciled strivings; two
warring ideals in one dark body, whose dogged strength alone keeps it from
being torn asunder. ~W.E.B. DuBois
I hope you don’t teach this in schools because there is nothing ‘system’
about Booker T…you need to get the real info from Sweddr.
vote should be boat.
How did i go from the song what would a wookie do to this?
Interesting. They both represent two completely different philosophies.
Booker T influenced M Garvey who influenced Malcolm X (thru his Dad)…Now
people like to say that Booker T was a ‘sell-out’ but he was the opposite
if you look at his followers, and the products of his belief. WEB was NAACP
which was led by whites.
there is some more in depth understanding of Booker T and the realignment
of blacks to the democrats in this video, avoid accepting lies and watch
this video – watch?v=n64OY6XaxSY
