I’m reading Booker T book

One important key that needs to be stressed about Booker T Washington is that he emphasized owning land, valuing economic independence, building self-sustaining communities, and owning trades... while living within the racist Jim Crow South. This was a much more realistic, long range approach in my opinion... especially during the times of the Industrial Revolution to the Great Depression. Building economic power, financial independence, solidarity, and self sustainability... would have given Black people within following generations much more political and economic leverage...than what is seen today. W.E.B Dubois wanted expedient equality through agitation, robust voting rights, and societal inclusion. I am a fan of this approach as well...but let's be honest... this was the step Booker T wanted carried out after securing economic independence and land/business ownership. Black folks chose the in your face Niagra Movement and PAN African movements of the time,,, not understanding the strategic brilliance of Booker T Washington. We got this one backwards as a ppl in my honest opinion.

Actually, this is surface level true. Washington pursued DuBois ideas( he practically funded Jim Crow opposition of the day in the South), he was brilliant in not openly showing his hand. DuBois actually built up the idea of college training among black men, with a "Talented Tenth" being exceptional in a.) Building up their brethren in overcoming obstacles b.) Being a refutation of racist ideas of black men being brutal beasts. That's why, for nearly a decade, these two great men agreed and even occasionally collaborated. The real problem was between BTW and William Monroe Trotter. DuBois was in between as a person who was a Harvard man as well as a HBCU man. He eventually sided with Monroe Trotter, only to accept Bookers recommendations the very year Trotter died( 1934, which got him ousted the first time from the NAACP). Thus, it's not a matter of whom to follow because blacks once followed BOTH in different ways, to now following neither.

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.

Booker T. was about respecting yourself, improving yourself, and creating value in your community which in turn gains respect in one's community. Dubois was about lifting up a party for a race of people, and demanding respect through politics. When asked how the black race would prosper, Dubois responded that "The Few Will Raise The Many." Nice slogan, but the black race is still waiting. Simple; Booker T. = Free Enterprise, Dubois = Communism; personalIy, I like the word "Free."

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.

I read it as "WE b DUH boiiiisss"

To put it into the context of the classic 1984 movie A Soldier's Story, DuBois was Sgt. Waters, while Booker T was C.J. Memphis.

Atlanta Exposition sir. Not compromise. There is a huge distinction

Looking at the big picture you attract mores flies with honey than with vinegar. Booker is the honey and DuBois is vinegar, and it is a shame that Booker isn't celebrated more.

The talented tenth was DuBois's idea of having an educated group to pass knowledge to the next generation.

Washington’s approach was likely necessary in the days immediately after slavery but thank god Dubois managed to chart an alternate path. Washington was too bogged down by the old classical liberalism in his approach and had a kind of liberal idealism about his philosophy that required a course correction.

Its super annoying that these two figures are taught as rivals and not brothers to the movement. Yes, WEB.D might have been a little jealous of Washingtons access and notoriety at the time, particularly since he was denied a job at Tuskegee, but they both contributed greatly to society and should not be presented as if one was right and the other was wrong. BTW, Frederick Douglass counseled Abraham Lincoln on Negro soldiers and Emancipation.

Both plans work. There must be a plan set which encourages working and generating wealth for the next generation to attend school and become educated. This generation then helps the family because they now are educated enough to have the resources to help others. Our society now is more focus on a quick come up which will never work long term. We must understand that our hard work now creates a better future for our children. There must be a sacrifice and a plan to help generations old and young similar to the Asian way of life. In their culture they experience the same prejudices and hate as blacks but they understand that this is life. Everyone will not treat you fair and you must fight where you best can be competitive. The only way out of it is hard work, unity, and to take care of your family. Asian parents travel to America and work day and night to make enough money to pay for the childrens college "cash". They dont' believe in debt. They believe if you cant pay for it cash then you cant afford it. The black community money goes out just as quick as it comes in. Theres no growth with no capital. We must save our money. This is a Major issue in our community.. When saving, community unity, not blaming whitey and hard work ethics become the norm then we will see the necessary positive changes so desperately needed in our communities.

Booker t wanted them to work hard and have a trade that they were good at so that they could slowly conform and have the same rights as whites in the society. While w.e.b debois wanted them to have immediate full civil rights then and there. He wanted them to fight for their rights and he was saying they needed to have the same rights as everyone else because it was constitutional. While both have an interesting argument its hard to choose a side. They both are trying to handle the situation in a different way, and both are right in some way. While booker t. was more of a long term thing, debois wanted immediate action which would lead to fights and riots. Booker t had the more logical answer to the problem of racism. His method would be something that would not cause whites to resent blacks and would make them slowly accept them instead. Blacks would slowly merge into society and have their rights.

This is a very incorrect interpretation of Booker T. Malcolm X would have loved Booker T. and respected most of his concepts. He was the outside of the system African American. He wanted African Americans to build their own and be self-sufficient. WEB was trying to get blacks to fight to get a seat at the table. a place in the white structure. This guy doesn't know a thing of these two leaders. They would love for you to believe that self sufficiency was conformity and conformity was uprising. Because Booker T. wanted Black people to own their own and not be indebted to anyone.

+Brandon Rodriguez Exactly... To quote Bill Whittle, and Booker T. Washington himself: "The gladiator on the progressive side was a black intellectual named W.E.B. Du Bois, and his theory was, we need to go to white America right now and demand from them, demand from them, money and political power and laws, and then we -- what he termed the Talented Tenth -- we Talented Tenth -- in other words, the elite 10 percent of the black population, the smart ones -- would then distribute this largess out towards the black population, and we’d raise up the entire race like that. "Unfortunately, nobody foresaw that if you give the Talented Tenth all the money and all the power, the first thing they’re going to do is leave black neighborhoods, like Reverend Wright did, and go live in gated white communities. But the Talented Tenth was given the idea that if they would get the money and the power, they’d distribute it to the black community, and that’s the path that we took. "Opposing W.E. B. Du Bois was one of the greatest Americans who ever lived, unbelievably under represented. This man should be on every poster we have. His name was Booker T. Washington. Booker T. Washington took precisely the opposite approach, precisely the opposite approach. Booker T. Washington said to these people who had just been liberated as slaves, he said, 'those of you who worked on plantations are going to have to go back to plantations, maybe to the exact same plantation, and you’re going to have to work in those fields for pay, so that your children can be mechanics, so that their children can be doctors.' "And Booker T. Washington said you cannot demand respect. You can only earn respect. Booker T. Washington said to black America, in order for us to integrate into the society, we cannot be just as good as white people. We have to be better than them. We have to come in with our own economy. We have to come in with our own businesses. We have to come in as equals, and if we offer them $10 for $10 of service, they’re going to respect us in a way that they don’t if we just ask them to give us $10. "And Booker T. Washington wasn’t all talk and no action, either. He raised some money. He started the Tuskegee Institute, and the Tuskegee Institute students had a higher graduation rate, higher test scores than the white American students did, and even more importantly, they had a higher legitimacy rate as well. Their families were stronger. They were better students and they were better people, because they were demanded to be better. They were not just equals, they were better than us, because they were demanded to be. They were held to that standard. "And when he started this, Tuskegee Airmen came out that group during World War II, a group of fighter pilots with substandard training and substandard equipment. Later in the war, they got P51s. They never lost a bomber, ever. That escort group never lost a bomber, unique in the history of World War II. "And what Booker T. Washington realized was if I have a racist pilot, white pilot flying a bomber, we can order him to respect us or we can have a black fighter pilot off his wing who’s going to risk his life or maybe get killed, so that he can go home to his family, and that’s going to earn us the respect that we would never have been able to demand. "Same thing happened in the 54th Massachusetts during the Civil War. An all-black regiment went and attacked Battery Wagner. The Union soldiers thought that these were sub-humans. They didn’t think they were sub-humans when that battle was over. They earned that respect. That was what Booker T. Washington promised black America. "Think about this for one second, if he had gotten his way, think about an America where black people are looked up to as the educated people, as the good people, the people with the strong families, as the intellectual, hardworking elite of America. That was the vision that Booker T. Washington had for America, and that was what he was achieving at the Tuskegee Institute. "And, no, no, we made the decision to go the easy route. We made the decision to go the entitlement route. We made the decision to go the racial-envy route and the rage route and the hostility route and the dependency route and all of that. It’s a catastrophe. It’s a catastrophe, and the only people that benefit are the Talented Tenth, guys like, you know, Reverend Wright and Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson and Barack Obama. It’s a catastrophe. It’s a catastrophe."

Keith, being that I was born and raised in Tuskegee, my family has been there since we were freed as slaves and my great grand mother being one of Booker T.'s early students, I have made a lifelong study of his work. The spirit of Tuskegee, although far from it now, was based on a since of self-sufficiency not integration or acceptance of racism. In Booker T's own words "We are socially as different as the space between our fingers." He was one of the people inspired Malcom X and Marcus Garvey, he came up with the name "Black Wall Street" and developed the concept of the black progressive town in what he called "Greenwood". At Tuskegee they built their own vehicles and he was the largest brick manufacturer in the United States at the time. Tuskegee was then and is now over 95% African American as was almost every town he ever promoted or assisted in the development of. He was for Black people gaining equality through setting themselves as equals to whites by the absolute value of our independent environment. It was W.E.B. DuBois who dubbed his speech at the Atlanta Cotton Fair as the "Atlanta Compromise". Where Booker T. only suggested that black people be used in the place of immigrants on the industrial workforce so that they could gain greater industrial skills to further their own independent spaces. W.E.B. on the other hand thought that we could work inside the system and promoted a since of entitlement that was gained by traditional education and securing igh positions in society. In the end he disagreed with his own paper of the "talented tenth" saying that they had only become the arrogant upper class and provided no value in uplifting the race. As for your idea, I do create my own videos. They promote people of all races to focus on industrial and traditional skills as a means of developing strength into our collective communities that have been undeserved or forgotten by the mainstream society. I live, preach and fund the modern version of Booker T.'s teachings and model in order to help those who have been stuck in poverty or weighed down by systems of dependency. You can find me at @FreedomNation if you care to watch. I have videos from over 40 countries we traveled to in order to understand the impact of those who take their future into their own hands in the manner Booker T. taught. Teachings that are so relevant and powerful, that when misquoted and misrepresented in any part of the internet, no matter how vast, a correction is required.

Faruq Hunter Booker believed in self sufficiency so much he scoured the North in search of plentiful white donations to keep the school afloat 😂😂

um, not really, Booker T was saying democracy is an illusion, and that would be backed up by people like Edward Bernays who was instrumental in forming the second klan to keep people divided for political purposes. Propaganda like Birth of A Nation was all white people needed to push white exceptionalism narratives.

KeepItLit yes pretty much, that's why conservatives love em, the good old" we didn't need the civil war, the virtuous slave owners would have been tired of slavery at some point and they would have freed their slaves themselves", "we didn't need the civil rights act, white people in the South would have had an epiphany at some point and they would have given black people equal rights" absurd arguments. mind you, these are the same people who worship the founding fathers for defeating the British, never heard a right winger argue they should have waited for the British to hand them their independence

@artistNexile I think you completely misunderstood the nature of the comment, as well as dramatically expressed a very discombobulated point of view with a severely egregious undertone. She wasn't defending Booker T; rather, she was inquisitively hinting at a flaw in his thinking (because democracy isn't earned, it is lost). She didn't even say enough to properly express a misconception of the historical context of Booker T's ideologies.

the problem with booker t washington's POV is that the system was a failure for African Americans to begin with.

To put in context, just say anything about black disempowerment in frank terms here and watch how many defensive white responses you receive

Black disempowerment is in the minds of black people. Planted there like a crop by MSMDEMOCRATS to be reaped like a crop every election. Its called propaganda and Blacks that believe it are suffering from Indentured votertude. Grow a pair, go out there and live the American dream, or listen to MSNBC and keep fighting a race war that doesn't exist.

A white Man narrating this and y’all listening
